Overview
About the SiteWash 6
The SiteWash 6 extends the wash passage to 6 m, giving each vehicle more time under the nozzles. It is specified for quarries, major construction projects and sites where heavy ground and high traffic volumes combine.
Tank capacity, pump and nozzle configuration are sized to the site. For clay or silt, or for sustained high traffic, the SiteWash 6 is supplied with a larger steel tank, or runs from an existing concrete tank or settlement lagoon.
Where it's used. Quarries and major construction projects in Ireland and Europe.

Installation
Installation
Inset. The tank and wash bay go into a stepped excavation on a compacted stone base and finish flush with the road, so trucks drive straight through with nothing to strike.
Surface mounted. Sits on the ground with ramps, for sites where excavation isn't possible or permitted.
With no welding or hot work. Installed by Glanaco, a local partner or the contractor's own team, working to the Glanaco installation manual with our support. Operator training is included.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What power does the SiteWash 6 need?
A three phase supply: 480 V 60 Hz in North America or 400 V 50 Hz in Europe. The pump rating is confirmed with the quotation.
Does the SiteWash 6 need a water connection?
Yes, for the first fill and for top-up. Wash water is recirculated in a closed loop, so top-up covers only evaporation and water carried off on vehicles.
How many trucks a day can the SiteWash 6 handle?
Up to 350 truck movements a day, depending on ground conditions and water volume. Every system is sized from a site assessment.
How often is the tank emptied?
Typically every two to three months, and sooner on heavy ground. The site arranges emptying with a vacuum truck, and Glanaco maintains and services the system.
Can I rent the SiteWash 6?
Yes. Rental is available direct in Ireland and the UK, and through partners in other markets. Rental includes delivery, installation, commissioning and collection.
What is the warranty?
5 years on the superstructure and tank. 2 years on pumps and control panels. The warranty applies to new systems.
