Overview
About the SiteWash Flexi
Standard SiteWash systems place the wash bay beside the recycling tank, which needs two excavations at two depths. On the SiteWash Flexi, the driving bars and side walls sit on a support frame mounted directly on the tank, so the whole system goes into one excavation and takes up less room at the entrance.
The SiteWash Flexi was supplied to the zinc concentrate loadout at Eldorado Gold's Olympias mine in Greece, delivered through Ausenco in 2025, where concentrate washed off the trucks is recovered and returned to the process.
Where it's used. The concentrate loadout at the Olympias mine, Greece.

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 Flexi 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 Flexi 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 Flexi handle?
Sized to the site, 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 Flexi?
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.
