• Doctor Carwash in Italy installs first detailing conveyor: Doctor Carwash, located in Brescia, Italy, has become one of the few car washes in the country to feature a full-length detailing conveyor system. The existing system, which had been in place for over 10 years, faced multiple challenges, leading to excessive downtime and ongoing maintenance issues. Doctor Carwash, reached out to Ammeraal Beltech to explore options for renewing the detailing conveyor with a new uni-ACB plastic modular belt. At the time, Carwash Transmissies had just begun a partnership with Ammeraal Beltech to develop their own solutions for both dual-lane express washes and detailing conveyors. One year later, the new conveyor system, installed with support from Maurice Piket Techniek, was successfully launched in early July.
