So how does it work?
In a fully automated system, the wheel is washed under one minute without any manual handling. The machine lifts the wheels and stacks them in a safe and efficient way.
Drester Flow is built for all users. The warehouse operator simply stacks his tires on a conveyor belt, scans the label and Drester Flow takes care of the rest. The infeed, the washing and the outfeed is done fully automatically. And in the center is our well-proven wash technology with the new Drester GT40 wheel washer. It incorporates new features as a dynamic arm and patented special nozzle allowing you to wash with your center caps on your rim. With a double drive, allowing you to wash your wheels with the labels on. IWith our well-proven granular technology that gives you great wash result at a very low cost.
Drester Flow can be integrated with scanning solutions, helping you collect real data, rim data and provide additional revenue streams. We offer different scanning options. We measure tread depth, detect studs and uneven wear. We photograph the rim, detect damage and collect tire data, like model size and brand.
The Drester Flow is a compact and space efficient product that is designed to fit any facility. It can be placed against a wall or standing free out in an open room. The product only needs a 400V power output, 16A power rating, compressed air and water. No ventilation is needed and installation is very simple.
Our experienced configuration team guides you step by step through the installation process, making it straightforward and hassle free.
How can the Drester Flow wash as many as 5.000 wheels before water change is needed? The answer is that it’s equipped with the Drester Filter eQ. The Filter eQ eliminates up to 97% of the particles and removes the heavy metals from the water. Thus giving you clean water that you can release out into your drain system.
Drester Flow is built from modules that are combined to fit the customer needs. We configure the conveyors to fit the number of tire stacks that you need. Straight conveyors, 90 degree turns and special unload/load modules. We start by understanding your requirements. How many tire stacks you handle, your facility layout, and your preferred conveyor flow. Then we review your space and infrastructure, including floor, drain, electricity, air and network connection. For a perfect fit. For the owner or the manager of a tire hotel or a large tire shop, the Drester Flow is an investment in efficiency With a very short payback time Drester Flow is not just a wheel washer, it’s the future of automated wheel handling.

The appropriate protection option depends on the operating environment of the SingleHeaters.
For dusty or contaminated production environments, glass protection is recommended to maintain performance and maximize lamp lifetime — up to 20,000 operating hours.
In cleaner environments, net/mesh protection is often sufficient and offers a more cost-effective solution.
QuickLift is an option on Drester wheel washers GP12 and GP10 to help get the wheel lifted into washing position in an ergonomic way. Just roll the wheel onto the cradle and it will automatically be positioned by the wheel washer entry point. From here, it just needs a little push in to start the wash cycle.
Look for the "Configure" button on the Product page to choose a wheel washer with QuickLift factory-installed (recommended). To retrofit, find the QuickLift as an Add-on Accessory further down on the Product page (art no 230315).
Drester GP24 comes with two trolleys (1 trolley = 2 wheels). The trolleys can be docked together and also docked to the wheel washer, for completely automated wheel washing.
We recommend up to four trolleys for a smooth process. There are optional article numbers for a GP24 with two trolleys (always included) or four trolleys. Use the Configure-function to choose your model.
More trolleys can of course be ordered separately and also be used for general handling/logistics (art nr 230556).
The Water Cleaning Kit is already included in some wheel washers. Use the "Configure"-button on the product page to find a version where WCT is included. You can also order this as an Accessory/Consumable in Add-ons, further down on the page (art no 230375).
The waste water treatment process developed by Drester uses an advanced flocculation powder that binds to dirt and heavy metal residuals, creating flocks or clumps. The flocks are easily filtered out from the water allowing the water to be cleaned to meet local environmental regulations. The sludge and debris collected in the filters is hazardous waste and should be disposed of using a specialist waste collection service.

By adding incoming water connection to your wheel washer, Drester Clean rinse system can be installed, adding a small but sufficient amount of water to each cleaning cycle (0.3 litre/wheel). This is used for a final clean rinse of the wheel.
The same amount of wastewater is then filtered and disposed through the drain or into a dispenser placed beside the wheel washer.
The Clean rinse system is automatically installed on all the GP24 models. It is available as factory installed on some of the GP10/12 models and as an optional kit that can be installed on GP10/12 machines that don’t have it. Use the "Configure"-button on the product page to choose your version.
To order as an accessory, go to Add-ons further down on the Product page and look for 230357 Clean rinse.
NOTE: By adding a Drester GP Filter eQ filtration unit to your GP24/12/10 wheel washer, you can wash up to 5000 wheels without a water change. (The Clean rinse must be installed on the wheel washer to combine it with the filtration unit.)
Some IRT infrared dryers feature built-in temperature control with preprogrammed curing recipes.
Rather than simply heating the surface to a target temperature, the system follows a complete curing profile. For example, it can gradually increase the temperature over a defined period, maintain it for a specified time, and then continue to a higher target temperature if required.
Multi-stage curing profiles are particularly beneficial for thicker materials or more demanding repairs, such as A-pillars and other structural areas.
To simplify operation, several proven curing recipes are supplied as standard. Users can also modify existing recipes or create their own to suit specific paint systems, materials, or repair processes.
Energy-use displayed after each cycle:
(A complete drying cycle, as in this example, consumes just 0.84 kWh of electricity – a fraction of the energy required to heat an entire spray booth.)
IRT Rail Systems maximize workspace by keeping the dryer overhead and ready for use. The self-balanced dryer arm provides effortless, precise positioning, while integrated cable management improves safety and keeps cables protected. This significantly extends cable service life, minimizes maintenance, and ensures reliable operation year after year.
