Case Study: Mattias M-LM535 5-Brush Rollover Car Wash Installation at Tianchang Transport Gas Station, Anhui
The installation of the Mattias M-LM535 at the Tianchang Transport Gas Station marks a strategic upgrade for high-traffic fueling nodes in East China. By deploying a 5-brush rollover system with integrated high-pressure pre-wash, the station has successfully transitioned from a simple refueling stop to a multi-functional service hub. This setup delivers a wash speed of 12–20 vehicles per hour, optimizing the "fuel-plus-service" ROI while meeting the heavy-duty cleaning demands of a major regional transport corridor.
[Technical Specifications: Mattias M-LM535]
The M-LM535 is the "workhorse" of the Mattias rollover line, designed specifically for sites that require a balance between footprint and high-throughput cleaning power.
| Feature | Specification | Industrial Benefit |
| Cleaning System | 5-Brush Configuration (1 Top + 2 Side + 2 Wheel) | Multi-angle coverage ensures no blind spots on SUVs or sedans. |
| Frame Engineering | 4mm+ Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel | Superior corrosion resistance for the humid Anhui climate. |
| High-Pressure Pre-wash | Chassis + Lateral High-Pressure Nozzles | Removes heavy road grime before brushing to protect paint. |
| Drying Power | 4 x 5.5kW Integrated Blowers | High-velocity airflow for a "spot-free" finish at high speeds. |
| Control Logic | Siemens/Delta PLC with Remote Diagnosis | Minimizes downtime via cloud-based error reporting. |
| Installation Space | Approx. L10m × W3.8m × H3m | Ideal for retrofitting into existing gas station bays. |
[Regional Operation Analysis: Tianchang, Anhui]
1. Strategic Logistics PositioningTianchang serves as a critical "gateway" between Anhui and the Jiangsu economic circle (Nanjing/Yangzhou). The Transport Gas Station handles a high volume of local commuters and inter-city logistics vehicles. The M-LM535’s 3-minute express wash cycle is specifically tuned to match the average refueling time, preventing traffic bottlenecks during peak hours.
2. Climate & Environmental ResilienceAnhui’s subtropical climate brings heavy rainfall and seasonal mud. The M-LM535’s lateral high-pressure system is essential here, as it effectively clears mud from wheel wells and lower chassis components—areas where traditional brush-only machines often fail. The hot-dip galvanized structure prevents the "internal rust" issues common in cheaper, spray-painted alternatives.
3. Economic Impact (ROI)For gas stations in the Tianchang region, an automated car wash is a proven volume driver. By offering "Refuel + Free/Discounted Wash," the station can expect a 15% to 20% increase in customer retention. With the M-LM535's low water and power consumption, the "break-even" point for the equipment is significantly shorter than manual wash bays.
[FAQ]
Q1: How does the M-LM535 handle the heavy mud common in transport hubs?
A: The M-LM535 uses a two-stage process. First, high-pressure water jets strip away heavy solids. Second, the intelligent 5-brush system uses proximity sensors to adjust pressure, ensuring that the brushes only engage with the surface after the abrasive grit has been flushed away.
Q2: Is the machine compatible with various payment and membership systems?
A: Yes. The Mattias control system is open-architecture. At the Tianchang site, it can be integrated with QR code payments (Alipay/WeChat) or gas station membership cards, allowing for 24/7 unmanned operation.
Q3: What is the maintenance requirement for a high-volume site like a transport station?
A: Thanks to the self-lubricating bearings and high-grade Italian-style PE brushes (which don't absorb water or dirt), daily maintenance is minimal. A weekly visual check of the sensors and monthly lubrication of the drive chains is usually sufficient for 24/7 reliability.
