Measures
A car wash OEM in Taiwan was designing a new installation layout with a new belting system. He decided to incorporate Habasit’s M5020 Flat Top belt as it provides a flat platform with a high level of strength required for this application.

Benefits
The conveyor system is capable of ***oothly moving 3 vehicles simultaneously, from sedans to SUVs to 7-seaters, which in total weigh over 5 t***. Compared with metal chains, plastic modules are more suitable for use in wet conditi*** since there is no problem with rusting. This means less effort for rust-removal and lubrication. The customer is so satisfied with HabasitLINK plastic modular belts that he plans to use them in all his high-grade car wash installati*** for the global market.
