Zhengzhou, China – 20/5/2025 – Zhengzhou Shinewash Technology has delivered its K9 Touchless Car Wash Machine and Self-Service Washing Units to a customer in Romania.
These advanced, automated car wash systems bring modern and eco-friendly car washing to cities like Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, and beyond. Designed for busy urban locations, the K9 touchless car wash system helps save water, reduce labor, and protect vehicles — all while operating 24/7.
With features like Intelligent Anti-Collision, dual 5.5KW dryers, and efficient water usage (90–140 liters per car), the K9 model is a strong solution for Romanian car wash operators looking to grow their business with smart technology.
The K9 contactless car wash system is built to reduce water use by up to 45% compared to manual washing. This is important for Romanian businesses that must follow EU water regulations and face seasonal water shortages. With a working pressure of 100–120KG, the K9 model provides a deep clean using only 90–140 liters per vehicle.
This makes the system both eco-friendly and cost-effective, helping operators lower their water bills while still delivering excellent cleaning results.
The K9 touchless car wash system runs without staff, thanks to its PLC control system and automatic fault detection. From spraying foam and high-pressure washing to drying the vehicle, everything is done automatically. This allows operators to offer car washing services even during late hours or holidays, helping them increase revenue without hiring extra workers.
The system also supports cashless payments and can be connected to self-service payment kiosks or mobile apps, giving customers a fast and easy experience.
Romania experiences cold winters, especially in regions like Transylvania. The K9 contactless car wash system is designed for these conditions:
With these features, operators can keep their car wash open year-round, even in harsh winter conditions.
