IMI Introduces the Innovative WHEEL TEQ Wheel Washer
On March 10, 2025, IMI proudly announced the release of its latest technology—the
WHEEL TEQ Wheel Washer, specifically engineered to meet the demands of fleets and commercial tire service shops. This cutting-edge solution is designed not only to clean but to optimize wheel maintenance, elevating operational efficiency to new levels.
Revolutionizing Wheel Cleaning
The WHEEL TEQ Wheel Washer offers a thorough cleaning process for both steel and aluminum wheels, effectively outperforming traditional power washing methods. With its ability to clean wheels ranging from 19" to 24", the washer operates in a quick, automated cycle taking just two minutes for both sides. This automation leads to faster turnaround times, drastically increasing productivity in busy service environments.
Bob Fogal, President of IMI, highlighted the growing demand among fleets for regular wheel cleaning, which extends beyond mere aesthetics. He noted that the washer is crucial for removing grease and grime that can otherwise impede safety inspections prior to retreading or mounting new tires. "The WHEEL TEQ provides tire dealers with an eco-friendly, profitable service that suits their customers’ needs,” he said.
Safety and Efficiency
The environmental advantages of the WHEEL TEQ Wheel Washer are noteworthy. Unlike traditional pressure washing—which is often restricted by regulations due to environmental concerns—this technology ensures effective cleaning while reducing water waste and conserving resources. By maintaining optimized water temperatures and pressures along with advanced cleaning techniques, the system is designed with environmental responsibility in mind.
Moreover, this innovative washer helps to detect potential problems in wheels, such as cracks and corrosion, thereby enhancing safety by extending wheel life. The comprehensive cleaning the WHEEL TEQ provides is set to become a standard in the industry, taking wheel maintenance to a new level of thoroughness and care.
Reducing Labor and Costs
In addition to improved cleaning quality, the WHEEL TEQ contributes significantly to reducing labor costs and wheel downtime. Its user-friendly design not only cuts down the time and effort required for maintenance but also allows tire dealers to add wheel cleaning to their repertoire of services effectively. The resultant savings in labor and time means that businesses can focus on other operational areas, further enhancing profitability.
IMI's WHEEL TEQ Wheel Washer is proudly manufactured in the United States, symbolizing the company's commitment to superior craftsmanship and quality. The launch reflects IMI's dedication to delivering practical solutions that enhance safety, efficiency, and profitability in the commercial trucking sector.
