Wheel Soaping
The Wheel Soaper module is integral to Dominion's tire and wheel system or can be configured as a stand-alone station for simple integration into our customer's process.
The Soaper provides a consistent application of soap to the wheel bead seat area. The process follows the wheel's outside diameter with no contact to the wheel face.
The Dominion Wheel Soaper is designed to apply a consistent amount of soap to the bead seat of the wheel. The wheel diameter is identified (optional) as it transfers through the soaping area.
The wheel is passed through the Soaper using a shuttle transfer device. As the wheel transfers through, brushes come in contact with the wheel's outer diameter, and then follow the complete wheel contour to provide a consistent bead of soap.
