RESTORE & MAINTAIN / TRAIN WASHING

Turn train washing into a controlled depot process.

ISTOBAL builds dedicated rolling-stock wash systems, water treatment, chemicals and connected service tools. The real product is a repeatable cleaning workflow that fits the depot.

In practice: move the train through a purpose-built wash process, clean the right surfaces, manage the water, and return the vehicle to service.

Spain · Rolling-stock wash systems

Railway wash plants, water recycling, chemicals, connectivity and lifecycle technical service.

PRODUCT OPTIONS

ISTOBAL covers the washing machine, water system and operating layer.

Railway wash systems are engineered around train geometry and depot flow. Roof, ends, inter-car, underframe and water-reuse functions are selected project by project.

01

HW'TRAIN THROUGH

Drive-through rolling-stock wash architecture.

Best for: high-throughput depots where trains can move through the wash path

02

HW'PROGRESS2 RS

Railway wash system architecture for controlled vehicle cleaning.

Best for: project-specific rolling-stock wash facilities

03

Water Recycling & Treatment

Recover and condition wash water for reuse where the project supports it.

Best for: reducing water consumption and managing depot utilities

04

esens Chemicals

Cleaning chemistry integrated with ISTOBAL wash systems.

Best for: controlled compatibility and cleaning performance

05

Smartwash

Connected monitoring and operational management for wash equipment.

Best for: usage visibility, service and digital maintenance

06

TAS Lifecycle Service

Technical assistance, parts and service support.

Best for: keeping the wash plant available over its lifecycle

HOW IT WORKS

The depot flow comes first.

01

Map the train movement

How will the vehicle enter, wash and exit?

02

Define what must be cleaned

Sides, ends, roof, inter-car, underframe or selected surfaces.

03

Engineer water and drainage

Supply, recycle, treat and discharge correctly.

04

Operate and maintain

Use chemistry, software and service as part of the system.

WHY THIS MATTERS

A wash plant can be technically good and still fail operationally if it does not fit the depot.

Train geometry, catenary, drainage, water quality and movement path can matter as much as the brushes themselves.

Before: cleaning is labor-heavy, inconsistent or disconnected from depot flow.

After: fleet cleaning becomes a repeatable facility process.

CBP'S ROLE

The product is only useful when it fits the real railway job.

CBP’s ISTOBAL route covers survey, project definition, railway-specific wash equipment, utilities coordination and lifecycle service rather than selling a generic vehicle wash.
