You deal directly with the factory, not intermediaries — this means more competitive pricing and more direct communication.

  • Exterior design and color customization
  • Language interface and software UI customization
  • Logo branding for your company
  • Payment module adaptation for specific markets

Ideal for distributors wanting to build their own brand in local markets.

How much does international shipping cost?

Shipping costs depend on:

  • Number of units ordered
  • Destination country and port
  • Shipping method (sea / air freight)

We use export-standard packaging to ensure machines arrive in perfect condition. Contact us for an accurate quote to your location.

How long does international shipping take?

Estimated delivery times:

  • Sea freight — Typically 2-6 weeks depending on destination
  • Air freight — Faster but higher cost

We provide tracking information and estimated arrival dates after shipment.

How is the machine installed?

Installation is plug & play:

  • Simply plug into a standard power outlet
  • Machine is ready to operate immediately — no complex installation
  • Smart management system enables remote monitoring via WiFi or SIM card
  • Track machine status, transaction count, and supply levels from your smartphone

No special technical skills required. We provide complete installation guides.

How difficult is machine maintenance?

Maintenance is simple thanks to modular interior design:

  • Daily — Wipe down the cleaning chamber, check the display
  • Weekly — Refill cleaning solution (for dry cleaning models), empty dust box
  • Monthly — Check filters and moving components

We provide comprehensive maintenance guides and video tutorials. Distributor partners receive technical training.

What is the power consumption?

Power consumption is very efficient:

  • Operational — 1100W-2100W (model-dependent)
  • Standby — Only 40W
  • Per cycle — About 0.14 kWh

Electricity cost is negligible compared to revenue per cycle — profit margins are excellent.

Can the machine clean items other than helmets?

Yes, while primarily designed for motorcycle and bicycle helmets, the spacious cleaning chamber effectively cleans:

  • Motorcycle gloves
  • Knee and elbow pads
  • Protective masks
  • Small fabric accessories

This flexibility adds value for racing circuits, motorcycle rentals, and riding communities.

What is the revenue potential of a helmet cleaning business?

Revenue potential varies by location and traffic, but generally:

  • High traffic locations — 20-50+ helmets per day x cleaning fee
  • Dual Chamber model — Double the throughput, double the potential revenue
  • Low operating costs — Minimal electricity, no staff required

Many of our global partners achieve breakeven in 6-12 months, depending on user volume and pricing strategy. The self-service passive income model is very attractive for gas station owners, store operators, and investors.
