Introduction to Tunnel Car Wash Systems
A tunnel car wash is an automated system with conveyor belts moving vehicles through cleaning stations. Tunnels typically range from 60-250 feet in length to accommodate quick and efficient washing of multiple cars simultaneously.
How Tunnel Car Wash Works
- The tunnel features large brushes that mechanically wash vehicle hoods.
- Sensors at the tunnel entrance detect cars to ensure safe passage.
- The conveyor belt controls the wash speed to maximize the number of cars washed and revenue generated.
- The typical cleaning sequence includes washing, foam spraying, washing with sponges, rinsing, and then drying.
Benefits of Tunnel Car Washes
- Tunnel car washes offer operators the benefits of efficiency, speed, and revenue generation.
- Staff can augment tunnel washes into full-service operations.
- Modular tunnel washers are capable of handling heavy commercial or fleet customer loads efficiently.
- AC tunnel washers are designed to clean, sanitize, and dry animal cages at a high rate of 750 per hour, integrating robotics for seamless handling.
