Car Wash Equipment

Car wash equipment falls into two distinct categories – DIY for the domestic owner who wants to wash his car at home, and commercial, which are the car washes of the kind that you drive your car through. KÄRCHER caters for both of these end users in the car wash equipment that it manufactures and markets. For the DIY car washer there are a number of different high pressure washers in the range, and all of these have been designed so that they can be used for washing cars, amongst other things. These can be used for almost any outdoor soiled surfaces, such as garden furniture and tools, walls, cars, motorbikes, patios and so on. Commercial car wash equipment brings us into the realms of the drive through car wash as well as still more high pressure cleaners, using both hot and cold water, designed to be used on a more commercial or industrial basis. The drive through car wash are usually operated by conveyor belts, and the cars go through different stages of cleaning, like rinsing, soaping, waxing and drying, at particular points in the conveyor. The use of high-pressure equipment is the key to a speedy and effective car wash. It’s very important that high-pressure detergent and water spray clean every inch of the car. A tunnel system ensures that the car progresses smoothly through the car wash systems in the bay. The conveyor runs through the tunnel system, and sprayers and under body washers, top and side brushes, rinsers and driers are fitted at different points. The car on the conveyor is cleaned step by step as it progresses through the wash bay.
