Your questions.
Equipment, site space and quotation planning.
How does a tunnel car wash machine work?
A conveyor moves vehicles through a sequence of washing stages. Depending on the configuration, these include prewash, foam, brush cleaning, rinsing, wax application and drying. Vehicle spacing and the wash program affect the operating flow.
How much space does a tunnel car wash need?
The published installation lengths for Q9, Q11 and Q14 are 24 m, 27 m and 30 m respectively. These are equipment installation references, not total site areas. Allow additional space for queues, access, turning, plant equipment and local requirements. Request a layout for your selected model before building.
How should I choose between Q9, Q11 and Q14?
Compare your available installation length, expected vehicle flow and preferred cleaning and drying stages. Q9 uses 9 brushes, Q11 adds wheel brushes in an 11-brush configuration, and Q14 includes 14 brushes with additional drying stages. Your site plan decides which one fits.
Can the conveyor tunnel be customized?
A customized system can be planned around site dimensions, washing stages and operating requirements. The illustrated configuration has 18 brushes and a dual conveyor. The project proposal gives its final layout, capacity and equipment.
What information is needed for a tunnel quotation?
Send the installation country, usable site dimensions, vehicle range, target wash volume and preferred model. Add water, drainage and electrical supply details if available.
