From prewash
to air drying.
A conveyor connects each stage.
Prewash
Water loosens surface dirt.
Foam
Detergent prepares the vehicle for brushing.
Brush wash
Brush stages clean the body and wheels.
Rinse
Water rinses away detergent.
Water wax
Wax is applied in the configured program.
Drying
Dry brushes and fans complete the configured drying stage.
Look inside
the wash system.
Vehicle detection, brush contact and drying coordinate the conveyor washing stages.
Conveyor layout
Plan the conveyor approach, equipment sequence and service access together. Vehicle detection supports the programmed wash sequence.
Fan drying
Air-drying hardware follows the washing stages. The fan configuration sets the electrical load.
Equipment size
and site planning.
The installation reference is larger than the machine itself. Allow additional space for traffic and service access.

Answers about clearance, wash capacity and installation.
What is different about the Q14 tunnel car wash system?
Q14 is the published 14-brush system with wheel-cleaning and 3 dry brushes. Its equipment length is 17.5 m, with a 30 m installation reference. Compare the drying configuration and available space with Q9 or Q11.
How much installation space does Q14 need?
The equipment measures 17.5 × 4 × 3 m. The published installation reference is 30 × 4.5 × 3.2 m, excluding site circulation, queues and service facilities.
Does Q14 include dry brushes and air drying?
The published Q14 configuration includes 3 dry brushes and fan drying.
Can Q14 wash SUVs and pickups?
The listed vehicle range includes sedans, SUVs, MPVs and pickups within a maximum width of 2.3 m and height of 2.1 m. Check your largest vehicles and any roof equipment against the final clearance drawing.
Is 80–100 cars per hour a guaranteed result?
That is the published equipment throughput range. Actual vehicle flow depends on the wash program, configuration, vehicle spacing and site operation.
What should I send for a Q14 quotation?
Send the installation country, available site dimensions, vehicle range, planned wash volume and utilities. Include your preferred drying configuration.
