Target lower vehicle surfaces and rocker panels with the precision cleaning action of the AVW side contour washer. Designed to dynamically adapt to varying vehicle silhouettes, this advanced contour car wash brush provides thorough side coverage, removing stubborn road grime, salt, and dirt buildup where standard brushes miss.
Constructed from heavy-duty stainless steel, the unit features adjustable height and angular positions alongside vertical offsetting capability. Utilizing opposing top and bottom rotations, the dynamic brush system safely hugs every curve, delivering ideal contact pressure without causing surface friction issues or vehicle damage.
Built to withstand high-volume operations, this automatic side brush integrates seamlessly into existing tunnel car wash equipment arrays. The assembly supports both hydraulic and electric motor drives, allowing tunnel operators to match their specific utility preferences.
With variable rotation speeds optimized for cloth (70 RPM) or Neoglide (80 RPM) media, the system maintains balanced contact across rocker panels and wheels. Gas shock pressure mechanisms assist smooth contour adjustments, while optional wetting manifolds provide continuous lubrication to eliminate streaking and maximize washing performance across various conveyor setups.
