Car Wash Arches & Applicators
Maximizing the efficiency of chemical applications and rinsing cycles requires structural delivery systems that distribute water and foam chemistry uniformly across every vehicle surface. Other overhead arrays often lead to overspray or uneven product delivery, which drastically increases operational chemical waste and lowers the overall wash quality.
AVW’s modular car wash arches isolate each stage of the tunnel, providing steady pressure and exact volumetric control to guarantee that soaps, sealants, and conditioners blanket the vehicle. Installing this heavy-duty tunnel car wash equipment creates a highly dependable foundation for friction and rinsing stages, boosting performance while keeping costs under control.
Premium Car Wash Arches & Chemical Applicators
The catalog below showcases an array of specialized components built to handle anything from targeted wheel cleaning to total vehicle foaming. For intense foam generation, operators can implement a high-volume car wash foamer or a dedicated foam applicator setup to deliver thick, clinging suds. Lower zones are thoroughly treated using a heavy-duty chemical tire applicator, a powerful undercarriage washer, or targeted Wheel Brite Applicator.

Frequently Asked Questions
AVW offers 30-inch and 42-inch Dual Belt Conveyors for tunnel applications, along with the 12-foot (144-inch) Express Detail Belt for interior cleaning, hand washing, and finishing. We also offer heavy-duty three-track roller conveyors for traditional conveyor applications.
The vehicle loads onto a continuous moving belt that carries it through the tunnel at a controlled speed. On AVW’s 30-inch and 42-inch Dual Belt Conveyors, all four tires are supported by the belt surface for simple loading and consistent vehicle transport.
A roller conveyor pushes the vehicle by its tire along a track. A belt conveyor carries the vehicle on the belt surface. Belt conveyors have fewer moving parts: no rollers, trap doors or roller-up fork. Dual belt models also accept a wider range of vehicles.
A correlator lines up the vehicle’s tire with the conveyor track at the entrance. It’s used with roller conveyors, and we offer roller correlators as part of our lineup. Belt conveyors carry the vehicle on the belt itself, so they don’t need a correlator.
In many cases, yes. Retrofit requirements depend on the existing pit, tunnel dimensions, utilities, and selected conveyor configuration. Contact AVW or an authorized distributor to evaluate the site.
AVW’s 12-foot (144-inch) Express Detail Belt is designed for interior cleaning, hand washing, and finishing after the tunnel. Its full-width moving surface carries the vehicle and employees together, creating a steady workflow without requiring employees to drive customer vehicles between stations.
Dual 30″ and 42″ belt conveyors are designed to place fewer restrictions on the type of vehicle being washed. Contact our team to confirm compatibility with specific vehicles, such as dually trucks.
Belt conveyors have fewer moving parts than roller systems, which means fewer components to service. Our roller conveyors are built for low maintenance too, with greaseless bearings, direct drive hydraulics with no gearbox, and air take-up for constant chain tension.
The price depends on the conveyor type, length, belt width and installation requirements. Contact us for a quote tailored to your tunnel.
