The AVW mitter curtain is an essential piece of car wash equipment designed to deliver an exceptional, scratch-free clean to the top horizontal surfaces of vehicles. Built with high-grade stainless steel, this overhead cleaning solution features a unique basket motion that transfers motion directly from the top, simulating a gentle yet aggressive hand-washing action across hood, roof, and trunk lines.
As a crucial component of any modern car wash brush system and automated side top washers line, the car wash mitter curtain ensures complete vehicle coverage without complex, wear-prone internal components.
Engineered for maximum reliability and low operational overhead, the AVW mitter curtain utilizes a bearingless design paired with telescopic height adjustment to adapt seamlessly to various vehicle profiles.
Available in both electric (1.5 HP) and hydraulic motor configurations, as well as space-saving Mini and Double Mitter variants, this system integrates smoothly into existing tunnel setups or standalone frames. Equipped with high-durability cloth or EcoZite microfiber curtain options, it provides superior surface contact while maintaining minimal maintenance requirements.
