Pivoting Spray Arch

Reaching hard-to-clean vehicle contours, especially flat front grills and vertical rear tailgates, requires targeted water force that static arches simply cannot deliver. The AVW pivoting spray arch is engineered to articulate dynamically as vehicles pass through, aiming high-pressure spray directly at front and rear surfaces for complete, uniform coverage.

By combining targeted motion with high-volume spray capabilities, this essential tunnel car wash equipment eliminates stubborn bug residue, road film, and dirt buildup that traditional stationary manifolds miss.

Dynamic Coverage & Low-Maintenance Engineering

Operating seamlessly as both a primary high pressure car wash arch and an effective high-water-volume prep arch, this system maximizes cleaning efficiency across every pass. Designed with an advanced bearingless mechanism, this pivoting car wash arch dramatically reduces mechanical wear points, ensuring smooth, continuous rotation without the frequent downtime associated with traditional greased bearings or complex pivot joints.

Built entirely from industrial-grade stainless steel to resist harsh tunnel moisture and chemicals, the unit features a generous 120″ width clearance and 96″ adjustable height to accommodate everything from compact sedans to oversized commercial trucks.

Car Wash Arch Systems

Efficient chemical delivery and thorough rinsing are the foundation of any high-performing wash tunnel. The AVW car wash arch is engineered to provide precise, uniform fluid application across every contour of a vehicle.

Built entirely from heavy-gauge stainless steel, these rigid frameworks withstand constant water exposure and high-pressure operations without corroding or deteriorating over time. Designed for maximum versatility, each car wash spray arch can be customized with single or multi-manifold setups to handle everything from pre-soak applications to final shine protectants.

Modular Arch Configurations Built for Operational Flexibility

No two wash tunnels have the same spatial footprint or processing requirements. To accommodate different layout constraints, AVW car wash arch systems are available in multiple structural geometries—including square, penta, and octasquare designs—along with adjustable heights and widths. These arches integrate directly with both standard chain-and-roller conveyors and dual-belt systems.

Whether equipped with high-density car wash foamer units for visual soap cascades or configured as a powerful high pressure rinse arch for strip-free cleaning, AVW arches give operators complete control over chemical distribution and utility consumption.

Chemical Tire Applicator

Delivering precise coverage of tire chemicals is a key factor in producing bright whitewalls and thoroughly cleaned wheels. The AVW chemical tire applicator applies targeted soaps, degreasers, and cleaning agents directly onto tire surfaces before vehicle entry into primary wash zones.

Built with heavy-duty stainless steel applicator stands, this specialized tire equipment delivers continuous, uniform chemical delivery without succumbing to harsh tunnel environments or corrosive chemistry.

Advanced Dosing & Automated Control

Designed to maximize chemical efficiency while reducing operational waste, this tire applicator incorporates a dedicated stainless steel chemical injection pump panel for consistent line pressure and volume control.

Tunnel operators can seamlessly connect the applicator to either computer-automated sequencing or a traditional treadle control trigger to ensure exact activation timing as each vehicle passes. By automating accurate application, the system helps car wash facilities improve throughput while maintaining high visual cleaning standards.

Shower Manifold

Efficient chemical flushing and soap rinsing are critical milestones in any commercial tunnel process, directly impacting final vehicle shine and drying efficiency. The AVW shower manifold delivers a uniform, high-volume cascade of water across top and side vehicle surfaces to strip away detergents, waxes, and remaining road debris.

Engineered specifically for high-demand wash tunnels, this component functions as an integral car wash rinse arch element that helps prevent soap carryover into the drying bay, protecting blowers and leaving finish surfaces streak-free.

Stainless Steel Construction & Custom Hole Row Configurations

Fabricated from durable 1.5″ x 1.5″ square stainless steel tubing, this robust manifold shower assembly resists corrosion from aggressive wash chemicals and continuous water exposure. To match diverse tunnel water delivery setups and conveyor line speeds, operators can choose from single, dual, or triple rows of precision-drilled spray orifices.

Whether deployed as a dedicated high pressure rinse module or integrated into a comprehensive shower manifold kit upgrade, the system provides a clean, low-maintenance spray pattern that maximizes fluid distribution across every passing profile.
