The promotion of automation in the conveyor field of the professional car wash industry has led to a more careful inspection of every device and every inch and every second of the cleaning process. For many people, doing more with less space and the labor demand to serve a growing customer base is the top priority. Leading manufacturers in the industry have been at the forefront of this research to improve washing results and customer satisfaction. 

Whether you are building your customer base, cleaning 60 or fewer cars per hour, or buzzing with throughput of 120 or more per hour, today's skilled builders and tunnel designers are using compatible But after finely adjusted equipment, these equipment can be adjusted to meet your personalized needs for car washing. In cooperation with well-known companies in the industry, the selection, installation and positioning of important equipment such as dryers will help reach new heights in automation and results, and this equipment will only get better and better over time.

What are the challenges currently facing drying equipment manufacturers when upgrading and enhancing their equipment? In addition, what is the demand for energy efficiency, integration, and noise reduction brackets in this product category? 

In this article, we have obtained answers to these questions and more questions from some industry-leading drying equipment manufacturers. 

In the past, the bane of car wash operators was the presence of water stains, water lines after washing, and water in areas that were difficult to reach by the vehicle (such as the side mirror housing) that was not removed. By carefully studying the cleaning process, engineers and chemists have improved the science of washing and drying vehicles to minimize and eliminate these problems. 

However, not all vehicles are created equal, and because automakers are keen to change their vehicle design, vehicle drying should not be considered a panacea. 

Cheryl Ehmen, CEO of Aerodry Systems LLC said: "Every new model year will invite new models [so] the dryer must adapt to various vehicle shapes and surfaces." 

In addition to the strategic layout, the number of blowers suitable for washing, and the proper horsepower, there are other factors that need to be considered to ensure an effective drying experience for all customers. 

“The type of washing, line speed, available space and power consumption are the factors that determine the best system,” Ehmen continued. "Drying is done in stages, and for this, the correct placement of the components is critical. Determining the best system will go a long way in providing synergy throughout the washing process (including drying) and will help achieve maximum uptime And profit." 

Skilled technicians will help the operator to set up the dryer to get the best results. The dryer settings require attention to detail to protect the equipment and maximize performance. A science must include understanding the airflow in the tunnel. 

"It must be installed correctly," said Arthur Stephens, President/CEO of International Drying Corp. The proper distance from the arch of the applicator can also protect the [dryer] from mist to a certain extent. "

Experts say that once installed correctly, except for general cleaning, the dryer requires almost no daily maintenance. The operator should regularly check the intake areas and make sure they are free of debris. Ehmen's regular inspection list also includes regular inspections of electrical connections and flushing the outside of the dryer, because appearance is important. 

"If the facility and its equipment are outdated, customers will think it is impossible to provide high standards of service. A car (whether you are in it or not) disappears into the dim light of the disgusting tunnel, and then believes it will sparkle [dry ], this is really disturbing," Ehmen commented. 

As with any professional equipment, the manufacturer recommends some preventive maintenance to extend the life of the dryer. Downtime is not the ideal time to purchase and purchase replacement parts, because this is when they are needed most. Costs and losses will increase rapidly, so preventive maintenance recommended by the manufacturer is also required.

"For example, if your car wash is off for a day, your car count is 150 cars per hour, and each wash is $15, then within 10 hours this is equivalent to a loss of at least $22,500 per day in income. This does not include replacements The cost of malfunctioning components," said Jeff Reichard, President of Proto-Vest Inc., calculated.

When asked about the latest developments in dryer manufacturing, solving the noise problem is the joint answer of the three experts we interviewed for this article. Noise is also a common concern for residents in many areas across the country that are close to car washes or where the town is considering building new car washes. 

Certain companies, such as car wash shops and auto repair shops, generate a certain level of noise throughout the day during their operations. Some areas of the country, including California, are paying great attention to this issue, setting a low standard for commercial noise, and many people believe that other areas will follow or are currently following it. Moreover, although the sound output of the car wash is not entirely attributable to the dryer, the manufacturer of the equipment is doing its part to provide a solution. 

"Many people think that California's noise control requirements have begun to become the standard for all states. As you know, this is an extremely difficult requirement because the normal voice of conversation is between 61 and 73 decibels. You must ensure your future baking Dryers and other car washing equipment meet the highest standards. If requirements change retrospectively, the cost of retrofitting them is much higher," Reichard warned. 

In order to reduce noise, manufacturers are also guided on the path of progress to reduce energy consumption and provide green drying solutions. Tunnel controllers using variable frequency drives can be used with dryers to maximize output while reducing energy dependence. In addition, some manufacturers are including features such as doors on devices to improve energy efficiency. 

Stephens explained how his company focused on developing the latest cutting-edge ambient air technology, which combines an ultra-quiet drying system with maximum air power and volume, while focusing on a green strategy of using less energy and designing sustainable products. 

"As we design and use improved fan design and motor configuration to provide more volume with less energy, there is more to come. Stay tuned," Stephens joked. 

Although there is a constant demand for quieter and more sustainable voices, the demand for performance is a requirement. For many new or renovated operators, the dryer may be regarded as a secondary decision. After all, this is the last step of the process, and all dryers perform the same, right? Incomplete. 

Especially because it is the last step of the washing process, it is very important to invest in this equipment. Although the blower may not be the decisive factor in the customer's decision to go to the car wash, the poor drying experience will be the main reason why he or she may not visit again. 

One problem area when using a blower to dry a vehicle is usually the rear of the vehicle. This includes “the area under the spoiler or wing that prevents air from blowing out of the rear windows of vehicles such as trucks and SUVs,” Stephens pointed out.  

The goal of the dryer should be to direct the water under the vehicle, not to the rear. Reichard pointed out that in addition to shortening the manufacturing lead time and generating more air volume with less horsepower, which can save 15% to 50% of the electricity compared with the old equipment, the ability of today's leading drying equipment to "true" dry the rear of the vehicle is one of them. The latest and most exciting development in this category. 

“We all know that the inability to dry the rear of the vehicle has been an ongoing problem for many years. This causes major customer dissatisfaction and the extra labor required to dry the vehicle by hand is costly,” Reichard explained, noting that every year The cost may be as high as $218,000. "Finally, this nemesis now has an effective solution. Instead of putting 12 or 15 horsepower motors (180 horsepower) on the turntable, the industry can now choose to dry the vehicle with half the horsepower while achieving a dry rear end. These proven options significantly save labor and cut the energy cost of drying by half, resulting in a return on investment in less than a year."

Immersed in performance elements, including pop-up signs, glowing LEDs, and lava-like foam and flow of chemical applications, operators may tend to let the party continue until the end of the cleaning process. Ehmen and others in the know suggest otherwise. Today's blowers can wow customers with performance, rather than gorgeous performance elements. 

"Choose simple, reliable components rather than complex and flashy," Ehmen asserts. "It seems difficult to keep it simple, and humans have a natural tendency to drift towards complexity. But remember that more difficult to understand designs will lead to forced shutdowns and expensive replacements. This is an expensive way to operate. Operate wisely. Will control costs and increase revenue." 

Reputable manufacturers will install enclosed high-efficiency motors. They are designed to withstand the car wash environment. Although this device is simple and straightforward and may be considered unpretentious in design, there are many colors and styles to choose from on the market to match most washing brands and the desired experience.

Similarly, interested buyers should not ignore the importance of the dryer based on its location during the washing process or its lower price tag compared to other tunnel-related equipment. For example, the cost of a point-of-sale or vacuum system and the potential benefits of marketing and customer retention from this equipment may divert the attention of new operators from other equipment such as dryers. 

"We tend to forget that the biggest complaint our industry receives is still,'My car is still wet,'" Stephens reminded. “We have also forgotten the costs involved in operating, maintaining, or oversized systems that are classified as car wash areas due to noise. In an industry where US$5 million facilities are now the norm and not the exception, it is not only necessary to fine-tune the drying system, but also To solve these problems on the front-end to maximize operating profit and long-term sustainability, this is critical. When you are funding a 30-year investment, I think you also need to make sure that the equipment you use is in It still exists when you pay off the bill." 

He added that the key and huge difference in long-term failure or success lies in finding the right partner to help you plan your equipment package.

Manufacturers point out that they are committed to providing more sustainable solutions to meet the industry's high-performance standards. Looking to the future, they will continue to improve equipment to reach new low standards in terms of noise, energy consumption and space requirements, while reaching new high benchmarks in terms of performance, savings and customer satisfaction. What else can operators expect from today's research and development work? 

"One area that manufacturers should explore is the application of artificial intelligence. We are currently reviewing our main dryers for this application and have found that it is beneficial to know in advance the conditions that may cause problems in many ways. Vibration, motor bearing failure, sensors , Pressure drop, impeller balance, etc. This is only a small part of all possibilities," Reichard said. 

Using these analytical data, operators will be able to identify areas of concern in real time and implement solutions and repairs as needed. Better drying equipment has provided a more consistent, higher-quality final product for car washes. Smarter dryers will in turn produce smarter operators with a deeper understanding of their equipment. 

As we wait for these and other advancements to leave the factory and be within reach, the high-end drying strategy has remained unchanged for decades. By cooperating with reputable companies, understand your washing needs and invest wisely to achieve success. At this stage of the washing process, you cannot blow it.
