Automation Solutions for the Car Wash Industry
Water. Chemicals. Moving vehicles. Spinning brushes. Pumps, conveyors and blowers running wash after wash. Car washes aren't exactly an easy environment for automation equipment.
Whether you're upgrading an existing car wash or building a new one, we can help with the brains and muscle behind your wash. Everything from sensors and PLCs that know where the vehicle is to the VFDs and motors keeping conveyors, pumps, brushes and blowers moving.
.
Did you know that over 62,000 car wash locations wash around 8 million vehicles every day?
90% of car washes are owned by small business operators.
This industry is expected to grow at a steady 6% every year through 2030.

Car Wash Applications
Vehicle Detection & Positioning
Sensors detect vehicles as they enter and move through the wash, helping trigger equipment at the right time and keep the wash sequence moving.
Conveyor & Tunnel Control
Keep cars moving through the tunnel at the right speed and spacing. Controls coordinate conveyors, rollers, sensors, and other wash equipment so each vehicle moves smoothly through every stage.
Pumps & Water Control
Pumps and controls manage pressure, flow, and chemical delivery throughout the wash process.
Brushes, Wraps & Wash Equipment
Motors and drives power brushes, wraps, mitters (the overhead device with the hanging strips of cloth or felt), and other moving equipment while sensors help coordinate movement around each vehicle.
Dryers & Blowers
Send them out the other side without bringing half the wash water along. Motors and controls power blowers and dryers, while VFDs can provide better control over motor speed and operation.
Controls, Signaling & Operator Interface
Keep operators, and drivers, in the know. Controls systems coordinate the wash sequence while HMIs, lights, and signaling equipment communicate machine status and tell drivers whether to stop, go, or pull forward.
