Allied Car Wash Service's (ACWS) "Next Gen" tire
dressing machine is a product that applies a
tire shine chemical to automotive tires which
results in a wet or glossy look. The unit is
built on a very sturdy Stainless Steel Frame
designed to resist corrosion & give many years
of service.
Industry Use
The tire
shine product is used in carwash tunnels as an
upgrade service, typically sold separately or
bundled with other upgrade services, for an
added charge.
ACWS's "Next Gen" Product Details
This new concept of applicator solves
some of the problems plaguing previous
designs with the following points:
Nozzles or small hole drilled manifolds
are problematic for plugging up
----Solutions is to use neither but to apply
with full wide open ports
Run off from brush coating the
tunnel exit & driveway
----------Solution is a VFD driven
tightly controlled hydraulic system,
backed by a surrounding specially groved
shell, to constantly agitate and
distribute chemical all over the bursh
thus not allowing to run off.
Uneven application
------------Solution is the
VFD/Hydraulic periodic agitation in
correlation with the brush surround
shell for unequaled even dstribution on
brush, thus on the car.
Cost per car -------------
Unsurpassed lowest cost per car due to
the above described chemical
manipulation resulting in virtually no
chemical loss.
The frame is the normal parallelogram brush
configuration as we have used in this industry
for many years. Ther are a few points that
should be discussed for maximum efficiency of
the Next Gen Unit.
Unit is designed to con on and off
all the
time even at night for unit to porperly
work. This function will
have negligible power consumption to
accomplish this.
Each side should have a spring check
valve in chemical line with 1 foot of
bulkhead connector of Unit (Both SIdes)
Recommend using 1/4 inch poly tubing to
connect the retract cylinders. The air flow
rate is more appropriate for the air
cylinders thus reducing the need for needle
valve flow controls (3/8 poly tubing is
larger than needed).
Unit should be checked periodically for
brush frame to be level (Floor
may not be level. Don't use floor for
measurements) Automotive
mishaps in tunnel can bend or shift unit &
create a unit that is not level. This can
happen without attendant knowing about
incident there for it makes good practice to
check preiodically.
Passenger sied retracted should have 72
inches from brush tips to inside conveyor
rail to allow adequate clearance for most
vehicles.
Recommend replacing the clear tubing ,
near bearings, at pivot points every 6
months to 1 year ( tubing tends to get hard
over time & this is the flexing point
working constantly during daily operations.
