Overview

Features

  • Total Cubic Feet Per Minute (CFM) of air exceeds 45,650! Almost double the volume of competitive 90 horsepower systems.
  • Seven overhead-mounted assembly and four side mounted assemblies: removes water from the tops and sides of vehicles with air moving at 130+ miles per hour
  • Multiple axis "freedom" design: allows blowers to be raised and lowered, tilted and rotated, slid right and left- to deliver the best custom flow for your operation
  • High-performance aluminum blower wheel: moves 4,150 cubic feet of air per minute (tested in AMCA accredited lab)
  • Reliable 7.5 HP, TEFC motor: delivers electrical savings and efficiency
  • Smooth startup and lower power requirements: remove the need for expensive VFD controls
  • Simple, strong and long-lasting aluminum structure
  • Corrosion-resistant molded plastic housings with color throughout
  • Simple installation, hookup and operation

Overview

The WashTools blower systems have been proven in extreme car wash environments for years. It all begins with a high-performance blower wheel that is coupled to an engineering-matched, high-efficiency motor. This combination generates an air flow comparable to units using twice the horsepower and electricity. The custom-designed plastic housings direct the air to the vehicle surface with a minimum loss of velocity. All important air flow angles and spacings are easily field-adjusted to best fit your operation.

The full range of blower system models can be mixed and matched to provide progressive drying solutions for longer, high- throughput tunnel operations.
