Overview

Features

  • Non absorbent foam cleaning material reduces damage potential by not absorbing debris that may scratch vehicle surfaces
  • Minimal side pressure regulator adjustments are needed during the wash day as the material impingement remains constant due to non absorbent cleaning material
  • Stainless steel frame and side arm construction
  • Fluid manifold to provide lubrication and rinsing for cleaning material
  • Wet environment TEFC motor eliminates hydraulic drive system inefficiencies and leak potential on to vehicle and cleaning material
  • Direct drive system ensures low maintenance and reliable performance
  • Easy loading or replacement of foamed material

Overview

The WashTools 30" Electric Side Brushes provide excellent cleaning coverage to the lower section of vehicles.  The brushes use a closed cell foam  which is non absorbent material.  With proper rinsing, the possibility of foreign material such as sand from being lodged into the cleaning material and causing damage to vehicle surfaces is virtually eliminated.  These non absorbent qualities are also very helpful during the wash day as the weight of the brushes will not change during the wash day giving the side cleaners a set it and forget it process when it comes to setting the brush impingement into vehicle surfaces.  The 30" Electric Side Brush is built on a stainless steel ground mounted frame and the main mechanical components being located close to the floor giving the customers a friendly open bay wash experience.  The motor and gearbox are directly coupled to the drive hub and are shielded from the wash process by being housed under the arm of the side brush.
