Twin Spray Arches

Located at each end of the wash bay is a spray arch, the first is the detergent application and the second is a high-pressure clean water rinse off. The main arch is supported by a folded steel column, mounted on a 600 x 300 base plates to ensure safe and secure installation. The spray pipe work is in three sections; two side sections and a one piece cross top section. Pipe work is formed in heavy gauge steel with flanged ends and secured by plated steel fixings. The detergent arch pipe work is made from 1.5" steel tube and the rinse arch pipe work is 2". The height of the arches can be made to the customers requirement and would be reccommended to suit the tallest vehicle in you fleet. The arches are fitted with ¼” bsp jet bosses which are welded every 220mm to each side, with 450mm spacing across the top. All steel work is shot blasted then hot dipped galvanised to ensure a long and rust free life. All concrete fixings are supplied and set by the Archway installation team to ensure quality control.

Brushes

Fitted between these arches are twin rotating brushes, one each side of the wash bay. These are supported by an independent steel framework and are fitted with top and bottom bearings, rubber cushioned drive couplings, reduction gearbox and drive motor. The brushes rotate counter to the direction of travel of the vehicle and are activated by pneumatic pistons, which hold the brushes in contact with the vehicle. Spray from the rotating brushes is contained by reinforced PVC Polyester sheeting which in addition keeps personnel away from the rotating brushes.
