| Intro |
| This
quote is the components broken down that make up a standard
Tommy package. There is very little veriance in different
wash packages. For the most part they have the same major
components and is more of the "flare" that can impact
your price. To start out here, the |
| Transporter
Module |
| Our steel conveyor, basically our only steel component
we offer. This is an over under system with 3'6" roller
spacing rather then the alternative 6'6" which is not
preferable in an express type scenario. The 60' base item
includes the hydraulic power pack that drives the conveyor.
Hydraulics is the preferred form of power for driving a conveyor
due to electrical safety when dealing with pit water. You
can manipulate the next line to add length to your tunnel
with 10' additional sections of conveyor. The correlator is
the component that aligns the tire / car to the conveyor track.
Pit grating is a figerglass type product that is easy to maintain,
drains well, and is stong enough to hold a car in emergencies.
The |
| Entrance Module |
| is a system that is used in express car washes to allow customers
to load themselves onto the conveyor by themselves with no
employee. This includes a visual barrier for the customer
which is very important to this process, also a mirror and
signage. Self loading requires this module and about 1 year
of strict procedure with actually training your customers.
The |
| Presoak
Module |
| includes a really great product that extremely improves the
cleaning of hard to reach places. This arch applies chemical
to front bumpers, windshields, back windows, and back bumpers,
and wheels and tires, all at different chemical dilution ratios.
This allows you to hit bugs, or backends, depending on the
current season at different dillutions while not wasting chemical
on other surfaces of the car. There is a lot behind this product
and it highly impacts the proper cleaning of a car. The , |
| Multi-washer
module |
| otherwise
know as wrap mitter combo system is the primary cleaning tool
for the friction part of the wash. This system cleans fronts,
backs twice, both sides and the mitter covers the rest. A
normal system will use two of these units and also lower rocker
panel brushes for the extra road film areas. The |
| Triple
Coat |
| Arch
is simply a for show foaming arch that dispenses three different
colors of shine product. This is really a place to spark some
life so when dealing in an express wash we highly recommend
using the sign panel and led light upgrades. The led light
strips and sign panels can be added to most of the arches
in the tunnel depending on how much flare you want your wash
to have. These really make your equipment stand out and wow
the customer. The |
| Side
Washer Module |
| is the final friction section of the wash process. This includes
a contour brush with mitter combo unit. The contour brush
is a split brush that allows you to adjust angle and pressure
seperately on the top half and bottom half of a side brush
therefore contouring to the shape of a common car or suv.
Picture this a a parenthasis shape brush hugging the car.
The following wheel blaster is a unit that high pressure blasts
the wheels. The |
| Final Application Module |
| starts with an all-in-one high pressure arch. This
runs on 2x 30 gallon per minute pump stations, blasting and
rinsing the car with a top oscilator, side blast, and 4 stage
fixed rocker blaster. Next is a Rain X application for recommended
$3 added revenue. The protect, and drying agent are then applied
to start the chemical drying process, then final rinse, or
reverse osmosis water if required. After the rinse is the
tire dressing applicator which is a touchless unit virtually
maintenance free. This is the absolute best and easiest upsell
item due to the extreme noticable difference this service
makes. Costs around $.85 per car and sells for recommended
$3. The |
| Blower
Module |
| consists of multiple direct mount blower arches that allow you to locate your producers in perfect formation around the car which only Tommy's can do with our patented round arches. This system
focuses air in one direction increasing the efficiency of
the units in cooperation with eachother. The system pushes
air back like a blade with effort to extremely dry the important areas
such as windows and the hood and mirrors. |
| Support
Equipment |
| is
for the most part the products that are required to run the
products above. Starting out the bay cleaning station is a
high pressure pump with a gun that can be used for prepping
and primarily for cleaning the equipment. The 5 bank hydraulics
power the wash equipment and brushes. The double stack is
for the high pressure arch. Keep in mind all of this is stainless
steel. The single hp pump is for the following wheel blaster.
Rain X pumping station and the following pump panels are for
dispensing the soap products to the car wash equipment and
arches in the tunnel. These are all also on stainless mounts.
The air compressor is used for supplying air to the cylinders,
and foamers in the system. We use 2 air compressors to create
the needed pressure and flow rates, also a backup for emergencies.
The wate softener is needed in some areas but depends on your
water quality. You will need to test your water for hardness
and also for t.d.s or total disolved solids so we can determine
if you need the water softener and revers osmosis systems.
The water heater is a 1.336 million btu boiler with cirulating
pump and storage tank. Many people don't think this is needed
but is a requirement for any car wash in any geographic area.
A car cannot properly be washed with cold water and you would
exceed the cost of a water heater trying to mix extra chemicals
in cold water rather than doing it properly. Very comparable
to washing your hands or doing laundry in cold water. The
ladder rack system is a chase system for all the stainless
tubing that plumbs your hydraulics and chemicals. The ladder
rack usually runs from the presoak through the last rinse
arch. The |
| Wash
Controller |
| is a piece of equipment that turns on and off you components
at the proper times. Also done on the larger scale by the
motor control center for the large motors. The Premium controller
is an upgraded controller option above and beyond a basic
wash controller. The premium controller offers you the capability
to dial into your wash controller from any location online.
This controller is also monitored from the Tommy headquarters
for reporting critical information to you. We can feed you
data that would normally require more man hours. We can calculate
live cost per car figures. System faults or potential problems.
Automatic chemical reordering, marketing recommendations based
on current sales and pricing structure, live chemical levels,
and much more. This system is only available on the drum pump
over program. The electric control kit is the entrance eyes
for the wash, start and stop buttons, and a warning horn.
The anti-collision is an item that goes in the concrete at
the end of the wash as an emergency shut down if someone has
a problem getting their car back in gear or for any reason
stops. The dual ICS auto sentry is a point of sale system
that collects the money from the customer, accepts credit
card, stages the customers using gates, and programs the wash
into the premium controller. |

Feature
and Benefit: Hydraulic Systems
We have perfected
the hydraulic design using a cost effective construction method
that is also built of stainless steel. This system houses the
components inside the resivoir tank so you can easily access
your oil, check levels, make adjustments, and monitor the system
simply by opening the lid. |

Feature
and Benefit: Brush Design
Our brushes have
evolved through the years to be very customer friendly. No motors
shown in view of the customers window, or anything other than
cloth for that matter. The brushes are made thicker so that
no core shows through the brush therefore leaving no doubt in
the customers mind that their car is being protected. |

Feature
and Benefit: Installation Components
Installations
come in many forms. There are some options when it comes to
tubing attachments. Tommy's has designed a clamping system to
secure the tubing without using unistrut which many times has
sharp edges that tear clothing or jackets. |

Feature
and Benefit: Service Indicator Lights
Historically service
indication lights have been hard to read. Soapy cars hide parts
of the text through the car window and the message is not relayed
to the customer. That's why Tommy's designed the round service
indicator light. The stainless steel protected light displays
the full text directly to the customer with a very bright direct
light. |

Feature
and Benefit: Collision Sensor
The collision
loop at the exit of the tunnel senses the vehicle as it leaves
the wash. There are many unclean ways to do this. Tommy's uses
a very cost effective method housed within the wash building
rather than outside. The sensor is placed completely under the
concrete or asphalt so that it is hidden from site. |

Feature
and Benefit: Compact Motor Starters
Motor starters
can clutter a backroom and take up a lot of space. Tommy's uses
compact starters that are housed inside your wash controller
in the same enclosure. This saves space and makes them very
easy to manage. Different size starters can be swapped out very
easily if you add or change components. |
