| 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 |
| ,
quoted is a 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 |
|
is a twenty foot long system with a combined 180
horsepower made up of 12 15 h.p. blower producers. This
system focuses air in one direction increasing the efficiency
of the units in cooperation with eachother. The system pushes
air down in an effort to extremely dry the important areas
such as windows and the hood and mirrors. The |
| 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.
