High-Speed Cleaning Solutions: The Efficiency of Automatic Car Wash Machines
The Evolution of Car Washing Technology
In this day and age of automated car washes, most car owners would find it difficult to believe that there was once a time when cars were washed manually, either by the owners themselves, or by paying someone to do it for them. Today, automation has pervaded our lives in every possible sphere, and things happen in the blink of an eye, but there was a time when car owners had to set aside a dedicated day and time, usually on weekends, when they went through the whole rigmarole of hosing down their cars, applying washing soap, and using a rag to painstakingly dry and shine their cars.
As more people acquired cars, and had less time to devote to cleaning their cars, their prayers were answered in the form of automatic car wash systems. Initially, these systems were only a slight improvement on the traditional method, as they still relied heavily on human effort.
The first true breakthrough came with the innovation of the conveyer belt system, in which the car could move automatically between different stages of the cleaning process. The next revolutionary innovation came in the form of touchless car wash machine systems that significantly improved the cleaning process, and equally importantly, the total turnaround time for cleaning every car. Over time, with rapid improvements in technology, high intelligent automatic car wash systems have emerged as lean, mean vehicle cleaning systems that provide fast, safe, cost-effective, and highly thorough washing services at the mere touch on a LCD screen.
Understanding Automatic Car Wash Systems
A modern touchless car wash machine system involves a sophisticated set-up where car owners can drive their vehicles right up to the car wash, select their preferred service package, which can range from self-service to basic, express, or full-service. They drive their car into the car wash tunnel or bay, from where the fully automated system takes over. Advanced 3D technology using lasers are deployed to map the size, shape and contours of the car, followed by high-pressure car washers through focused jets of water that are sprayed at precise angles to cover every inch of the car’s surface. An automatically premixed washing agent in the right ratio of water to agent is sprayed on the car, which is then washed and buffed with automated rollers, leaving the car clean, dry, and shining, with no trace of soap or water stains. The whole exercise takes mere minutes, and then onto the next one. Depending on the type of car wash mechanism–which mostly depends on the available space–the car may be stationary for the whole procedure, or may move through a conveyor system for each stage of the process.
Choosing the Right Automatic Car Washer System
While this may seem like a no-brainer, not all highly efficient, low price automatic car wash systems are built alike. Crucial factors such as location, parking space, waiting area, and quality of customer service play a major role in choosing the appropriate automatic car wash. In addition, customers should also be aware of the technology being deployed as it can be a make or break selection factor. Certain cars may require extra care to ensure that the surface is not scratched or expensive paintwork damaged by the use of inferior quality, or incorrectly mixed washing agents or abrasive dryers. For the environmentally conscious, they should check the water usage patterns, recycling mechanism, and eco-friendliness of washing agents before making a decision. Finally, in a battle among equals, check the value-added services provided by the car wash, which could be complimentary detailing, waxing, discounts, and other freebies.
High-Speed vs. Traditional Car Washing
Traditional car washes suffer from a number of deficiencies that modern high intelligent automatic car wash systems have long since eliminated. They are typically much slower owing to the manual nature of the process. High-speed car washes have a much faster turnaround time. They are highly water-inefficient, using large amounts of water, while an automatic machine wash system not only use high-speed jets, but also make use of recycled and treated water. They are labor-intensive, resulting in higher employment and employee training costs. Automatic car wash equipment, on the other hand, use minimal human intervention, delivering a faster, more optimized and more precise and thorough car washing experience.
Benefits of High-Speed Cleaning for Car Owners
For modern car owners, time is money. They need to have their cars washed as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Many of them are office-goers, who prefer to use their weekends for more pleasant past-times than sitting around at a car wash. Automatic high-speed car washes offer car owners the facility to have their cars cleaned during their daily work week. Car owners also get peace of mind from the knowledge that their cars are in safe in the robotic hands of automatic car washes, and they can expect the same levels of service every time. For those worried about the size of their ecological footprint, automatic car washes come as a breath of fresh air. Through their judicious use of fresh and reclaimed water, eco-friendly cleaning agents, and energy efficient processes, automatic car wash equipment ensure lower levels of carbon emissions and groundwater pollution.
Conclusion
It is said that knowledge is empowerment. This is particularly true when it comes to choosing the perfect automatic car wash for your precious car. The more you learn how they work, the better position you are in to make the right choice. It is very important to talk to your local automatic car wash owners to find out more about their processes, techniques, and technology. Go through online reviews and social media platforms to find out user opinions. This may seem a bit long-winded, but consider the benefits for your expensive car before arriving at a decision.
