Optimizing Spray Operations in Car Washing

Save Water. Save Chemicals. Save Customers.

Car Washing
Spray nozzles may seems like a small component in a car wash operation — self-service, conveyor or inbay automatic. But, these small components can have a huge impact on your profitability. Using the wrong nozzles or worn nozzles can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars annually:

  • A poor quality wash can result in lost customers
  • Excessive downtime and increased labor costs can result when nozzles don’t perform properly
  • Operating costs can escalate from spraying more water and chemicals necessary to do the job
  • Pump wear and increased energy bills can result as pumping equipment operates at higher levels to keep up with increased flow rates or pressure losses

Optimizing your spray system and nozzle performance can help you avoid these problems and provide additional savings opportunities.

Full Range of Product Solutions for All Types of Car Washes and All Types of Operations

Flow rate, pressure drop, spray pattern, material hardness, spray impact, and drop size are important factors to consider when selecting the proper spray equipment for a car wash system. It is also important to be sure you are using the correct nozzle for the job at hand be it presoak, wash, rinse, or wax. That’s why it is important to choose a supplier with both a broad product range and the the technical experience to help with spray nozzle selection and system optimization. Spraying Systems Co. satisfies both of those requirements with hundreds of products and 70 years of experience solving spray problems.
