CAR WASH TUNNELS
ISTOBAL car wash tunnels deliver advanced vehicle cleaning solutions, combining innovation, efficiency and profitability. Engineered to maximize throughput and adapt to different spaces and needs, these conveyor systems guarantee a fast, safe, high-quality wash experience.
Efficiency and adaptability
From compact layouts to high-capacity installations, ISTOBAL car wash tunnels let you optimize space without sacrificing performance. Different wash and dry module options are available, allowing customization based on your business demand. With lengths from 41 to 164 ft (12.5 to 50 m), these systems adapt to any type of site.
Advanced technology
The use of latest-generation technology guarantees a precise, efficient wash. Equipment like the T'WASH PRO features smart control systems with a touchscreen and optimized software, achieving perfect synchronization between vehicle conveyance and the wash and dry phases. The modular design also lets you add options such as rinse arches, independent vertical brushes, high-pressure prewash systems, wheel wash, flat conveyor belt and frequency inverters.
Speed and productivity
ISTOBAL car wash tunnels are designed to maximize output without compromising quality. Models like the T'WASH PRO can wash up to 40–80 cars per hour, and thanks to its conveyor system, the flow of vehicles is constant and efficient.
Sustainability and savings
Energy efficiency and reduced water consumption are core pillars of ISTOBAL car wash tunnels. They incorporate water recycling systems and low-consumption technology, minimizing environmental impact and lowering operating costs. Options like the Infinite Mousse system improve the user experience while using fewer chemical products.
Quality and safety
ISTOBAL car wash tunnels guarantee an impeccable finish with double-scrub systems, mirror detection and EVA-technology brushes that extend equipment life and optimize the wash without damaging the bodywork. They also feature advanced safety measures such as entry and exit photoelectric barriers, anti-entrapment protections and brush pressure control. With a track record of over 75 years in the industry, ISTOBAL keeps innovating to deliver efficient, sustainable and profitable car wash tunnel solutions. See how these technologies can transform your business and optimize every wash with maximum quality and safety.
What throughput capacities do these car wash tunnels offer?
The T'WASH PRO offers a capacity of 40–60 cars per hour with the three-brush module and up to 80 cars per hour with the five-brush module.
What customization options are available?
The T'WASH PRO supports multiple modules such as prewash, underbody wash, active foam, waxing, different brush types and high-efficiency drying systems.
How do they ensure efficient water and energy consumption?
By incorporating frequency inverters in the tunnel's drying modules, ISTOBAL achieves an average reduction of 30% in electricity consumption. This translates into significant savings in the facility's operating costs and a substantial environmental improvement, cutting CO2 emissions by 30%. For a tunnel with a top drying-motor power of 2x7.5 kW and a side power of 2x7.5 kW, assuming a total power of 30 kW in its drying motors, at an average energy cost of €0.25/kWh, savings of up to €7,100 per unit per year could be achieved, with a reduction of up to 17.95 tonnes of CO2 per year. The Siemens frequency inverters integrated into the drying make the drying motors run at a lower speed when no vehicle is detected in the drying zone. This means significant savings in the facility's electricity consumption, as well as reduced noise and the resulting decrease in noise pollution.
What technology do they include to improve the user experience and safety?
The T'WASH PRO has a touchscreen for intuitive control and stands out for its advanced connectivity, enabling remote monitoring and real-time telemetry reports. In terms of safety, it includes systems such as entry and exit photoelectric barriers, anti-collision systems and safety measures on the brushes and conveyor chains.
