There are over thirty different brands of carwash conveyor systems. Many work on the same theory of Hanna’s Conveyor System. Others have unique differences. But there is quite a different in the modern car wash systems from almost 70 years ago when the first carwash conveyor system was introduced in Detroit. And in the last decade we have seen that even more industry changes are needed to the new robotic car wash conveyor systems. For instance a new set of upgrades is needed in the industry such as a new conveyor belt because of the many different types of cars. Think of the lowered “rice rockets” Japanese imports like the ones you saw in “The Fast and the Furious” movie, with fender flares. How about big dually pick-ups and big SUVs with over sized tires. How about those newer hybrids in which the wheels in the front do not line up with the ones in the back? Also consider the LLVs, which the US post office uses.

A conveyor system is needed indeed; a completely new style one, which takes these needs into consideration. Big tires pop-out of conveyor wash systems and damage vehicles. Little cars often have rims, which stick out past the tires and scratch, while the fender flares can be ripped up from the car? I propose these factors to be taken into consideration. Any gentleman or engineer who has the answer stands to make a whole lot of money in the new robotics world of car washing.

Car Washing is growing each year and there are 32,000 conveyor car washes in the United States alone. But a good conveyor system, which can be used for washing has other benefits and uses too. For instance other things such as; Shopping Carts for instance to prevent virus spread and to insure they are properly sanitized between users at the super market or how about wheel chairs at hospitals, where bacteria is known to be problematic.

There is a lot of money in the Car Wash Industry for equipment as a matter of fact we are now the 32nd largest trade show in the world? Crazy indeed.
