I think therein lies the key. Subsidies vary widely by City / County/ Sate. The ROI rarely makes sense without subsidies unless you are a tree hugger placing great value on a warm fuzzy feeling. (Not that there is anything wrong with that. )

Have had washes with one set of wraps and when economics permitted a second set was added. If room does not permit a slower line speed may compensate somewhat. I call this the "Time on target" factor.

That is what I thought. Had some of those and they began to fail at about 100K cars. Now only use the steel ones.

Is it the oil? The Electric Motor? Something else? If it's the oil have you considered a cooler? If the motor, considered addt'l fans?

Noticed some of your wraps use the Blue flex coupler and some the metal ones. Any reason for the difference? Also notice the log Chain conveyor. Is this the chain you use on all your roller conveyors? Any thoughts on how the WW will hold up? I would guess the tunne; will do 4-5 times the...

Here are videos of the old equip. Replaced with a Sonny's package a couple of years ago. As noted these were "Hodge' wraps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNxwkLuXU5o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03RtqH52QR8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPxHw_2mqlk...

>> We get them on as fast as the conveyor can take them. << I would think a conveyor could take cars a lot faster than 85CPH, although other factors my limit the speed.

Another idea for the fronts is swap out cloth on 2nd wraps lower section for filament. You will need to experiment with rotation speed. As you may know Sonny's shows filament on some lower details mounted on top of their tire brush. I had Erie Brush make me some Filament sections that slip...

hklm - where are you located?

Suggestions. Before buying equipment that may or may not solve the issue I would experiment. Run the car thru a second time. If that does not work than doubling equipment would not seem to solve the problem. Try to remove any residue by hand after a wash . See how long it takes, how much...

Within hours after my post they called me and asked for a description and asked me to send pictures. Impressive response. We will see what develops.

Have 2 Sonny's 901 Mitters and area where Gear box and Motor mount to frame have cracked the welds. Equip is about 4 years old. These units have the gearbox and motor on the top. Welding Aluminum is a PITA so I am going to make a steel plate to put between Aluminum and Mitter and gearbox and...

I have 4 locations in the midwest with no prep. I have AVW, Belenger and Sonny's equip. Key si not mfgr as much as the right stuff. SUre, thre is the occassional cooked on Bug / Bird poop issue. Manual time needed to properly resolve leads me to believe it is really not solveable in a...

Depending on what climate you are in you could use one of these https://www.sonnysdirect.com/mainsei/contentmanagement/home.jsf?wec-appid=Sonnys_Java_Shop&wec-locale=en_US&cm=982 A boatload of equipment in 25 feet. Other mfgrs have similar items. Spyder wrap with Mitter and Wheel Brush and...

Do you have 2 wrap around Brushes or 2 sets of wrap around Brushes? As indicated - target any problems, not just add equip. Forget about removing road tar. It requires solvents and time. Neither of which are appropriate for a tunnel. Bugs may be a similar issue depending on how long they...

I answer thusly. Years ago replaced (4) old 400W MH with the 320 Scottsdales at my exit. Saved 20% on electricity and it was an improvement. Later replaced more 400W MH with 150W LED from KR. in the tunnel. Did 2 as an experiment. Saved 62% on electricity and it was an improvement so I...

How hot is hot? Going on a couple of years in my Chicago Tunnel . So far no issues.

HAve ha them a couple of years - no issues.

Apparently they make a 140 W version. http://wallpacksdirect.com/products/jarvis-cp3-140-led-canopy-light

I have been doing mine as the lights fail. The savings isn't that great. (Especially because i am typically replacing entire fixtures at $450 each) Perhaps 4 plus year payback so I don't feel like it's that big an incentive.
