2. System Overview #

The High-Pressure Arches are designed to deliver consistent high-pressure water application to cars moving through the tunnel.

The blastIT High-Pressure Prep Arch is designed to tackle heavy dirt and grime effectively. Engineered for high-pressure application, the blastIT ensures that even the most stubborn contaminants below the window line and on the roof are broken down before the vehicle progresses through subsequent wash stages.

For final vehicle rinsing, the rinseIT High-Pressure Arch complements the blastIT by delivering a uniform high-pressure rinse across all vehicle surfaces, ensuring a spotless finish.

2.1 Features & Functions #

innovateIT Car Wash Equipment LLC has developed a series of high-pressure arches designed to deliver reliable and consistent cleaning performance, even in the most demanding car wash environments. Featuring oscillating manifolds, these arches provide comprehensive cleaning coverage for every vehicle.

The blastIT High-Pressure Prep Arch is engineered to tackle heavy dirt, grime, and contaminants in critical areas, including below the window line, on the roof, and along the top surfaces. Its oscillating top manifolds effectively clean the roof and upper sections of the vehicle, while the oscillating side manifolds focus on areas below the window line where debris often accumulates.

By deploying precise high-pressure water streams, the blastIT breaks down stubborn buildup, ensuring a cleaner surface for downstream wash stages.

Complementing the blastIT, the rinseIT High-Pressure Rinse Arch provides a final, uniform rinse to remove detergents, residues, and any remaining dirt. With its oscillating side and top manifolds, the rinseIT ensures comprehensive high-pressure water coverage across the entire vehicle.

Both arches are constructed from durable stainless steel to withstand the harsh conditions of car wash environments, ensuring long-lasting performance.

These high-pressure arches are available in multiple configurations to suit different tunnel designs and wash applications. Options include dual top, dual side, split manifold, and other customizable manifold arrangements to optimize coverage for specific cleaning needs. The configurations depicted in illustrations are for reference only and do not necessarily represent the exact setup for every blastIT or rinseIT installation. A detailed overview of available configuration variations can be found in Appendix 1.

The blastIT High-Pressure Prep Arch is equipped with zero-degree nozzles, available in 0003 or 0006 sizes, ensuring maximum impact for breaking down stubborn dirt and grime. The rinseIT High-Pressure Rinse Arch does not come pre-equipped with nozzles but is designed to accommodate a range of nozzle options, including zero-degree, 5-degree, and 15-degree nozzles, allowing operators to customize spray patterns to meet specific rinsing needs.

Configurable settings, including direction, oscillating angle, adjustable oscillation speeds, and water flow rates, allow these systems to adapt seamlessly to various car wash tunnel designs, providing flexibility and efficiency in any installation.
