Frequently Asked Questions
With a conveyor tunnel car wash system, the vehicle drives onto a conveyor belt that transports it through a series of washing and drying stages within the tunnel.
The ideal car wash system for your business will depend on several factors, such as the location, the size of your lot, and how much up-front investment you can make. Tunnel car wash systems, for example, typically require a larger lot size and higher equipment costs compared to other car wash systems, but they also offer higher vehicle throughput and premium wash options, which offer more long-term ROI for high-traffic locations. At NoviClean, we can advise you on the right wash equipment for your situation.
A typical tunnel car wash system can wash between 100 and 200 cars per hour. The throughput of a tunnel car wash will vary based on the length of the tunnel, the equipment configuration, and balancing wash results with wash speed. Smaller, retrofit tunnel wash systems will have a lower throughput than larger systems.
A tunnel car wash project is a multi-million-dollar project. While the equipment costs for a tunnel car wash typically range between $1M-$3M, the total project cost typically ranges between $2M-$4M, excluding the cost of land.
Just like any other mechanical system, tunnel car wash systems require regular preventative maintenance to keep running continuously. At NoviClean, we partner with equipment manufacturers that are known for durable equipment and component design and offer maintenance packages for all our customers.
