Tunnel Car Wash — FAQ

Typically when your throughput exceeds ~10–15 cars/hr or you expect peaks that require short wait times.

Depending on configuration and length, the range is ~20 up to ~120 cars/hour. The Gamma 18 m is ~50–60, and the 30 m can reach ~100.

18 m suits most plots; 12 m is a compact, trolley-replacement footprint; 30 m targets high throughput (~100 cph). Consider plot size, turning radius, and queue space.

All are supported. Choose based on local soil conditions, customer preference, and package strategy; many sites use combination for versatility.

The conveyor presents a roller only when a car is correctly positioned—improving entry safety and flow.

Use expected peak demand and choose conveyor length/speed accordingly; Gamma 30 m allows higher belt speeds during rush hour.

Power, water, drainage/reclaim (recommended), air for pneumatics, and chemical storage; your local team will provide a site-specific checklist.

Routine brush inspection, nozzle alignment, conveyor chain/roller checks, and blower service keep uptime high. Preventive schedules are provided at install.

Yes—tunnels pair well with reclaim systems; use reclaim for high-volume steps and fresh water for final rinse to maintain finish quality.

Staffing depends on services (pre-scrub, towel dry, interior options). Express exterior tunnels often run with a minimal crew for loading, monitoring, and lot flow.

Car Wash Tunnel System

Car Wash Tunnel Systems are excellent for high throughput conditions where you have more than 10 - 15 cars per hour. KKE has all the washing equipment required for the tunnel car wash system. The equipment consists of primarily the car wash conveyor which pulls the car into the system so that various car wash stations can perform various cleaning washing functions in the car. The KKE Car wash conveyor has a roller on demand which gives the roller when the car actually is on the car wash conveyor in the car wash tunnel system.

Once the car is in the tunnel, KKE has various arches which can be opted.
