High-Velocity Drying Systems & Stainless Steel Arches

High-Velocity Drying Systems & Stainless Steel Arches

A wet car is a dirty car. Don't let a weak drying system ruin the customer experience at the exit. WashX engineers custom drying arches using heavy-gauge 304 Stainless Steel housings and high-efficiency impellers. Whether you need a standalone top blower for an In-Bay Automatic or a 120HP mega-arch for a high-volume tunnel, we configure the airflow to match your line speed.

Industrial Blower Producers


Maximum CFM. Minimum Noise. Built to Last.

Engineered for Premium, High-Volume Drying Performance


  • Cast Aluminum Impellers: We use statically balanced cast aluminum impellers—not cheap plastic fans that crack under load.

  • 304 Stainless Housings: Every producer housing is built from heavy-gauge stainless steel to prevent corrosion, unlike painted steel units that rust out in 3 years.

  • Quick-Swap Maintenance: Motors are mounted for easy access, allowing belt changes or greasing in minutes.

  • 7.5HP to 15HP Options: Choose the exact power you need. We use premium TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled) motors designed for wet environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What horsepower options are available for your blower producers?

We offer 7.5 HP, 10 HP, and 15 HP options. We typically recommend 10 HP or 15 HP for the top producers to strip the heavy water, and 7.5 HP for side producers to handle detail work on mirrors and rocker panels. We can mix and match to hit your exact CFM (airflow) requirements.

Why do you use stainless steel housings instead of plastic?

Plastic housings eventually crack from UV exposure and vibration, and painted steel rusts. We build exclusively with 304 Stainless Steel. It is an investment in longevity—your arch will look as good in 10 years as it does on day one, maintaining the professional image of your tunnel.

How do VFDs reduce my electrical utility bill?

Blower motors are the biggest energy consumers in a wash. By using VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives), you eliminate the massive "in-rush" current spike during startup, which lowers your utility demand charges. Plus, you can program the dryers to ramp down to an idle speed between cars, saving significant kilowatt-hours daily.

Do you use plastic or aluminum impellers?

We use cast aluminum impellers that are statically balanced for smooth operation. We avoid cheap plastic impellers because they can warp or shatter under high-velocity loads, causing catastrophic damage to the motor shaft or housing.

Are your dryers compliant with local noise ordinances?

Yes. We offer optional noise-reduction packages, including "Gator" gates (which close the output between cars) and silencer intake cones. If you are building near a residential area, we can engineer a layout that maximizes drying power while keeping decibel levels compliant.

How difficult is it to change a belt or grease bearings?

We designed our producers for the mechanic. The motor mounts are easily accessible, allowing a single technician to swap a belt in minutes without removing the entire housing. We also offer greaseless bearing upgrades to further reduce weekly maintenance tasks.

Can I retrofit just one or two blowers onto my existing arch?

Yes. You don't need to buy a whole new system. We sell individual blower producers and housings that can be mounted to your existing frame. This is a cost-effective way to replace a dead motor or add extra drying power to a "problem area" in your tunnel.

How do you prevent water spotting on mirrors and rear hatches?

Spotting happens when air streams miss the hidden crevices. We use fully adjustable producer mounts that allow us to angle the airflow specifically at side mirrors and rear license plate areas, stripping the trapped water before the car exits the tunnel.

What is the benefit of a "Gator" or "Flip" nozzle?

A Flip Nozzle tracks the back of the vehicle (especially SUVs and Hatchbacks) as it passes, directing air straight down the rear window and bumper. This eliminates the "rear drag" water trail that frustrates customers with SUVs.

Do I need a special technician to service the motors?

No. We use standard TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled) industrial motors that can be serviced or replaced by any local electric motor shop. We do not use proprietary motors that force you to buy replacements directly from the manufacturer at a markup.

What horsepower options are available for your blower producers?

We offer 7.5 HP, 10 HP, and 15 HP options. We typically recommend 10 HP or 15 HP for the top producers to strip the heavy water, and 7.5 HP for side producers to handle detail work on mirrors and rocker panels. We can mix and match to hit your exact CFM (airflow) requirements.
