Industrial VFD Control Cabinets & High-Pressure Pump Stations

Clean wiring, labeled components, and zero secrets. We build pump rooms designed to be serviced by your local electrician—not a flight-in specialist.

The backroom is where your profits are made or lost. Inefficient motors spike your demand charges, and proprietary computers hold your wash hostage. WashX engineers Open-Architecture Control Systems and High-Efficiency Pump Stations that deliver consistent pressure while cutting your electrical and maintenance costs by up to 30%.


Intelligent Motor Control Centers (MCC)


Eliminate current spikes and mechanical shock with fully integrated VFDs.

30% Energy Savings: Integrated Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) ramp motors up smoothly, preventing the massive "in-rush" current that triggers high utility demand charges.

  • Soft-Start Protection: Eliminates the mechanical shock of 0-to-100 starts, doubling the lifespan of your belts, chains, and gearboxes.

  • No "Spaghetti" Wiring: Every cabinet is hand-wired in the USA with clearly labeled, finger-safe components. Troubleshooting takes minutes, not hours.

  • Zero Proprietary Code: We use standard industrial logic. You own the system, and you (or any qualified tech) can access it. No hostages.



High-Pressure Pumping Stations


Consistent 1,000 PSI output. Zero Pulsation. Industrial Reliability.

  • Steady Pressure: Custom-sized manifolds and dampeners ensure consistent pressure at the nozzle—whether you are washing 1 car or 100 cars per hour.

  • Stainless Steel Manifolds: We replace cheap brass and galvanized plumbing with 304 Stainless Steel headers to prevent corrosion and nozzle clogging.

  • Vibration Isolation: Pumps are mounted on industrial rubber isolators to stop vibration from cracking your plumbing welds or loosening fittings.

  • Direct-Drive Reliability: We eliminate belt slippage and maintenance by using Direct-Drive pump assemblies for maximum power transfer.


Precision Low-Pressure Chemical Dosing



Stop wasting soap. Get perfect coverage and consistent cost-per-car control.

Accurate Dilution: Utilizes advanced Venturi or Peristaltic dosing to ensure the exact chemical mix hits the car every time.

  • Visual Verification: Integrated flow meters and clear lines allow you to verify chemical delivery at a glance.

  • Manifold Distribution: Eliminates "surging" for smooth foam presentation that covers the vehicle evenly from bumper to bumper.

  • Ceramic & Wax Protection: Precision application protects modern clear coats and delivers that "showroom shine" customers pay extra for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a specialized technician to service your control panels?

No. This is our biggest advantage. We use standard industrial components and provide clear, numbered wiring schematics. Any qualified local electrician can troubleshoot and service our panels, saving you the cost and downtime of flying in a brand-specific technician.

How much can VFDs actually save on my utility bill?

Operators typically see electrical savings of 30–40%. By eliminating the massive "in-rush" current spikes during motor startup, VFDs significantly lower your utility "demand charges." Plus, running pumps at optimized speeds (rather than 100% all the time) wastes less energy.

Is your software proprietary or "locked"?

Absolutely not. We hate "black box" systems that hold operators hostage. We use standard industrial logic controllers. You own the code, and you have full access to it. If you need to make a change later, you aren't forced to call us—though we are always here to help.

Will this MCC integrate with my existing tunnel controller?

Yes. Our Motor Control Centers are "controller agnostic." whether you use DRB, ICS, Sonnys, or Micrologic, our cabinets integrate seamlessly via discrete I/O or Ethernet communication to accept start/stop commands and speed references.

What brand of high-pressure pumps do you use?

We use the industry gold standards: General Pump, Cat Pumps, and Arimitsu. We choose these because parts (seals, valves, oil) are available at almost any local supply house, ensuring you are never down waiting for a "WashX specific" pump head.

Do you build panels for 208V, 230V, and 460V power?

Yes. We custom-build every MCC to match your site’s specific incoming power. We handle the transformers and power distribution internally, so you get a clean, single-point connection for your electrician.

How do you prevent the VFDs from overheating in a hot equipment room?

Heat is the #1 killer of electronics. We design our cabinets with Active Positive Pressure Cooling. Filtered fans force cool air into the cabinet, pushing heat out and preventing dust and chemical mist from being sucked in.

Can I expand the system later if I add more arches?

Yes. We engineer with growth in mind. We leave spare DIN rail space and extra wire-way capacity in our cabinets. If you decide to add a blower or a new applicator next year, you can drop in a breaker/drive without buying a whole new panel.

What happens if a VFD drive fails?

Because we use major industrial brands (like ABB, Yaskawa, or Allen-Bradley), you can often source a replacement drive locally from an industrial supplier the same day. You simply swap it out, input the parameters, and you are back washing cars.

Do you provide electrical schematics?

Yes. Every system ships with a comprehensive, laminated set of electrical schematics inside the door. Every wire in the cabinet is numbered on both ends to match the drawing, making tracing circuits incredibly fast and simple.
