OPW Vehicle Solutions has launched its new QuickFire SureShot model, an extension of its QuickFire Wrap Around technology.
When it was originally introduced, the QuickFire was described as the car wash industry’s first high-volume wash system as it had the ability to wash more than 200 vehicles an hour. This enabled it, even at high speeds, to provide full wash coverage safely and reliably for the vehicle’s front, side and rear thanks to its ability to ‘follow’ the vehicle through the tunnel, resulting in a cleaner wash process.
The new QuickFire Sure Shot includes the QuickFire’s patented DynaTrigger Sizer that enables it to ‘fire’ across the rear of the vehicle for taillight-to-taillight coverage that effectively eliminates ‘skunk striping’ and the Built-To-Tilt socket joint that pivots through a full 360 degrees for thorough coverage of all vehicle contours.
These features are complemented by other design enhancements including:
• Enhanced Roller Design: High-grade rollercoaster wheels travel unimpeded over a mill-finished rail that eliminates slippage during the wash process that can compromise the system’s cleaning ability
• DynaTrigger Sizer: Improved performance makes it easier to maintain the performance parameters for optimal cleaning. It custom cleans every vehicle, every time as the sizer senses and adjusts to different vehicle widths and lengths.
• Air Over Oil System: The mountings for the wash-chemical canisters have been made more robust, which allows the injection head to move more smoothly and eliminates the risk of early failure.
• Larger Baseplate: The new 23.5-inch by 35.5-inch baseplate provides increased stability, which improves reliability and safety in large-volume washes.
For forecourts that are currently using the QuickFire technology, OPW Vehicle Wash Solutions is offering a Retrofit Kit that allows the existing system to be outfitted with the new QuickFire SureShot components. The company says the result will be a wash system that maintains its optimal cleaning parameters over longer periods of time, even when operating at demanding high-volume wash sites.
