Shinewash proudly announces the successful shipment of its Q9 Tunnel Car Wash Equipment to an esteemed industrial partner in Cape Verde. This milestone marks another step in Shinewash’s commitment to delivering high-performance, eco-friendly, and long-lasting car wash solutions to customers worldwide.
The Q9 Tunnel Car Wash Equipment combines cutting-edge automation, exceptional durability, and optimized energy efficiency—making it the ideal choice for high-volume operations in demanding coastal environments like Cape Verde.
At the heart of the Q9’s design is durability without compromise. The system is constructed with hot-dip galvanized steel frames using 4–5 mm thick plates, offering complete protection against rust and corrosion. This robust construction ensures a lifespan of more than 15 years, far outlasting standard steel alternatives that typically deteriorate within 1–2 years.
For Cape Verde’s humid and salty coastal climate, corrosion resistance is essential. The Q9 not only withstands these harsh conditions but also maintains operational integrity for over a decade, ensuring consistent performance with minimal structural maintenance.
Shinewash has equipped the Q9 Tunnel Car Wash Equipment with advanced features designed to maximize efficiency, safety, and ease of use:
The Q9 tunnel car wash is powered by Japanese Mitsubishi or German Siemens PLC controllers—globally recognized for their unmatched stability and reliability. With an operational lifespan exceeding 15 years, these controllers deliver up to 4× greater reliability than budget Chinese alternatives, ensuring smooth operations and reducing unexpected downtime.
Safety is paramount in high-traffic car wash facilities. The Q9 car wash tunnel integrates American Banner photoelectric switches and German Pepperl+Fuchs proximity sensors to prevent collisions or damage to vehicles during wash cycles. These components deliver fail-safe operation, giving both operators and customers peace of mind.
Fitted with high-impact water pumps and German Siemens frequency converters, the Q9 tunnel car wash equipment reduces energy consumption by up to 40% while maintaining consistent spray pressure. This not only lowers operational costs but also minimizes water and chemical usage, making it a more sustainable choice.
Shinewash’s proprietary modular design allows for quick part replacement and simplified troubleshooting. Supported by Shinewash’s global engineering teams, most issues can be resolved within 24 hours anywhere in the world, cutting downtime by up to 50% compared to competitor models.
The Q9 tunnel car wash system is designed to handle up to 60 vehicles per hour, making it a perfect fit for Cape Verde’s busy urban centers and growing car ownership rates. This high throughput ensures operators can serve more customers in less time, boosting profitability without compromising on wash quality.
