Both reciprocating car washing machines and tunnel car washing machines belong to fully automatic car washing machines. Our company’s reciprocating car washing machine and tunnel car washing machine have good car washing effects. The difference between the two lies in car washing methods, floor area, and washing efficiency.

1.Car washing method:

During the washing process of the reciprocating car washing machine, the vehicle cannot stop and the equipment reciprocates to wash the car.

During the washing process of the tunnel car washing machine, the equipment does not move, and the vehicle is dragged forward by the equipment track through the processes of pre washing, foam washing, wax washing, air drying, etc.

2.Floor Area

The reciprocating car washing machine requires a small site area, which is sufficient for the reciprocating movement of the car washing equipment. After cleaning, the vehicle can be poured out.

Although the tunnel car washing machine is stationary, it requires a larger area with clear spaces on both sides as the vehicle exits from the other end after cleaning.

3.Car washing efficiency

The reciprocating car washing machine can only clean one car at a time, and can clean 12-15 cars per hour.

The tunnel type car washing machine can clean three cars at the same time, and can clean 50-60 cars per hour, suitable for car wash shops and gas stations with high traffic volume.

Based on the above three aspects, it is easy to distinguish the type of car washing equipment selected!
