Understanding How the Flat Belt Conveyor System Works

In recent times, the car wash industry has come a long way in terms of providing vehicle cleaning and maintenance. When it comes to this, robust systems and equipment pieces are typically required to make washing more efficient, effective, and convenient. Over the years, one of the industry’s great innovations is the flat belt conveyor system, which helps both drivers and people working around the car wash with optimal efficiency and safety.

In this article, we’ll share with you what a flat belt conveyor system is, how it works, and its benefits in the car wash industry.

What a flat belt conveyor is

A flat belt conveyor is a system with a stable, flat moving platform designed to transport objects from one point to another. This system varies from one type to another based on the conveyor belt pace, direction, curvature and size. 

The belt conveyor can be categorized as lightweight or heavyweight. While lightweight belting has a working tension of less than 160 pounds per inch of width, the heavyweight belting goes over this weight requirement designed to handle movements of bulky, heavy materials.

How a flat belt conveyor system works

In the car wash industry, the flat belt conveyor is usually made of polypropylene anti-static acetal flame retardant materials. This system typically has two-inch pusher cleats and a handful of sprockets to move the conveyor and carry multiple vehicles at one time. Also, it has a cleaning system that acts as a lubricant and washes out foreign matter under the belt.

Here’s what you need to know about how it works: As soon as your car enters the carwash tunnel and drives onto the conveyor belt, its four wheels are then transported. It won’t detect any movement at all, thereby preventing a collision with another vehicle in front of it. At a certain point, your vehicle will take a halt where the car washing itself occurs. Once done, it will be moved to the end of the tunnel, where you can safely drive off.

The benefits of a flat belt conveyor system in the car wash industry

Using a flat belt conveyor system for your car wash comes with a handful of benefits, such as the following:

  • Convenience: It is easier for your customers or drivers to get their vehicles washed, as there’s no need to follow certain rules on turning, braking, and shifting out of neutral inside the car wash tunnel. The car will just be pulled onto the belt for cleaning and transported to the end of the tunnel for a cleaner outcome.
  • Efficiency: It’s a lot faster to have the car enter the tunnel and get pulled closer to another vehicle on the belt—ready for cleaning. The more vehicles are on the belt and the faster they’re moved, the more revenue you will make for your business.
  • Easy maintenance: This system is sleeker and simpler in design than its chain and roller counterparts. For this reason, it is a lot easier to maintain due to its fewer moving components.

Conclusion

The flat belt conveyor system is indeed a significant innovation in the car wash industry in recent times. Not only does it make vehicle washing easier and more convenient, but it also promotes the utmost efficiency and safety. If you run and operate a car wash, you have all the right reasons to invest in this robust system for the good of your business!
