5 Brush Car Wash Machine for Gas Stations and High Volume Sites

The Hey-5Y is a fully automatic 5 brush car wash machine from HeyCar for busy sites.

Five soft foam brushes clean different parts of the car at the same time.

As a result, the machine handles steady traffic with just one operator.

In fact, many major gas stations use it as standard equipment, because a visible automatic wash draws drivers in.

Who this machine is for

• Gas stations that want a wash bay to attract fuel customers and add revenue per visit.
• Car wash investors planning a high-volume single bay; HeyCar’s FAQ gives 120–500 cars per day for computerized machines.
• Fleet and dealer yards that need fast, consistent brush cleaning every day.
• Sites with heavy road dirt where brushes outperform touchless high pressure.

On the other hand, a smaller garage with lower volume may prefer the simpler rollover machine.

How the 5 brush car wash machine works

1. The driver parks the car in the bay and stays inside.
2. The operator starts the wash programme on the control system.
3. The gantry moves over the car while five brushes work in sync on different parts of the vehicle.
4. Adjustable brush pressure lets the brushes follow the vehicle contours.
5. When the cycle ends, the driver leaves and the next car enters.

So one operator can keep the line moving during peak hours.

That is the main business case for a 5 brush car wash machine.

Key features

• Five synchronised brushes — each brush cleans a different part of the car at the same time.

• Adjustable brush pressure — the brushes follow the shape of each vehicle.

• Energy-saving operation — low running cost per car.
• Copper and stainless steel — good anti-rust performance in a wet bay.

Site and installation requirements

The machine measures 360 × 380 × 290 cm. In addition, your bay needs space for the car under the gantry.

It runs on 22 kW at 380V. So check that your site has a suitable industrial power connection.

Answer these questions before you request a quotation:

• What are the length, width and clear height of the bay?
• Does your site already have a 380V supply with enough spare capacity for 22 kW?
• Can your water supply deliver 70–150 L per car at your busiest hour?
• Is there drainage and a sludge trap, or will civil works add them?
• How many cars per day do you expect in the first year?

Because HeyCar tailors the design to your site, accurate measurements save time later.

Running costs per car

Water use is 70–150 L per car, according to HeyCar’s FAQ.

Meanwhile, one operator runs the bay, so labour cost per car falls as volume grows.

For example, at 120–500 cars per day, the same operator cost spreads over many more washes.

Power and chemical costs depend on your local tariffs and programmes. Therefore, the quotation sets them out for your site.

Honest limits

• The machine does not clean interiors, so add a vacuum or steam station for full valeting.
• It needs a 380V industrial supply, which some small sites must install first.
• Some owners of new or luxury cars prefer touchless washing.
