Gantry Touchless Car Wash Machine with 3D Scan and Smart Air Knives

The Series 8 from HeyCar is a gantry touchless car wash machine for high-frequency automated sites.

It is the flagship of the touchless Series and sits above the Series 7S in the lineup.

HeyCar aims it at premier detailing hubs, luxury fleet logistics centres and busy unattended stations.

Who this machine is for

• Premier detailing hubs that want a machine wash to match their hand-finish standards.
• Luxury fleet logistics centres that wash many high-value vehicles every day.
• High-frequency automated sites where the machine runs for long hours without staff.
• Operators with modified or large vehicles, such as cars with spoilers or trucks with custom bodies.

If your site washes standard cars and wants foam plus side drying, the Series 7S may fit better.

What makes a gantry touchless car wash machine different

The Series 8 uses gantry-frame construction and a much larger wash bed than the other models.

It washes vehicles up to 6800 × 2200 × 2200 mm, so it takes wider and taller vehicles.

In addition, a full three-dimensional scanning array maps each vehicle before the wash starts.

As a result, the arm tracks the real body shape, including spoilers, wings and modified truck bodies.

Then the drying stage follows the same shape instead of using a fixed height.

How the wash cycle works

1. 3D scan: first, the scanning array builds a three-dimensional model of the vehicle.
2. Chassis wash: next, the machine rinses the underbody as standard.
3. Pre-soak: shampoo loosens road film and grime.
4. High-pressure wash: the German PINFL 18.5 kW pump station then sprays at 120 kg / 1706 PSI.
5. Lava foam: magic lava foam covers the body as standard.
6. Triple-gloss overcoat: a polymer water-wax shell adds gloss and rain repellency.
7. Contour drying: finally, four 4 kW smart air knives follow the body at a 10 cm distance.

Key features

• Gantry-frame construction: a rigid flagship frame over a large wash bed.
• Advanced 3D vehicle scan: precise arm tracking for unusual shapes and add-ons.
• German PINFL 18.5 kW pump station: 120 kg / 1706 PSI, the highest pressure in the Series.
• Intelligent contouring air knives: radar data lifts and lowers the overhead knives to hold 10 cm from the body.
• Triple-gloss hydrophobic overcoat: a polymer water-wax shell that customers can see and feel.
• Standard lava foam: a visible premium stage for top programmes.
• Full Japanese Mitsubishi PLC: plus aviation-grade wiring for long duty cycles.
• Shared Series build: SUS304 stainless mainframe, Pepperl+Fuchs proximity sensors and IP67 motors.

Technical specifications

Site and installation requirements

The Series 8 needs the largest bay in the range.

Plan at least 8500 × 4000 × 3600 mm in length, width and height.

The machine itself measures 7500 × 3700 × 3500 mm, so ceiling height needs early checking.

It runs on 3-phase 380V or 220V at 50Hz or 60Hz.

You also need water supply and drainage sized for the flow.

Total installed power and civil works are confirmed in the quotation.

Running costs per car

• Water: 150–200 L per car.
• Chemical: 60–80 ml per car.
• Electricity: 1.2–1.8 kWh per car, depending on the programme.

Because water use is higher than on smaller models, the optional recycling system matters here.

It saves more than 85% of water, so most buyers order it with the machine.

Series 8 compared with neighbouring models

The Series 7S gives lava foam and full side drying in a smaller bay.

However, the Series 8 adds 3D scanning, radar-guided air knives and higher pressure.

Choose the gantry touchless car wash machine when vehicle mix, volume and finish quality justify the larger bay.

Options and upgrades

The Series 8 runs 24 hours unattended, and customers can scan a QR code to start a wash.

Optional extras include app remote monitoring, licence-plate recognition and rolling doors.

In addition, you can order the water recycling system, and your custom logo appears on the LED screen.

HeyCar also provides installation guidance, training and after-sales support.

Frequently asked questions

Why choose a gantry touchless car wash machine over the Series 7S?

Choose it for larger vehicles, 3D scanning and contour drying at high-volume sites.

For standard cars in a smaller bay, the Series 7S often fits better.

How do the air knives work?

Radar data lifts and lowers the overhead knives, so they hold a 10 cm distance from the body.

Can it wash modified trucks?

Yes. The 3D scan tracks spoilers, wings and modified truck bodies within the maximum wash size.

What does the warranty cover?

The Series 8 carries a 2-year warranty on full mechanical and electronic parts.
