Did you know car washes require a different type of operating system than your typical garage door? Car washes benefit from pneumatic operating systems. This is a system that uses compressed air or gas to control the movement of mechanical parts which is necessary in the wet and humid environment. Pneumatic components can be used for an array of applications, including controlling water and chemical dispensers, activating brushes and other cleaning elements and managing the movement of different parts of the car wash equipment. Cool huh? Make sure the technicians servicing your door have experience with pneumatic operating systems to ensure proper maintenance. #themoreyouknow
