Powerful . Durable . Efficient
Ultimate Car Wash Drying System
Solid Cast Aluminum
Unlike traditional systems that use plastic dryer housings, AutoDryer™ features solid cast aluminum housings. This new design outlasts and outperforms the competition.
Equip with DryerIQ™
The AutoDryer™ system can be equipped with DryerIQ™, an advanced power management Motor Control Center that ensures maximum energy efficiency and maximum savings.
Incredibly Energy Efficient
AutoDryer™ is taking the carwash industry by storm, leaving traditional energy hogging dryer systems in the dust and slashing operating costs by an average of up to 70%.
The AutoDryer™ System
The AutoDryer™ System dries vehicles very efficiently. The blower housing is cast aluminum which is rigid, crack-resistant and impervious to the elements. Its unique engineered casting design incorporates a scrolled housing that produces high CFM and air pressure velocities to maximize drying performance. Our backward curved impellers are manufactured to strict standards. All AutoDryer™ Systems are built on a structurally sound blower frame made of aluminum, stainless steel or coated carbon steel. Available in 10 or 15 horsepower models. Add DryerIQ™ to maximize performance and efficiency.
Benefits
The DryerIQ™ Difference
AutoDryer™ can maintain 60 HZ even when only 50 HZ power is available
Example of 208V Dryer Motor:
Full Throttle | Air Brake Closed (but still Full Throttle) | Air Brake Closed with DryerIQ™ | |
---|---|---|---|
Flow in AMPS | 48 Amps | 24 Amps | 12 Amps |
RPMs - Hz (Hz x sec=RPM) | 60 Hz | 60 Hz | 40 Hz |
Kilowatts ($ energy $) | 11 kW | 9 kW | 2 kW* |
More than a 70% reduction in kW consumption at idle.

Dryer IQ™ Efficiency
DryerIQ™ manages your carwash dryers with a dynamic variable frequency drive (VFD) and customized software. Dryer IQ™ replaces outdated operating methods that rely on costly across-the-line starters and inefficient dampers to control airflow. Dryer IQ™ eliminates wasteful startup power spikes that drive up your energy rates. Dryer IQ™ starts your dryers efficiently and gradually and then controls the motors’ RPMs so they operate at maximum efficiency. Your dryers work as much (or as little) as necessary according to your business levels.
Dryer IQ™ manages airflow by controlling the speed of your motor, instead of relying on inefficient damper methods. Your dryer motors return to idle during stand by periods, waiting to ramp up their RPMs as business requires.
