The best high-pressure lances for car wash systems

Lances for car wash systems are one of the key elements in ensuring effective, professional and fast cleaning. Due to their characteristics, this equipment enables optimal results in a short time, improving operational efficiency. 

How high-pressure lances for car wash systems work

High-pressure lances are critical components in a car wash system, designed to optimize pump performance and transform the pressure generated into a targeted and effective water jet. Their operation is based on a simple but powerful principle: directing high-pressure water flow through a nozzle to create a mechanical action to remove dirt, grease, and other impurities from surfaces.

Pressurized water flow is generated by the system pump and passes through the lance, keeping the power intact until ejection. This jet can be adjusted according to operational needs, varying the intensity and type of flow. This adjustment allows the operator to tailor the cleaning action to the type of dirt and surface to be treated.

Another important aspect of lance operation is the ability to integrate detergent systems. Some lances are equipped with tanks or valves that allow chemicals to be mixed with the water flow, further increasing the effectiveness in removing difficult stains or fouling.

How to choose the best lances for car wash systems

Not all lances are the same, and it is critical to choose the one best suited to the specific needs of your facility. Here are the main factors to consider:

• Materials: opt for lances made of stainless steel or corrosion-resistant materials to ensure durability.
• Maximum supported pressure: check that the lance is compatible with the pressure delivered by your system.
• Ergonomic handle: a lance that is comfortable to handle reduces operator effort and improves productivity.
• Interchangeable accessories: evaluate the availability of nozzles or other accessories that can adapt to different cleaning applications.

Investing in a superior professional lance means not only improving the performance of your equipment, but also ensuring greater customer satisfaction. Choosing the right lance should take into account the technical specifications, but also the experience of those who use it.

Hawk's key role

Car wash lances therefore prove to be an essential component for any system, ensuring efficiency and flawless results. In this context, we at Hawk have numerous high-pressure lances in our catalog; let's analyze them in detail.

The 900 mm Lance is ideal for washing operations that require precision and maneuverability, allowing the operator to easily reach difficult areas without compromising cleaning effectiveness. It can reach an operating pressure of 280 bar, with a maximum flow rate of 40 liters per minute.

The 1200 mm steel lance differs from the 900 mm version in that it is longer, allowing it to reach more distant surfaces and hard-to-clean corners. This feature makes it particularly useful for increasing flexibility in vehicle washing operations. It still maintains the same pressure and flow rates as the 900 mm lance, operating at 280 bar and 40 l/min.
