PowerLock Energy Saving Air Valve
Saving you money and headaches
The PowerLock is a lightweight air valve that mounts to the fan inlet of dryers. By restricting air flow between vehicles, it allows the fans to continue operating while decreasing dryer motor horsepower by over 50%. This extends the dryer lifespan and significantly reduces energy levels when engaged. It stops air flow instantaneously, so it can be used between vehicles where VFD drives require time to ramp up and ramp down - saving you power and money in between each vehicle.
Save Money
PowerLocks will save you money on both peak billing charges as well as overall use, as it saves costly power in between vehicles. Depending on your electric charges, the PowerLocks could save you between 15% and 28% on your overall electric bill, since the dryer uses by far the most electricity in the car wash!
Reduce Noise
By incorporating sound deadening materials, the PowerLock controls dryer noise at the source, minimizing harmful frequencies by 3-5dB when engaged. This provides a safer working environment for employees, and can aid in your approval process.
Pickup Beds - No Problem!
The PowerLock also eliminates pickup bed and soft-top convertible headaches! The PowerLocks engage instantaneously to eliminate air flow when drying an open bed pickup truck, stopping dirty water / debris from being blown out of the bed onto the next vehicle, into the bay where it must be cleaned or onto the dryer nozzle / arch where it will drip down on future vehicles with dirty water.
