Central vacuum system
The central vacuum system
The perfect complement to wash centers with increased wash and vacuum revenue. Depending upon the individual operation philosophy, this system can be operated as a supplementary customer offer at charge or as a customer bonus free-of-charge (customer pays for vacuuming in the previously purchased car wash). The amount of vacuum bays and the positioning of the vacuum bays can be selected as required. The distance between the vacuum bays and the central vacuum unit is minimized in order to guarantee the best possible vacuum results. The central suction line can be mounted on either an existing, adequate roof support or on the support columns of a projected roof or alternatively on a free-standing support system from Christ. Vehicles can be vacuumed with unlimited access via the upper hose inlet. The vacuum bays can be planned continuously without ground upturns between the spaces. Vacuum units can also be designed so that each vacuum bay can be equipped with a suction hose for each side of the vehicle.

Two container variants and support brackets for mounting the suction pipeline and the suctions hoses are provided for free-standing allocation of the HURRICANE.
Vacuum bay activation
Free-of-charge vacuuming
A principal that enjoys ever-growing popularity by vacuum customers! Unlimited vacuuming “free-ofcharge” is a real customer magnet! In order to cover operation costs, the wash unit operator calculates vacuuming costs in the price of the vehicle wash. Access to the vacuum bays should however be planned so that free vacuuming is not possible without having previously washed the vehicle.
Vacuuming at charge
The central vacuum unit can also be designed so that it is only possible to vacuum at charge in freely accessible vacuum bays.
Coin examiner
Only in combination with pinch valve. The pinch valve opens after coin insertion and vacuuming can begin. (Time can be individually set) Can also be combined with a coin suction device in the free-standing version.
Central operator panel*
The passenger vehicle drives in a free vacuum space. Payment succeeds on the centrally installed panel. The corresponding vacuum space is chosen, the pinch valve for this vacuum space opens and vacuuming can begin (time can be individually set). Can be combined with a coin suction device.
