Igus Plastics Products are Optimized in the Car Wash Industry

Intelligent Wash Systems, a leader in the car wash industry, is using Igus plastics cable carriers in its new touch-free car wash system.

Igus® Inc., delivers squeaky clean performance with its Energy Chain® and Chainflex® continuous-flex cables for Intelligent Wash Systems' new touch-free car wash system called The Storm.

Based out of Denver, Col., Intelligent Wash Systems provides its customers with a number of car wash solutions such as self-service, automatic, tunnel system and freestanding machines. The Storm, a popular choice among the company’s offerings, is maintenance-free and delivers an unsurpassed cleaning to cars of various sizes and styles by using state-of-the-art software.

Since The Storm’s creation two years ago, the machine has been equipped with System E4/4 Energy Chain cable carrier and Chainflex CF140 US, a power and control cable. The System E4/4 E-Chain® is designed for particularly demanding environments, making it well suited for the tough jobs handled by The Storm, such as washing dual-size trucks and full-size Hummers. Seven feet of the Energy Chain is used to manage and protect five Chainflex cables also employed in the car wash.

Both Energy Chain and Chainflex deliver a first-rate performance, functioning almost seamlessly against elements such as dirt, sand and grit, as well as temperatures ranging from 20 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit.

Igus has more than 28,000 products available from stock, meeting the motion control and machinery component needs of customers worldwide developing and manufacturing industry-leading plastics cable carriers, continuous-flex cables, plastics bearings and linear guide systems.

Steve Chase, owner of Intelligent Wash Systems, believes Energy Chain and Chainflex are important parts of The Storm now and in the future.

“I chose igus for a number of reasons. The price is competitive, the sales support is great and the increased longevity of igus’ products over comparable solutions is a plus,” said Chase. “Currently, we are using Energy Chain and Chainflex on five to six machines per year and we hope to increase that number to between 50 and 60 in the near future.”

Intelligent Wash Systems has been using Energy Chain and Chainflex since The Storm’s inception in 2003 and will continue using igus as the machine evolves. Intelligent Wash Systems has designed The Storm to be completely maintenance-free for a full five-year period – using igus’ products to help accomplish this goal.
