Motors for Express Car Wash Vacuums

Powerful motors are the heart of your express car wash vacuums. If your vacuums are completely failing, or you’re experiencing poor suction, it might be time to replace your motors. Pick from a wide range of CFM, waterlift, and amp ratings to get the exact models that will work properly with your vacuum units. Additionally, we offer replacement brushes and gaskets to conduct maintenance on your motors and keep them operating properly.

Important Vac Motor Specifications

  • Motor Power: Expressed in Watts, kW, or HP, and it depends on the type and number of motors in the vacuum.
  • Voltage: This is a measure of electrical energy, denoted in Volts. Most car wash vacuum motors operate at 120 volts and 240 volts. There are some motors with uncommon voltage specifications that are vacuum-specific.
  • Motor Amps: The motor amps specification represents the total electrical current drawn by the vacuum, including the motor and other electrical components.
  • Water Lift (Sealed Suction): This metric measures the vacuum motor's strength and is derived from determining how many inches a vacuum motor will vertically lift a 1'' column of water. This test simulates the process of lifting dirt and debris from carpets.
  • Airflow Rating (CFM): Airflow rating, expressed in cubic feet per minute (CFM), is the rate at which air flows through the vacuum. The faster the airflow, the more effective the vacuum is at picking up dirt and debris.
  • RPM (Revolutions Per Minute): This specification tells you the maximum number of times the rotor can spin per minute. Speed plays a significant role in a vacuum cleaner's cleaning efficiency, particularly on carpets and other surfaces that require agitation. The speed of the motor varies drastically depending on the vacuum.
  • Diameter/Footprint: This is a measurement of a motor’s footprint using its diameter. Choose a motor with the same diameter as the original to prevent air from leaking. When air leaks vacuum suction will decrease impacting the customer experience.
