Customization is one of the most effective ways to elevate a vehicle wash experience. While a basic trip through a wash bay that effectively cleans the vehicle is expected, a system that cleans and entertains at the same time can be an attention-grabber and is much more likely to bring drivers back. For conveyor systems specifically, arches are a serious crowd pleaser.

With the majority of industrial-use NH3 transported via pressurized railcar, it is imperative that the railroads and their employees take serious precautions when loading, unloading and transporting it.
