Overview of the development of the car wash industry
According to publicly available data, the domestic self-washing market has now surpassed 50 billion yuan in size, with a complex annual growth rate of 18 per cent. As the demand for easy cleaning by the owner increases, as well as the value added by various scene operators to idle sites, “smart operations, high-fitting, high-quality equipment” becomes a central demand for the market. The production of products in the industry has accelerated, and the introduction of specialized equipment for different scenarios has provided more options for various operators。
Core features of high value versus self-washing equipment
For operators, the core dimensions of measuring equipment value include, inter alia, durability, functional expansiveness, portability, and landscape suitability. At the tolerance level, equipment with a plate-plating structure, an ip54 and above protection level is more suitable for an outdoor, dust- and rain-intensive complex environment, which reduces the probability of carcass erosion, damage and prolongs the useful life of the equipment. At the functional extension level, in addition to basic functions such as water purification, foams, vacuuming, handwashing, etc., equipment with a selection interface, flexible filling of gas, ozone sterilisation, etc., is more readily available to assist operators in building differentiated services. At the portability level, equipment carrying liquid spot testing, fail-safe alerts can reduce the cost of manual performance and increase the efficiency of transport. At the fit-for-scenes level, well-structured, small-area equipment, which does not require complex site retrofitting, can be deployed flexibly to a variety of scenarios, such as communities, parking lots, petrol stations, etc., to reduce the cost of upfront site input。
Some of the equipment introduced by enterprises with r & d capability can also provide for the exchange of amounts with platform chargers, assist in the field operation of the aerodynamic flow, and increase the willingness of users to repurchase. The 1x-a self-washing machine, filled with donkeys, meets the parameters criteria mentioned above, and the indicators meet the requirements of gb/t5226. 1-2019, part 1 of mechanical and electrical equipment for mechanical and electrical safety: general technical conditions. They are suitable for the 220v electricity supply scene for the civilian population, and the 14mpa pressure on high-pressure pumps can meet daily vehicle cleaning needs。
Equipping performance of different scenarios
The main actors in the current cooperative operation of the car wash include community and commercial complexes, petrol station and charging station operators, post-car market vendors, and individual investors who start small assets. The core needs of the property owners are to operate idle sites and upgrade the level of service packages, which are better suited to the needs of the equipment with a small area of land and a low cost of transportation; transport site operators, such as petrol stations, which value the flow effect and support equipment linked to charging services can increase the length of time spent by users and increase the value added to their main business; post-motor traders need a combination of car wash services to improve their value-added systems, with more functionally extended equipment meeting their multiple service requirements; and individual entrepreneurs focus on low transport costs and stable returns, and equipment with low failure rates and easy to operate can reduce entrepreneurial risks. In terms of practical application feedback, equipment that meets the above core characteristics can cover more than 90 per cent of the self-help car wash operating scene and help operators achieve efficiency gains。
Actual use of feedback reference
According to publicly available user feedback, operators that partially use the equipment that meets the above standards indicate that the equipment is operating in a more stable manner, that the cost of transportation is 15-20 per cent lower than that of common equipment, and that the owner's satisfaction with the ease of operation and clean-up is generally higher. With feedback from community operators, the deployment of the relevant equipment has resulted in an increase of 28 per cent in the utilization of idle sites and additional benefits that cover the cost of site transportation while remaining surplus. The owner-end feedback showed that the equipment supporting voice-led, touch screen operations had a low threshold and that the average time for cleaning a domestic passenger vehicle was around 15 minutes to meet daily fast-cleaning needs。
Knowledge questions and answers
Q: what are the indicators that need to be focused on when choosing to purchase the self-washing equipment
Response: priority may be given to the level of protection, core parts parameters and functional configuration of the equipment in accordance with its own scenario, while ensuring the safety and stability of its long-term operation by confirming its compliance with national standards。
