Drying Options
PDQ’s MaxAir™ On-Board Dryer offers you all the benefits of MaxAir without the added bay space requirement of a stand-alone dryer.
MaxAir On-Board Dryer
PDQ’s MaxAir™ On-Board Dryer offers you all the benefits of MaxAir without the added bay space requirement of a stand-alone dryer. MaxAir uses less energy, yet dries vehicles better than ever. The key is maximizing air velocity and flow. Through innovative design, the MaxAir™ On-Board Dryer delivers high-velocity air to the vehicle surface where it’s most important. Plus the on-board dryer’s open and efficient design is enhanced by less space requirement making it ideal for smaller wash bays.
Traveling in tandem with the wash bridge, the integrated on-board dryer operates immediately after the LaserWash G5 S-Series completes the rinse cycle, producing high quality drying, uniform travel speed and an evenly distributed air pattern.
Stand-Alone MaxAir Dryer
As with all PDQ equipment, the LaserWash G5 S-Series can be paired with a MaxAir stand alone dryer in either four or six producer configurations. PDQ’s MaxAir Stand-Alone Dryer is a breakthrough in dryer performance. MaxAir dries vehicles better than ever, yet uses less energy than conventional dryers.
