An Upgrade to an Industry Favorite: AVW’s New Over/Under Conveyor Design
For more than 50 years, AVW has been the trusted name behind some of the most reliable, operator‑friendly equipment in the car wash industry. This year, they’ve done it again, introducing a major upgrade to the classic over/under conveyor system that so many operators depend on.
Whether you’re running an older tunnel that’s ready for a refresh or building a new site and want a simple, proven alternative to the revolutionary AVW Original Belt, this new conveyor design delivers exactly what operators value most: simplicity in motion.
What’s New? A Smarter, Stronger, Easier‑to‑Service Conveyor
AVW took everything operators loved about the original over/under system and made it better. The result is a conveyor that’s tougher, easier to maintain, and built for the demands of today’s high‑volume express tunnels.
Key Highlights:
- There is an improved roller‑up heavy‑duty fork system. It is stronger, smoother, and designed for long‑term durability.
- AVW has upgraded manual roller‑up pedal. It is easier to operate and more ergonomic for staff.
- There are fully removable top plates at entrance and exit. Service access has never been simpler which means no more wrestling with fixed plates.
- It is now compatible with log chain which adds flexibility for operators who prefer or require this configuration.
- The bearings are easy-to grease making routine maintenance faster and more consistent.
- Bearings replace fast‑wearing UHMW bushings which is a major improvement in longevity and reliability.
- There is Improved UHMW guide rail protection. This is a redesigned wear item that is easier to install, easier to maintain, and easier to replace, reducing downtime and simplifying routine service.
- This conveyor is Constructed from heavy‑duty steel; built to withstand years of nonstop tunnel operation.
This upgrade isn’t just a refresh, it’s a meaningful evolution of a system operators already trust. AVW kept the simplicity and reliability that made the over/under conveyor a staple, then engineered it for the next generation of car wash performance.
