Abstract: A sprayer includes a nozzle, a nozzle actuator connected to the nozzle, and a controller in communication with the nozzle actuator. The controller receives wind data (e.g. from a wind sensor), determines a nozzle adjustment based on the wind data, and controls the nozzle actuator to alter a spray state of the nozzle based on the nozzle adjustment.

Abstract: A washing system includes one or more fluid cannons and a data processing device. The cannons are arranged about a rinsing area for rinsing an object. The data processing device is in communication with the one or more fluid cannons and executes a rinsing routine for rinsing the object within the rinsing area. The rinsing routine causes the data processing devise to issue one or more commands based on an object type that causes the one or more fluid cannons to aim toward the object spray and spray a fluid for a threshold period of time.

Abstract: A spray nozzle includes a stem, a shaper, and a plunger. The stem has first and second portions and defines a first bore along a center axis. The second portion defines a second bore along the center axis and at least one conduit adjacent the bore. The first bore is in liquid communication with the second bore and the at least one conduit. An outer surface of the stem defines a first limit feature. The shaper collar is movably received over the stem. The shaper collar defines a second limit feature that complements the first limit feature. The contact between the limit features limits the travel of the shaper collar. The plunger has a head and a tail. The head is received in the first bore and is impassible through the second bore. The tail is received through the second bore and defines a retention feature.

Abstract: A vehicle wash rack is disclosed. The vehicle wash rack includes a plurality of vehicle supporting floor segments; a plurality of fluid overspray containment wall segments; and a fluid handling system fluidly-connected to both of the plurality of vehicle supporting floor segments and the plurality of fluid overspray containment wall segments.

Abstract: A cleaning system is provided which includes a wash floor, a side trough adjacent the wash floor, which is positioned to receive waste from the wash floor and is attached to a filtering system. A method of using this cleaning system is also provided.

Abstract: A method of washing a debris carrying item on a wash pad that includes placing the item on the wash pad, using wash fluid to remove the debris from the item, and collecting at least one of the wash fluid and debris in a catch trough disposed in fluid communication with the wash floor. The method also includes moving at least one of the wash fluid and debris to an evacuator disposed in fluid communication with the catch trough, and elevating debris from a collection height to a dump height for dumping. The evacuator substantially removes wash fluid received from the catch trough.

Abstract: A wash pad that includes a wash floor for supporting a wash item and a catch trough disposed in fluid communication with a longitudinal central portion of the wash floor. The catch trough collects at least one of wash fluid and debris from the wash floor. The wash pad also includes an evacuator disposed in fluid communication with the catch trough and an elevator disposed in fluid communication with the evacuator. The evacuator substantially removes wash fluid received from the catch trough, and the elevator elevates debris from a collection height to a dump height for dumping.

Abstract: A vehicle maintenance system is disclosed having a power unit, a pump, a foam generator, an air compressor, first and second fluid tanks, a hose reel assembly, a wash gun assembly and a support member.
