Car Washes

Stainless Steel Drains for Car Washes

A car wash requires a reliable drainage system. Thousands of liters of water mixed with sand, chemicals and oils must be efficiently removed daily, so the installation has to be durable, chemical-resistant and easy to maintain.

Our drainage channels, floor grates and point drains made of stainless steel are designed specifically for the demands of both touchless and automatic car washes.

Why our drains perform in car washes?

  • Corrosion resistance – stainless steel ensures long-term durability in humid environments exposed to automotive chemicals.
  • High flow capacity – we engineer channels and grates to handle large water volumes even under intensive use.
  • Easy cleaning and maintenance – smooth surfaces and smart design prevent dirt buildup, simplifying hygiene routines.
  • User safety – anti-slip gratings minimize slip risk on wet floors.
  • Custom fit – we manufacture drains in various sizes and configurations tailored to wash hall layouts and investor requirements.

Applications

Our solutions suit both new builds and refurbishments. Linear channels and point drains in stainless steel can be installed in:

  • self-service car washes,
  • automatic car washes,
  • service and workshop bays,
  • vehicle preparation zones.

Choose quality and reliability

Selecting our drains gives you a product designed and manufactured in Poland from premium stainless steel, ensuring long, trouble-free service life.

Frequently asked questions

Which stainless steel grade is best for car wash drains?

Car wash water contains road salt chlorides and detergents, so we recommend V4A (1.4404/AISI 316L). Molybdenum addition boosts resistance to chlorine, salt and acids. A cost-effective alternative is V2A (1.4301/AISI 304) for milder conditions.

Do stainless steel drains withstand detergents and chemicals?

Yes. Both V2A and V4A stainless steels resist detergents used in car washes. For heavy exposure to chlorine, salt and acids we select V4A (1.4404) with molybdenum for superior corrosion protection.

Why does V4A resist road salt better than standard stainless steel?

V4A (1.4404/AISI 316L) contains molybdenum that increases resistance to chlorides found in road salt and process water, reducing pitting corrosion where standard V2A may eventually fail.

Which linear drains suit vehicle wash zones?

We use slot channels with 8-20 mm gaps sized for required flow rates. They remove water, sand and detergents and connect to larger collection channels to create a complete car wash drainage system.

Are the drains safe and certified?

Our stainless steel products carry PZH and 3.1 mill certificates per EN 10204. As an EHEDG member we design them according to hygienic principles essential where water and chemicals constantly contact the steel.

How to select the load class for car wash drains?

Load class is chosen according to vehicle traffic; we offer B125-F900. Higher classes apply in passenger car and truck lanes. Full selection of drainage channels is agreed during project planning.
