We Love Custom Projects

Over 35% of Our Sales Are for Custom Projects?

Custom Project

Rooftop Installation

Past designs include installing blower motors and silencer equipment on the roof of the facility. This unique design helps free up much needed space in narrow bays as well as helps with noise level reduction inside the wash.

Adjacent Room Installations

In some instances, its best for the dryer’s blower motors and optional equipment to be housed in an adjacent or remote room, separate from the wash bay/tunnel. In this case a Proto-Vest Dryers engineer will design a solution to meet your exact specifications.

Customized Motor Placement

Narrow tunnels, limited floor space and a variety of other factors can make it difficult to fit standard equipment. Aside from placing blower motors in adjacent rooms or the roof, special customized add-ons can be built to solve space limitations.
