Mat Washer Vacuum Motor 120 Volt
Keep your floor mat cleaning stations performing at peak water-extraction capacity. The Bison Ametek Lamb 116472-13 2-Stage Tangential Bypass Vacuum Motor is a high-performance, commercial-grade motor engineered specifically for high-moisture air extraction systems. It serves as a direct factory replacement vacuum motor inside specialized Mat Washers deployed at Tommy Car Wash Systems.
Car wash mat cleaning equipment subjects vacuum motors to demanding conditions, pulling continuous streams of damp air and moisture away from heavy rubber and carpeted vehicle mats. Unlike generic dry-vacuum motors that short circuit when exposed to humidity, this industrial tangential bypass motor completely isolates the working motor windings from the vacuum air stream. Moisture and extracted air are safely expelled out through the dedicated side horn discharge, protecting the electrical core from water damage and corrosion while delivering consistent, high-lift extraction power.
Key features and benefits include:
- Moisture-Isolating Bypass Design: Tangential bypass architecture ensures that damp air and fine water vapor pulled from freshly washed mats never touch the motor windings, preventing electrical shorts and premature failure.
- Heavy-Duty Tangential Horn Discharge: Features a robust thermoset horn profile designed to guide exhaust air and moisture safely away from the motor chassis.
- Sealed Double Ball Bearings: Permanently lubricated, dirt-sealed ball bearings shield the internal rotation core from fine car wash grit, dust, and humidity, significantly extending overall brush and motor life.
- High-Lift 2-Stage Fan System: Deploys a precision-balanced, dual-fan construction that delivers a massive 106.7 inches of sealed water lift and 112 CFM of airflow to extract water out of thick floor mats instantly.
- Rugged Construction: Built with an aluminum commutator bracket and high-strength thermoset housing to withstand vibration and ambient heat within tight car wash backroom layouts.

When installing your replacement motor, do not over-tighten the mounting screws or structural brackets. Excess torque can warp the aluminum fan casing, forcing it into the spinning fan blades and permanently damaging the motor internals.
