Tommy 2.0 Blower Blast Gate

Installed directly along the air ducting or blower outlet stack, this blast gate features a sliding damper plate that allows operators to finely adjust or completely shut off air delivery from individual blower motors. Custom airflow balance is critical for achieving spot-free drying while optimizing energy consumption. By adjusting the gate position, wash managers can dial in precise CFM and air velocity across top producers, side producers, and hip blowers to match varying vehicle profiles or seasonal weather conditions. During motor maintenance, belt swaps, or arch servicing, closing the blast gate isolates the specific blower housing to prevent backdrafting and protect equipment.

Key features and benefits include:

• Precision Airflow Adjustment: Sliding gate design allows smooth, step-less control over air volume to calibrate drying efficiency across the tunnel.
• Corrosion-Proof Construction: Built to withstand constant exposure to high-humidity car wash bay atmospheres, chemical overspray, and harsh outdoor air intakes.
• Integrated Locking Mechanism: Holds the gate securely in position once tuned, preventing vibration-induced drifting during heavy wash cycles.
• Tommy 2.0 System Native: Designed to fit directly into Tommy 2.0 blower housings and arch air ducting without custom adapters or modifications.
• Maintenance Isolation: Enables quick isolation of individual blower units during routine servicing or motor repairs without shutting down the entire dryer bank.
