Method
1. Apply thick foam over the surfaces to be cleaned.
Apply on dry surfaces. Apply from top to bottom on
vertical surfaces. Let the foam act for up to 30 minu-
tes for the optimal effect.
2. After this time, clean down with the high pressure
lance or relevant accessory. Use high pressure to
dislodge large amounts of incrusted dirt or grime.
Use lower pressure and high water volume in order
to rapidly fl ush away loose dirt and rinse surfaces.
3. Apply DES 3000 disinfectant once the surfaces are
perfectly clean.
Areas covered by amounts of loose dirt, such as animal
remains in slaughterhouses, can be removed by using
high water fl ow to fl ush away the dirt to evacuation pits
or drains.
Tank cleaning heads can be used to clean barrels, vats,
mixing tanks etc. Cleaning heads may be hydraulically
or electrically powered and give the possibility for auto-
matic cleaning without a constant user.
1. Connect the sandblasting lance to the pressure
washer and place the suction tube in the sand.
2. Always wear protective equipment during sandbla-
sting.
3. Spray the surfaces to be treated with the mix of
water and sand. Rust, paint etc will be stripped off.
4. Following sandblasting, protect surfaces against rust
(metal) or rot (wood).
