Recycleaner Clean Capture & Recycle

How Does the Recycleaner Work?

The Recycleaner™ is a combination high pressure water cleaner and a powerful staged wet vacuum cleaner used in conjunction with a hand tool that utilises both systems simultaneously. A patented interlocking system allows the use of a powerful high pressure pump alongside a powerful vacuum system with supply from a single domestic outlet.

The cleaner functions by delivering high pressure cleaning liquid to the target surface through one or more nozzles built into the hand tool. The liquid delivered to the cleaning head is then retained within the cleaning head by the vacuum in combination with a brush/skirt arrangement. The staged vacuum system steps up in capacity automatically when the trigger is released on the hand tool. This system ensures extremely efficient recovery of the cleaning liquid. The liquid is sucked back into a separator section where it is separated from the airstream and returned to the water reservoir through a primary filter. The primary filter is a large bag manufactured from a tough filter fabric that traps most of the dirt returning to the machine. The pump draws the liquid from the reservoir through a secondary 20 micron cartridge filter for reuse. The polyester cartridge filter effectively removes all particulates from the “dirty” water before its reuse.

 

Various tools are available for different cleaning applications. The tools are connected to the cleaner body by way of a 50mm flexible vacuum hose with a coaxial HP water hose routed through the vacuum hose. Changing the tools is a simple matter of decoupling the HP water connection and vacuum hose-end from one cleaning head and swapping to the next. This is a simple 15 second hand operation.

 

 

The cleaner can be filled from a hose or preferably the vacuum head is lifted off allowing the bucket to be unclipped and lifted from the supporting trolley. A self opening and closing valve arrangement automatically disconnects and connects the water system of the cleaner to the bucket when it is lifted from and placed onto the trolley unit respectively. There is a domestic hose type inlet connection on the side of the cleaner. A 3-way valve allows the cleaner to be run directly from an external supply or from the bucket. In addition it provides a convenient facility to replenish the bucket in situ. In terms of its water supply the cleaner is quite versatile and capable of being used where there is no pressurised water supply. The pump is self priming and will even draw water from up to 3m below the pump level.

Inside the bucket on the inlet to the pump is a polyester cartridge filter that filters the cleaning water. The filter self purges of air when the bucket is filled and the cartridges are easily changed and cleaned when they become dirty. The bucket has a maximum capacity of 18 litres but can operate with as little as 7 litres. For most jobs 10 litres will suffice.

Washing Hard Surfaces

Use the floor tool, the edging tool or the hand tool depending on the application. Water consumption will be around 150 mls/m2 of flat horizontal non porous surface. The cleaner is particularly useful for cleaning applications where pooling of water is undesirable and/or run-off of detergent contaminated cleaning water is undesirable such as detailed cleaning of toilets, washrooms and kitchens where pressure washing is normally impossible because of water run-off and overspray. Around swimming pools and spas, inside commercial buildings - the applications are many!, the Recycleaner handles badly soiled non slip tiles and difficult to clean matt finish textured non slip tiles. In general the machine will clean non slip surfaces at the rate of 25-45 seconds per square metre.

The Recycleaner will clean mould and dirt off pavers and concrete. Adding an antimicrobial to the water will give added protection against regrowth of mould.

Removing Graffiti

Removing graffiti couldn't be simpler or greener. Apply Graffiti Remover to the graffiti and allow a few minutes for it to work. Then use the Recycleaner to remove the softened graffiti with a combination of high pressure water and brushing. All the graffiti, wash water and graffiti remover is vacuumed back to the reservoir of the cleaner and can then be disposed of appropriately. All the wash water is contained with no run-off or overspray.
