CleanCo 56 8500hrs worthy as backup?

[bmxin]

I've always been a Prochem/legend with recent Legend GT doing very good...

Does anyone have that real unbiased long term review of Cleanco? What kind of fuel usage? Parts availability etc.

I'm currently doing all the gaskets/seals on Legend and wanted something to fill the void instead of Mytee/generator

The Cleanco is a very reliable machine. You don’t have to worry too much about it. The weak point will be the van.

Inspect the wastetank for corrosion and leaks i generally figure 500 hours per year 8500hrs would to me suggest that the machine is 16-17 years old. Old enough to to start looking for things like that machine can look and run fine but if tje wastetank goes its eighter a herby rig fix or big bucks for a replacement tank

I've actually taken out a Cleanco tank and fibreglassed it. It's a pain but can be done. I've done a Hydramaster tank as well.

Is the 47 a better balanced machine for an often single operator?

Would the 56 require a higher idle/more fuel?

How exactly does the electronic idle work?

They do have another that's quite a bit less hrs (3100) and that's a 47. Considerably more$ it's a 2012...6liter vs 5liter

Useful to know about fiberglass to SS waste tank...

I've never had a 56 but I hear the serpentine belt wears out faster. I've had 2-47's and they were very reliable, powerful and hot enough. I would go for a newer 47 if that's an option for you.

I would go 47. Cleanco runs blower speed at 2800rpm 47 blower is rated max 3600 where as a 56 maxes out at 2850 . Both are rated #225° max operating temperatures. For me, im old school i prefer greasing front bearing opposed to oil bath. Over the years ive noticed alot of newer blowers in scrap piles compared to old school grease bearings blowers.i have a 47 right now in good working condition with over 11k on it. Since 1983 ive only run sutorbilt and roots blowers (grease able) and have had only 1 fail in 42 years.
