So, you’re implying you’re a premium cleaner, not a premium mechanic!
the pulley @1650.. not the actual blower??
The vacuum on a truckmount is about a lot of things other than blower size and motor size.
You do need a motor that has enough horsepower to keep up with the design of the system, but the plumbing, pulleys, system vac relief, tank and filter design are ALL part of the correct equation.
How else do you think my system is capable of running 2 wands at #12 flow total with neither tech being able to tell there is another wand on the truckmount operating, supplying smokin' hot temps to each wand?
Picture?My slide-in TM that I purchased new in 1984 from Cleaning Technologies in Georgia.
It was completely re-designed but still uses a Cat 290 high pressure pump - 60-1200 PSI @ 3.5 GPM, a Roots #45 blower over-driven but runs at 3000 RPM to conserve fuel, and still puts out full CFM and lift. It uses a 240,000 BTU auto light LP heater with 5000 PSI coil for long life and an afterburner circuit to make it more efficient (even heat with no heat spikes ever).
She has way over 20,000 hours and runs like a new one.
The key to a powerful and long lasting machine is simplicity, top notch components, and a free flowing path at both the suction end and the discharge end of the vacuum blower.Picture?
