Pro Chem Performer/405

[John Olson]

Ok here is the video of the last one we did. That's Polyeurea (bed liner) on the frame. Being that I added Utah Custom Linings as a DBA to our business it was cost effective and after a year it is still holding up better then if we had powder coated it.

Good deal or bad deal all depends on condition. If the governor is bad that's a grand. Lots of machine out there that when the governor goes they never replace them. Same with HX'ers lots of guys just by pass them and run off the cat HX. You could end up with a mint machine or a money pit. Does the blower knock at all? Does the pump pulse? Pulsation dampener is another thing people don't replace like they should. Does the Chem Pump work correctly? How about the Peter Paul valve? I can go on and on. When we do a ground up restoration we sell them for around 10k but they look and run like brand new. Lots of pictures in mikeysboard

That really puts it into perspective. With all the work of transferring it into a van, then trying to sell the trailer, then not knowing the true overall condition of the unit, even with the exchange the way it is now, it would make more sense to drive down to you and buy one. The one out here has recently been serviced by the dealer but that doesn't always mean that much.

I have a question, I have always heard pretty good things about the PC 405 but I was going through the online manuals and was wondering why the 405 was sold as a dual wand unit?

The motor is a 4 banger so I can see better BTU's from that, it also had another blower HX added.
What is kinda odd to me is it has the same 4M-L blower as my PC Legend SE.

The 405 manual says the rpms on that blower were set at 2650 rpms.

On my legend the same 4M-L blower in the manual says it is spinning at 3195 rpms ?

I am guessing that the 405 just had better heat and this made poeple think it was more powerful?

The manual is s performer and a performer 405,

The performer has 4.5 blower the 405 has. 47 blower

Someone already answered you but your not looking at the 405 manual your looking at a performer. Same Animal different species. Go back and read it again

The manual is one in the same performer/ performer 405!

I always questioned how much performance the 405 really has. I know it is one of the most popular Prochem units made. If you look back in the archives you can find where one guy went to a SS 370 and he like it better than his 405.

Lift setting make some noobs confused!

Well I went back and looked,....scrolled down one more page, I didn't realize the two were different but yep the 407 does have a bigger blower 47. So this makes much more sense now. I think one of these, if found clean would be a nice single wand unit.
Thanks guys.

I went from a pc legend to a 405.

Major vacuum and unlimited heat!

Way better then a legend!

I also pushed my 405 to 15hg

As for dual wanding I don’t do it with my pro1200 or 570

My WM has a knocking 56 at times but I turned up the RPM a little. It locks down real good but I wouldn't dual wand with it even at 100 foot. For one the set up time would be a waste at 100 foot and the dry tine would be a lot less. Better to keep the other scrubbing in the prespray and pulling hose. Imo

All sprayed in bedliner is Polyurea. The differences are what % the product is. We only spray 100% and the brand name of the Product is Full Metal Jacket Ultra but I prefer to Promote my Brand Utah Custom Linings
