Hi Mike,
Thanks for the offer, I was looking at the pictures on the photostock websites and they are not great.
I need an image thats 300 dpi, because they need that for printing. Didnt realise they needed 300 dpi for A5 flyer, thats all i needed for my van graphics.
Any how I tried to upload my flyer to give you an indicator of the kind of thing I was looking for, but it wont allow me, it keeps coming back that the uploader is full. >:(
Ill try again later when the mods have sorted it out as I know they will  ;D

Bren.

You're trying to upload the old way. Look above where you type your reply and you'll see a box entitled 'SELECT FILES'. This is how you now upload pictures.

Nice job there Mike!!

When I first looked at the top picture I thought it was a garden!!!

My eye picked up the couple of roots still sticking out between the blocks and I would have certainly blown these out with a turbo nozzle.

Good before and after pics Mike, very impressive.

Rob this whole job was turbo lanced but I made a judgement call that to keep at those weeds as it  would have undermined the sets, they were really thick.

The full job had a good dose of weedkiller  so they would die off anyway

I am looking at another set up running around 60LPM on a single operator or split across two operators between 27 and 30 LPM. When I get this set up I will be spending some money getting a clip on bar for the van/s and will start off with 6 available nozzle holders and may go down to four on turbo nozzles.

The recovery option on this will be relatively straightforward with a vacuum port on the rear of it, with a slight opening at the back of it.

Housing it might be a different issue - that will need some work.

I have the basic set up sorted in my head and believe that it will be straight forward but I cannot do anything till I have the vacuum recovery in place and the right vacuum to suck the hell out of the black top!!!!!

Rob ;D

What is a clip on bar? Does it serve drinks?

But with the set up being in motion it will act like a roadsweeper if you mean by vacuuming up in motion to recycle. A roadsweeper picks up loose stone etc therefore to that extent you'll need to 'tip off'. My bro in law has a dust suppression truck which is basically a 5,000 gallon tanker with engine/pump mounted on side pumping out through spray bar on front bumper. Something similar would be good with a bigger engine and pump but the recovery would be difficult.

Another way big money though would be to buy a 'Runway rubber removal' truck. Which are the dogs mate but if you had one of them or I did we would pack in cleaning stores etc and earn £2,000 a day driving up and down a runway creaming it.

Yeh mate if you like drinking from a turbo nozzle!  ;D

Rob is after equipping one of his vans out with a bar attached to front to clean supermarket car parks faster but at high pressure and recovering the water.

Spot on their Lee

The difference will be the pre filter - this may need emptying more than once per day!!
