1200 psi portable
« on: September 01, 2006, 07:42:40 pm »
Did we read it correctly. The brochure from Alltec which includes details of a 1200 psi portable.

That's impressive, but did we read it correctly. Is there really sush a beast ?

If there was a beast like that what would you use if for?.Too much psi for carpets and upholstery and not enough for jet washing.

Little use having a pump pushing out any more than 500 psi for normal cleaning.

It is a 1200psi "portable" but it's for use with the hard floor tools in mind.

"The Olympus M1200 is designed primarily to make easy work of cleaning tile & grout when attached to the SX-12 tool"

Safe and happy cleaning :)
Ken

PS You may want to try a Powerflite/CFR Wonder Wand at that pressure, I know of some who run them @ 1000psi 8)

So I did read ( without specs ) 1200 psi but the brochure was binned before I got back to it.

I would tend to agree that it's unlikely you would ever use such pressure, but 1000 psi's  been around for years, from CFR and a few others, in the U.S.

The Cfr machine works in a totally different way to all other portables.

For cleaning patios I use a presure washer with 3000psi,1200 is not enough.

Peter,
Is it not the same machine that you got from Matt @ Cleansmart, and the same as the ones Woodbridge sell?
I think a few suppliers have got them but they all have different badges on them, are they not also the same as Mastercleans Rhino?
