DEBIQUIP has extended its range of workshop equipment with the Portrop, a trolleymounted pressurised cylinder with a variety of fittings that gives the user controlled discharge of a wide range of fluids: degreasants, brake fluid or distilled water, using either flow-through brush, spraylance or on/off dispensing nozzle.
The Portrop consists of a 13 litre (2.86ga1) stainless steel container incorporating viton seals for wide chemical usage. Fitted with pressure gauge and on/off valve, the whole unit is fully portable being mounted on a strong, durable epoxy-painted trolley.
The Portrop is filled by removing the 101mm (4in) snaplock cover and pouring the liquid through a wide top opening. It is primed by fitting an air line to the self-sealing connector. A safety relief valve ensures automatic venting if internal pressure exceeds 130psi.
It incorporates a pull ring to vent residual pressure before recharging the container with fluid.
Once charged, the Portrop may be fitted with the required simple snap connecting attachment and is ready for immediate use. Fitted with the heavy duty flow-through brush, the Portrop may be used as a mobile degreaser to clean brake drums, engine and machine parts, electrical gear, or for insitu maintenance.
Fluid is caught in the stainless-steel recovery bowl and may be poured through the filter funnel for re-use after settling.
