MAKING ITS debut at Garagequip '79 is the Kew B5 brake cleaner which is designed to wash hazardous asbestos dust from vehicle brakes with a stream of hot water and detergent.
The unit measures 60.9cm by 53.34cm (2ft by 1.75ft) and is under 92cm (3ft) high. Water and detergent is stored in a 23 litre (5.1 gallon) tank which is heated to any pre-set temperature between 35° and 95°C (95 and 203°F). The water container is then pressurised to 586 kN/sqm (85 psi) to provide the low pressure jetting action.
The B5 has 10m (33ft) of electric cable and for safety reasons is disconnected from the mains electricity supply during use. For easy manoeuvring the unit is fitted with wheels.
Manufacturer is Kew Sales Company Ltd, Carleton, Penrith, Cumbria. Tel: 0768 65777.
