A MOBILE wash from Laycock Garage Equipment has a threein-one capability of hot or cold water washing and steam cleaning.
For hot water and steam cleaning the machine uses a paraffin-fuelled burner. Should there be an interruption in the flow, a solenoid valve will cut off fuel to the burner unit.
The main lance is used for high-pressure work, and another for detergents.
When water is diverted back through the main lance, the detergent flow cuts off. Detergent can also be controlled by a valve on the washer panel.
It has 9m (29ft 2in) hose line stored by coiling round a built-in frame. Water and paraffin tanks contain 11 litres (21/2gal) and 22 litres (5gal) of fluid respectively. At the maximum flow rate of 11/litres (21/2gals) per min the water pressure is 86bar (1,250psi) and water temperature is 85-90 degrees.
