Post by: Rob_Mac on January 28, 2014, 08:39:43 pm: I have joined another couple of forums, for another interest of mine - not business related.

Oh go on then I will tell you - don't tell anyone

I have always walked (I know we all walk but not as a leisure activity) but have really ramped up the mileage.

Also been improving my carried weight and am currently on ultralightweight hiking weight of 5kgs for an overnight wild camp

Wasn't expecting that were you?

It's not good to stress your body like that...why didn't you use your bus pass?

I have chewing gum removal machines.

One single operator, 240 volt machine & one 3 phase, twin operator machine.

They need treating with kid gloves.

If you are going to get into chewing gum removal I would suggest getting a hot box and a diesel pressure washer - second hand, easily for that price!

Chris

Do you struggle to walk from the sofa to the fridge for your White Lightning Cider? Is your belly getting you down. do you dribble and have food debris on your vest?

Rob ;D

Post by: Aqua Power Solutions on January 28, 2014, 09:26:23 pm: Rob, I am looking at a second hand hardly ever used Aquila 500 bar 30 ltr hotbox . Can you give me your opinion on them i.e quality , reliability , guide price ect ect . Ed

Just realised. They are fundamentally something for carpet cleaning and or small areas of chewing gum removal. I think that the write up is stretching it to say the least. Good luck if you can do 500 pieces of chewing gum per hour with a large machine like mine and or a hot pressure washer.

I'm not saying that you can't do those figures but not with that!

Aquilla are a highly regarded brand - I would certainly buy their products - 500 bar hotbox or 500 bar machine with hotbox?

Title: Re: Who knows about these
Post by: Aqua Power Solutions on January 28, 2014, 10:13:09 pm: Rob , GX390 13hp 250bar 15 ltr but would like to upgrade the interpump with a ws202 21 ltr , Ed
Title: Re: Who knows about these
Post by: Rob_Mac on January 28, 2014, 10:30:30 pm: What would the gain, if any be by running your machine through that particular hotbox.

I am not technical but I would suspect that it would not give you optimum performance because the hotbox is too big for the machine.

A great hotbox.

I am sure professor Ronald will point you in the right direction though!

Come on Chris

Rob ;D
