Hi all
What do you reckon to the doff system. I know Darren has one been looking on the site.
It looks a good bit of kit and seems to have a lot of applications. Particularly like the idea of the roof cleaning and render/cladding cleaning.
I already dabble at these but don't feel properly equipped.
But can't help thinking a 8lpm pressure washer hooked onto a hotbox will do the same thing or am I missing something.
Cheers

I've bought a 30lpm cold , diesel, Zeta pressure washer and I will be using a 15lt hotbox with a 12lpm honda pressure washer, or I may even connect it to the zeta under low pressure, if that will work.
Heat will not be any better for render cleaning. As far as I can see, a doff will only be better than a hotbox for cleaning heritage stuff where it is required by the customer.
I hired a thermatech as they are only based around 10 miles away from me and carried out some tests. These machines are great, but I feel that for the type of work that I carry out a higher flow rate cold pressure washer was the better investment for my company.
There are some 'Falch guys' on here too, so I looked into these, but a trailer system would not be suitable for the majority of jobs I get in.
My new set up for 2015 I feel will be best for my line of work.

Good purchase mate. You wont be disappointed with the zeta.

I should be getting it Wednesday and I bought a 21 inch mossmatic, so they should work well together.
I'm just working out the layout of the van, I may need a big change up to maximise the space.

wow that will be some beast 30lpm your rsc will be like a hovercraft!

Hi
Cheers richy , I will do similar I already own several cold pressure washers. None the power of your zeta but 16lpm has always been sufficient for most of my work.
Which hotbox did you buy ?

you have a lack of work, yet you are thinking of buying a doff system - comment I think you are a crazy man ;D ;D

Buying a Machine WILL NOT get you any more work.
You need to understand how you can market your own business - this is the only way you will get more work.
We have 2 Doff machines - my guys use these mostly.
1 ZETA (been getting repaired for ages and its under 1 year old >:( )
1 FALCH T3H - not bad for some jobs - especially for cleaning car parks etc
Various other machines - used for different works.
