what size burner etc
« on: October 20, 2020, 05:22:39 pm »
Hi All.
I am going hot, or at least that's the plan. I have a trailer set up with a 500 litre tank and 21lpm Honda {as per 95% of peeps}, i want to be able to offer steam cleaning as an option. Not necessarily running the machine at full chat but up around the 18 lpm.
Should I be looking at Mazzoni's  25lpm? Ideally I would like advice from guys who have one already and can suggest what genny and what to avoid etc.
Cheers

Yes - the general consensus is always go higher lpm- I have 2 Mazzoni hot boxes - you can do great work with them

A1 pressure washers have a really good deal on at present so if your serious I'd go to them now

Depending on what version you get - 240v - 110v or a 12v will determine a genny the 12v only need a battery to run or inverter off the van and the other 2 just a suitcase genny of 1kva

Cheers Darran.
Did you need to upgrade your hoses when moving to hot?

Going to make the investment and no doubt buy all the wrong bits as usual.
