Simon Smith Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Have you tried Pressure Clean in Crawley, they appear to be Karcher agents judging by the HUGE sign on the front. Don't have their address or phone No other than that they are in Gatwick Road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonr Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Of course, that would be a good use for a little of your 'grit mountain' If it works - I'll be tempted too! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nas90 Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 Of course, that would be a good use for a little of your 'grit mountain'If it works - I'll be tempted too! Si With 20 tonnes of the stuff stacked in my yard, obviously great minds think alike! Also it's wet so I cannot use it in a dry shot blasting cabinet. I bought the Karcher from Trafalgar in Crawley but cannot see any reference to wet grit blasting on their web site. Just in general terms does anyone have experience of wet grit blasting? what grit to use? any drawbacks? presumably parts need painting very rapidly after blasting to prevent rust forming? BTW it's a Karcher HDS 551C not a 501 on my original post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicksmelly Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I've used one at work, on a small domestic jet wash for cleaning the rotting gunge and rusty paint off a waste compactor. I used normal sand, but the sand had to be very dry for it to suck up the feed tube to the nozzle. It did a very good job, a lot better with the sand than just water. Took rusty paint off back to bare metel, not shiny as it made it a matt finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst looking on the net for wet grit attachments, found this list of usefull info if you are considering buying a machine. BTW our waterjet machine at work has an index of 26.3 (4150 bar / 3.8litre/min) and you do not hand hold the baby! link http://www.diyfaq.org.uk/electrical/pressu...her_faq.htm#Top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
