thank you gavin, much appreciated!
the sound and picture quality is not the best but for as long as i been doing this kinda stuff, these are my first vids
the first video is what 400cfm (hepa filters still on motors) sounds like rushing thru a 4" hose. the hose is connected to the hypervac i've had for many years, have used as a duct cleaning back-up machine, a wet dry vac, a booster vac, dryer vent vac, and all around shop vac. i came up with the idea for the machine, but an old duct cleaning buddy actually built it.
it originally had 2 big vac motors, and a reversable cable drive motor, to propell a 35' hose/cable combo to aid in the cleaning of main trunk lines.
the machine now has 4 vac motors, no cable drive motor, and as time allows, i'll install a pump-out, and if it fits in the motor housing, i may install a direct connect to faucet pressure pump. i've already used it with one of my high-flow conversion kits to test on my own carpets, and the extraction power is nothing short of 36 TM. without the hepa filters, the cfm is close to 450. i need to get me a lift guage to test for lift but i estimate the lift to be 200, give or take.
one drawback with the metal housing is how it holds and radiates the heat from the motors so cooling fans are a must.
you'll see in the other short video of the machine being only 2 power cords running on straight 110 circuits.
i plan on building a 220 volt machine, and see just how far i can take the power curve.
the 3rd and 4th videos are my guys doing a pressure steam clean at a food market. this is something i used to do many years ago, but being it is commercial, back then i gave it up cause i do not like waiting to get paid.
with the turn of events in my work life, and not being able to do the work anymore, i put the shoe on the other foot.
this was/is a test job, as is a floor crew to wash and clean the floors daily. if it goes well, this particular company operates 30 stores, and if my negotiating skills are good enough, it'll be a fantastic score.
i have a vid of my lil peruvian friend (he did the dryer vents for me at the big condo complex 2 yrs ago) doing a strip and wax, then buffing out with an aztec propane powered burnisher.
i'll see if i find it and hopefully gavin will be nice enough to help me out again!
i have no clue who's pooch that is at the end
