Power Washers - Paint Removal Applications



Removing old paint, graffiti, and painting “accidents” is a difficult task unless you use the right equipment. Daimer® offers topnotch power washers used for removing a variety of dirt and chemicals from concrete, metal, stone, granite, fiberglass, and other hard surfaces.

Daimer®’s power washers offer high temperatures and pressure levels to blast the dirt right off the surface. Much of this dirt includes the buildup of grease, pollutants, burnt hydrocarbons, molds, algae, and post-construction residual mortar. With the addition of a good detergent, these power washers are able to remove much of graffiti, grease, and paint.

When graffiti, rust, corrosion, and chemical layers are too difficult to remove using a spray of water, you can use power washers with wet sandblasting systems, such as Daimer®’s Super Max™ 9000 WS, to clear away spots of paint and corrosion. Daimer®’s machines use wet sandblasting rather than the more conventional dry sandblasting. Wet sandblasting has certain advantages over the dry method:
• No sand dust
• Minimal protective gear
• No risk of respiratory problems due to sand inhalation
• More streamlined sand spray

Daimer®’s power washers are appropriate for many applications besides paint and graffiti removal. The Super Max™ 9000 WS, with a pressure level of 1500 psi and flow rate of 2.8 GPM, is one of many wet sandblasting power washers from Daimer®. In addition to temperature levels as high as 250°F, this machine has a durable, high performance heating coil that converts cold water to hot water in just 30 seconds. (Note: Do not use the wet sandblasting feature with hot water.Only cold water should be mixed with sand to create the blasting medium.) This enables the user to utilize this machine for many purposes other than sandblasting, such as removal of heavy layers of grease, molds, and other dirt.
