What it is

The Recycleaner™ VP24-C Series Cleaner is a combination high pressure water cleaner and a powerful staged wet vacuum cleaner used in conjunction with a cleaning tool that utilises both systems simultaneously. A patented interlocking system allows the use of a powerful high pressure pump alongside a powerful staged vacuum system with supply from a single domestic outlet.

How it functions

The cleaner functions by delivering high pressure cleaning liquid to the target surface through one or more nozzles built into the hand tool. The liquid delivered to the cleaning head is then retained within the cleaning head by the vacuum in combination with a brush/skirt assembly. The staged vacuum system steps up in capacity automatically when the trigger is released on the cleaning tool. This system ensures extremely efficient recovery of the cleaning liquid. The liquid is sucked back into a separator section where it is separated from the airstream and returned to the water reservoir through a primary filter. The primary filter is a fabric filter traps most of the dirt returning to the machine. Disposable filters or reusable filter fabrics are available. The high pressure pump draws the liquid from the reservoir through a secondary 20 micron polyester cartridge filter for reuse. The resulting filtered cleaning liquid is suitable for reuse by the pump and is clean of particulates capable of blocking the nozzles in the cleaning tool. Both filters are housed within the reservoir so there is no need to carry wet dripping filters to places of disposal.

The base module solution reservoir can be filled from a hose or preferably the vacuum head is lifted off allowing the reservoir to be unclipped and lifted from the supporting trolley. A self opening and closing valve arrangement automatically disconnects and connects the solution system of the reservoir to that of the pump when the reservoir is removed or replaced respectively. There is a domestic hose inlet connection on the side of the base module. A 3-way valve allows the cleaner to be run directly from an external supply or from the reservoir. In addition it provides a convenient facility to replenish the reservoir in situ. In terms of its water supply the cleaner is quite versatile and capable of being used where there is no pressurised water supply. The pump is self priming.

What it can do

All wetted parts of the Recycleaner are manufactured from corrosion resistant materials. The specially engineered heavy duty pump is of stainless steel and bronze construction. Now because of its corrosion resistant construction and the ability to filter and recycle the cleaning liquid the machine can be used with high and low pH cleaning liquids. The effectiveness of both the high pressure cleaning and the chemical itself is now significantly improved as the cleaning chemical is forced at high velocity into and under dirt deposits.  As the chemical is continually recycled and reused the Recycleaner gets the most out of what chemical is added and keeps it retained within the system for responsible disposal. Add antimicrobials to the water for a combined all in one pressure wash and sanitising action.

What tools can you use with it

Various tools are available for different cleaning applications. The tools are connected to the cleaner body by way of a 40mm flexible vacuum hose with a coaxial HP solution hose routed through the vacuum hose. This construction means you effectively only have a single hose and being concentric it will not resist bending in any direction. Changing tools is a simple matter of decoupling the quick release solution hose coupling and vacuum hose-end from one cleaning head and swapping to the next. This is a simple 10 second operation.

maintenance made easy

The Recycleaner VP24-C series has been designed, trialled and improved over the last few years by an engineer who knows only too well the problems caused by difficult and lengthy maintenance procedures. That is why the newly released C3 model is designed to be modular in its construction that enables faulty components to be swapped out as part of an easily changed module. For example the vacuum motors are housed in a separate module that simply unplugs from the base module. Similarly the high pressure pump that is probably the highest maintenance item in the machine can now be changed in a 15 minute operation using a 5mm allen key and a pair of polygrips. The reservoir assembly and the electrics are similarly in modular form.

So given that your local supplier carries spare rebuilt modules there should be no need for your machine to be out of operation awaiting maintenance.
