Line removal

Does anyone use Ultra High Pressure water systems, for line removal and surface cleanning? I'm talking in the range of 5-7000 PSI. LVHP(low volume high presure) ie: rubber from airport runways? I'm trying to locate an equipment supplier for this type of stand alone machine.

I have a 5000lb and a 6000lb both are 5.5gpm. One is a 25hp and the other is a 27hp. Both are Kohler motors. Just love both of them but neither will remove paint well enough without other attention i.e. scarifier, sand injection, etc.

We provide pressure washing and pavement marking/striping services. So we have on occasion removed stripes with our pressure washer (hot water, sodium hydroxide, and 3000+ psi. Works fairly well, especially if the paint is fresh. If there are multiple layers of paint, get ready for some work. However, we are currently working a job where we're following sandblasters and they are doing a remorkable job of not only removing the existing paint, but preparing the surface for a new coat. Good Luck,

Hey We used a 5000 psi with a turbo nozzle on some old lines this past month. The lines were not a pronblem The only problem we had (which was not a big one) was on the handicaps. Were the blue background was eazy it was just were the white color was on the blue. We had to sit there just a little longer. It is true that the pressure washer will leave marks were the old lines are but a scarifier will do the same. People don't really under stand what it takes to take up paint. No matter how much you tell them. it was a Department of Public Saftey job and they had not complained once.But I did tell them that with this option that the pressure washer will leave marks. Once we were done we had a sweeper go out and clean up all the old paint and parts of asphalt. -Dean
