Anyone have one of these?
Tricks or tips?
Planning on using Easiway 842 Screen/Press wash...
We didn't know to get the squeegee holder with the unit, so we will free hand today
and try to clean us some squeegees..Not sure how the winged floods will works, but will give it
a good college try..
Wondering if this will make our regular flood/squeegee parts cleaner sink obsolete.

Great tool that will make your production floor life easier.
We have found IR-4 from Satti Chem mixed 3 parts water to 1 part IR-4 provides a great mix.
Avoid putting too much liquid in the unit and don't spin the wheels too fast of you will have a rooster tail of sludge shooting on the floor and you.
The IR-4 also minimizes the foaming/bubbling that some of the other products we have tried creat.
Enjoy,

it works great..we have had one since they came out...my guys love them and it is a breeze to clean them now.
-
We really dig ours, it see's 20-30 squeegees a day & we reuse a lot of them before cleaning. We have beat the heck out of it for two years now & it still keeps doing the job. At first I was a bit worried about the brushes not lasting but there still going, a bit beat up but going.

Had mine for a year and a half. Works great.

They are pretty nice. As was already said, lower fluid levels and slower turning give better results.
The squeegee holder is not necessary at all, also skip the adapter for a drill if they still sell it.

Yep, go with 3/4 of a gallon (1 qt cleaner to 2 qts water) if you are using the IR-4 or the kinder/gentler IR-14... I don't know the mix ratio on the 842, but I would start with a lighter mix (probably 2 water to 1 chem) and work up from there if it doesn't clean easily. It looks like the 842 is pretty harsh though, so as long as the MSDS doesn't have an issue mixing with water, I would start there. Contact your sales rep for proper dilution methods and shoot for 3/4 of a gallon total.
And thank you for all the positive reviews folks! We love hearing good things!

We got one a few months ago. We find that it splatters degrader everywhere. We're needing to buy some shower curtains or something, but i haven't gotten around to it. It you don't mind the splatter it's great. It just makes our floor slippery. So far ours has been sitting unused for months waiting for me to figure out the splatter problem.

We had the EXACT problem, trust me try this-
Fill it only so maybe 1/4" of the bottom of the brushes are in the degradent. Then turn the handle SLOW.
I didn't like ours right off the bat, but one day I stayed late when we had a bad storm, after 1.5hrs I figured it out!

Don't listen to Alex, he doesn't know what he's talking about. Just sell it to me for cheap! ;)

I'll give it another shot.

Be sure to crank counter clockwise and fast as you can... If that doesn't work, I'll take it off your hands. ;)

Then there was the BladeRunnner. Believe it or not all this time and no offers!

Anyone interested in a slightly used Squeegee Clean model at a pretty good discount? We have a barely used model that is being offered up at $450... I can pass details on to the seller if you are interested.

Lid or no lid? Shipping included?
-
Pretty sure it is box only - no lid - and shipping you would have to work out with the seller. They are pretty light though, so shipping shouldn't kill you.

Mr. Shurloc,
Are replacement brushes available? Preferably a slightly stiffer brush?
Thanks.

Can you email me the seller's information? I'm interested.
-
@kingscreen - I think it might be gone... I'll check with the seller and make sure it's ok to pass on the info.
@ebscreen - We only have the stock brushes at the moment... Do you need something more aggressive or are they bending on you?
-
YEah sorry brother, I snagged that bad boy up!!! ;D

I have the same question as well. Don't really need a stiffer brush but wouldn't hurt. I guess my question would be, is this a quick & easy replacement? & how much $ for replacement brushes?
-
I don't know that the brushes are flexing or anything, I'm not running the machine at all,
but when I first used it, it seemed like a slightly stiffer brush might get into the "corners" a bit
better. Not that I'm complaining, the thing's great.
-
You can replace the brushes in the unit, but they run about $25 a piece to do it. That makes a full set about $100. On the flip side, if you would like us to do them, you can fire the box back to us and we can replace the entire innards for $150. That includes all the bearings, shafts and brushes.
We do have a few stiffer bristle options available, but what we found is that they can actually damage the softer squeegees if the bristles get too aggressive. These would have to be done on an customized basis and would be a bit more cash to switch out to.

Should have my squeegee cleaner in tomorrow!!! Excited to give it a spin, literally lol. Been holding off on any cleanings so that we can put it to the test.
