Anyone have experience using UHP 40,000 psi to strip pavers ?


Have a few larger projects I am contacting using this type of equipment.

I would estimate going rate would be .75 cents a square foot for what wet sandblast guys charge but they cant compete in consistency and speed of UHP plus resealing around $1 to $1.50.

Have not done this type of work yet wondering if they use full 40k or much less you can dial a UHP pump down to 6000 about minimum.
 
Its a large area, already have the UHP equipment. The strippers are messy smelly and cost $$ up to $40 for 200 sq feet, with UHP its water my fuel cost and wear parts for the pump and tools.
 
Machinery like that can go "up to" 40K psi. To effectively strip pavers you would realistically need a whole lot less psi or you till blow the paver apart. He is probably using closer to 3000-4000 psi in that video. A good paint/coating stripper and a water recovery surface cleaner is the norm.

Yes I have similar equipment lowest you can get is around 6000 to 10000 psi.

They are designed to run around 25,000 to 40,000 psi

The floor cleaner has about 15 jets on a spray bar that runs around 2000 rpm on air, The spinning action reduces damage of the UHP, you dont want to be stationary with the floor blaster. This is the same set up to take striping off asphalt which is very soft compared to concrete pavers with no damage.
 
Heres mine
