No more Stripes when surface cleaning!!!
Check tips
1. damaged orifice
2. debris stuck in tips
3. warn out tips
4. tips out of balance from hitting objects
Spray bar
1. angles are correct
2. bars are balanced and not bent
3. no damage to bars
Shaft & Rotary union
1. lubrication to shaft
2. lubrication to union if able
3. make sure union is tight and no play in the shaft
I have found that when you have check most of the above the number one problem is wear or damage orifice.
With your eye you turn your surface cleaner over and look at the tips, it seems your nozzles are spraying even. With your naked eye you cannot see that the orifice has been altered just enough to disburse a micro zero area that causes this what most call striping. It’s simply spraying a small area with greater pressure, that causes and uneven cleaning.
Yes over using chemical can cure it by using the chemical to help the less PSI area clean as good as the tiny area that is applying more PSI.
Doubling over the cleaning area is another cure for fixing the stripes. I’m here to tell you this is not necessary if your surface cleaner is running properly.
I tested many brands when surface cleaners where being invented. The factory sent them to me because phoenix is hot. The experience and things I learned working with the engineers who invented these machines was valuable.
The tips you should be using where originally invented for parts washers. Inside of a parts washer the debris and often the parts would strike the nozzle. Of course in parts washer’s not so critical if the orifice was damaged. Regardless they needed to get more wear out the tips. A parts washer tip has a protected area and the orifice is damage less.
I say this is not the only reason but the one many here and elsewhere do not understand.
It’s simply the number one reason and many false cures can fix it. It’s as simple as using the protected tips and changing them first when problem starts. (Unless it’s something more obvious of course)
