recovery equipment

Chris and Nigel thanks for the info it was good talking to you. I will call about the filters when I get to that step in the process. The blower system is pretty straight foward it shouldn't be to hard to put together. the sediment tanks look to be pretty easy to put together the pump out and filters was my only concern but I think I have that figured out.

No problem Greg, keep us updated.

Dont forget to look at the design of Steel Eagle, they have some differences from the other units.

One big thing you need to do is build / get a vac release, with out that you will certainly implode, collapse, crush, damage or ruin most tanks, hoses and what not, you need to get one that not only can handle your particular level of vac power but one that can handle the cfms as well.

My system was purchased from Jerry at pressurewasher.net 1-800-400-clean it is 450 or so cfm at 16" and when you put the vac relief into full force you can see the drums pull into themselves.

I often run 600 foot of 2" with no problem, and it runs all day long like that. I will say that there is a certain amount of engineering that goes into building these systems, and maybe some modification could be done by the end user to meet their particular needs, but over all, it is probably a better idea to buy one from a manufacture.

I concur, its a lot of engineering, but could be done, most would be surprised of the power when the suction would not let go of their hand, lol
 
I know about the vacuum break,got it covered. I have a good grasp on the build my main concern was the filtration tank and how to set it up. I'm more concerned with getting the vac system built first then I'll work on the other stuff. If it turns out I can't build it myself then I'll buy one.

After talking with you Greg I feel yoiu have a good grasp and can get it done.

When you are ready to build the "Greggy" , lol I want one!!

I've already come up with the design for the filtration box. now I just need to source out some coalescing plates and floating filter pads.I looked at the steel eagle and the main thing I see thats different than others is the belt driven pump out.

Very true Greg, thats the one thing that the Sirocco did not incorporate, you still have to buy a generator to operate the electric, but Steel Eagle, Hot and Mighty, and Silver Eagle have the full pump out requirements built in.

There are a few manufacturers of plates, inclined and 90 degree, the main thing is to size it right for the influent rate and not to have any short circuit in the OWS. Oh and the more pre-settlement the better.
 
That looks stout! what are the specs? Do you have a motor and are you going to run all the airflow you can or is there a number you had in mind?

Here's a v-twin 3600 rpm diesel I was considering. Pros are its diesel so automatically sturdier? and cons its straight from China so unknown quality but inexpensive.

With those specs, I am sure you can easily run 2 vacuum surface cleaners or a vacuum surface cleaner and vacuboom from 200' to 300' away each.

Did Envirospec see anything it can improve on and put the "Iron Horse" label on their own build!

Paul?

I have heard one vac designer claim there is a flaw on this system, but that Hot and Mighty "WR2" system look solid to me too.

There is always something to improve on in any design...I can assure you though if John gets his hands on it there won't be much left to improve when he is done with it except maybe color choice.

John and I have been discussing this type of equipment and perhaps in the next year we will branch out a bit more, we will see nothing is decided yet.
