Concrete surface cleaner

[George Bowman]

I’m looking for an industrial surface cleaner like the one shown below to clean a long driveway. For years, I’ve used a power washer, but it takes a couple of days to complete the job. Normally, I’ve be able to find about any tool in Thailand by using the Bamboo Grapevine, but not in this case.

 

Yes, I could order one from the states, but the import fees are almost as much as the commercial B20,000 unit is, so I’m trying to avoid that route. Thai Google will show a few plastic units for B2,000 and I’m thinking they will last about two weeks. Any suggestions?

Hire some workers and use hydrochloric acid  with scrub brushes and a hose. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/5-20-i3638240961-s13660226577.html?freeshipping=1&search=1&spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.22

^ Don't forget to hire workers with wellies.

There is a company in Thailand west of Bangkok that make them.

You can also order them through Lazada. I also saw them once at Do Home but then later they were gone. Maybe Thai Watsadu has them as well.

That is not the item that is being searched for. It is an attachment for a pressure washer that is needed. The items your post links to would be worn out in very short order on rough concrete

Have you try turbo nozzle

 

Can give very fast cleaning with good power gasoline pump

 

Important nozzle size selected for output of pump

This is the kind of cleaning, the big machine is good for lighter cleaning. The turbo for the older more stubborn stuff

Pressure washer does the job well without any harmful chemicals.

 

I bought a Haier for around 7000 and it does the job well.  I was initially going to buy a Bosch at 11,000 because of course it must be far higher quality than a Chinese made machine.  That was until I looked at the label on the Bosch machine - Made In China! Hard to but anything that's not Chinese these days.

If you're looking only for the item with the blue arrow; Lazada has them for about 1,300b or google "high pressure washer rotary surface cleaner"

And for a lot less you can get the 1 I got

it was a risk that it would be c*a*r*p but at that price a small one. It isn’t bad at all

AliExpress has something similar to OP, but it will run about 15,500b

The problem with that is although it is exactly what is wanted, the pressure pump required to run it effectively  will probably cost 5 times as much. Something like this may be better

Jeez that is cheap.  You wouldn't be upset if that packed up after 6 months if you'd got 6 months work out of it.

Thanks for this as I have searched and searched to no avail. Will give it a shot and see.
