NEPTUNE 4 FA

5.1.1 Soaking

Encrusted or thick layers of dirt can be loosened or softened up by a

period of soaking. This is for example an ideal method within agricul-

ture – for example, within pig sties. The ideal soaking method can be

achieved via use of foam or simple alkaline detergent. Let the product

lie on the dirty surfaces for around 30 minutes before pressure wash-

ing. The result will be a much quicker high pressure cleaning process.

5.1.2 Detergent and Foam

Foam or detergent should be applied onto dry surfaces so that the

chemical product is in direct contact with the dirt. Detergents are

applied from bottom to top, for example on a car bodywork, in order

to avoid “super clean” areas, where the detergent collects in higher

concentration and streams downwards. Let the detergent work for

several minutes before rinsing before rinsing but never let it dry on

the surface being cleaned.

5.1.3 Temperature

Detergents are more effective at higher temperatures. Greases, oils

and fats can be broken down more easily at higher temperatures

also. Proteins can be cleaned at temperatures of around 60°C. Oils,

trafﬁ c ﬁ lm around 70°C, and grease can be cleaned at 80°C - 90° C.

5.1.4 Mechanical Effect

In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical

effect may be required. Special lances and rotary or wash brushes

offer this supplementary effect that cuts through dirt.

5.1.5 High Water Flow or

High Pressure

High pressure is not always the best solution and high pressure

may damage surfaces. The cleaning effect also depends upon water

ﬂ ow. Pressure levels of around 100 bar may be sufﬁ cient for vehicle

cleaning (in association with hot water). Higher ﬂ ow levels give the

possibility to rinse and ﬂ ush away large amounts of dirt easily.
