  • Patent number: 6378163
    Abstract: A surface cleaning and material removal system allows for the cleaning of applied or built-up coatings, debris, and any other matter from a surface. The surface cleaning and removal system includes a housing having a base with a wall extending obliquely therefrom. The base and wall define a cavity which covers the specific portion of the surface to be cleaned at that very moment, although the system is typically on wheels or portably movable so as to clean a very large surface in incremental portions. The system also includes a high-pressure-fluid mechanism for providing a high or ultra high pressure fluid flow against the surface to be cleaned where the mechanism includes either brushes or high pressure jets from which ultra high pressure water flows. In addition, the system includes a vacuum for moving all of the cleaning fluid and coatings, debris and any other matter from the cavity.

  • Patent number: 6129094
    Abstract: A method of cleaning surfaces so as to remove dirt, buildup, paint, asbestos, coating materials, or any other buildup or layer from the surface using a high fluid pressure cleaning for removing coatings and buildup from hard, often porous, and generally unpermeable surfaces such as brick, concrete, limestone, masonry, stone, asphalt, etc. Specifically, the method of surface cleaning involves high pressure water dispensation, or non-caustic chemical and then high pressure water dispensation via a number of different sized, shaped, and usage housings that include at least one rotating jet for applying the high pressure cleaning water that thereafter vacuumed out of the housing after cleaning by a high suction vacuum where the housing includes one or more rows of annular or peripheral sealing means such as brushes, rubber seals, rubber wipers, or other similar flexible yet sealing instruments.
