J.N. Equipment builds a number of different pressure washer models. This gives our customers more choices so they get a machine that meets their needs.
| are designed for contractors of all sizes. They all Feature aluminum frames, and offer direct drive, gear drive & belt drive options. | |
|
Direct drive |
is the most
economical means of power transmission. The pump is directly attached to engine, and they both turn at the same speed. Ideal usage is up to 3 times a week. |
|
Gear Drive |
pressure washers employ a mechanical transmission which reduces pump RPM by 50%. This equates to longer pump life. |
|
Belt Drive |
pressure washers reduce pump RPM by 50% via pulleys and belts. This also equates to longer pump life, and also keeps the pump cooler. |
|
The G.P.M. of a unit may be more important than the pressure depending on what type of work you are doing. The G.P.M. tells how fast the job will go. |
|
| <3 G.P.M. | would be for homeowners who are not concerned about the time involved in cleaning around the house |
| 3.0-3.5 G.P.M. | would be for small contractors/homeowners or those who need pressure for stripping paint, at the expense of G.P.M. |
| 4.0-5.0 G.P.M. | would be for most contractors and is the popular choice for most pressure washers |
| 5.5-8.0 G.P.M. > | would be for contractors who desire extra speed when cleaning as these units could cut your job time in half |
|
Example 1 |
| A homeowner wants a pressure washer to use around the house on the weekends for cleaning the house and their car. |
| We may recommend an Comet Commercial Series HP2230-HTD, this unit has 2000 P.S.I. (light general cleaning) @ 3.0 G.P.M. (homeowner) |
|
Example 2 |
| A contractor wants a pressure washer for cleaning houses & buildings. They may need to strip off some old paint. |
| We may recommend a Cat, Comet or general commercial series (pump brand personal preference) such as a HP3545-HPG, HC4040-HTG or HC4040-HGD, these unit all have 3500 P.S.I. (strong cleaning) @ 4.0 G.P.M. (standard speed) |
|
Example 3 |
| A contractor says that the pressure washer he has now is too slow. His unit cleans fine, but he does roofs & driveways and can't clean more than 2 roofs in a day. He still has 78 roofs left to do. |
| We would recommend calling JN Equipment about a custom built unit which may have 8.0 G.P.M. (very fast cleaning), and he should be able to cut his time by 50% doing twice as many jobs in a day. |
