Basics
How does the
Sola-Tecs W work?
The Sola-Tecs W system consists of a
brush roller with a gearbox housing on
the right and left, a water turbine drive,
a pendulum tube that reduces vibra-
tions from the cleaner to the operator,
and a guying system which, together
with the guide rollers, enables safe
and precise control of the cleaner. The
Sola-Tecs W is available in cleaning
widths of 800 millimetres and 1,000
millimetres.
A high-pressure hose with a nominal di-
ameter of 8 is absolutely necessary for
operation. This high-pressure hose is
used to lower the Sola-Tecs W from the
roof ridge and pull it back up again.
The energy is supplied by high-pressure
water generated by a high-pressure
cleaner. The high-pressure water is
sprayed onto the turbine wheel on the
right and left via a ceramic nozzle in
the gearbox housing. This converts the
impact energy into mechanical work.
After the drive work, the water is used
to moisten and wash off the surface to
be cleaned. The water used to operate
the cleaner must be ultra-pure. This wa-
ter must be largely free of any minerals.
The quality of the water can be deter-
mined using a TDS meter. The maxi-
mum conductivity of the water must not
exceed 30 μS/cm (20 ppm).
This is important in order not to create
deposits on the cleaned surface and
to avoid damage to the water turbine
drive due to grinding effects.
