Abstract
The present invention 10 discloses a high pressure printing press ink cleaner comprising a vacuum header housing 20 having wheels 22 secured thereon for mobility. A water supply conduit 24 is connected at one end through connection means 26 to the housing 20 and at the other end to an external power washing device 16. The cleaning unit 14 has a head 74 thereon which contains power spray jets 62 whereby fluid spray 68 is ejected onto a surface to be cleaned. The dirty fluid is sucked up by suction ports 72 contained in the vacuum head 74 and returned through hose 64 to a wet vac 18 where it is stored in the tank 19 of the wet vac. An operator handle 28 is shown having a control trigger means 30 thereon which controls the release of the fluid and the amount of fluid to be released. An embodiment is also shown comprising a vacuum extension tube 78 passing through multiple areas of a building having multiple connectors for the inlet water line 82 and vacuum ports 80 whereby one power washer 16 and wet vac 18 can be used to clean several areas simultaneously.
