Trying to come up with an efficient way to wash the oil off of P&O steel, we threw this together. Absolutely no attention to detail... The sheets I'm cleaning range from 42" tall x 60" long... to 42" tall x 38" long. The "solvent" I'm using I get from Diamond Vogel Paints, made by Great Lakes Labs, All Purpose PrePaint Degreaser. Each 18 degree increase in solution temperature doubles cleaning effectiveness... So I have a 4500 watt, 240 volt water heater element in the tank to warm it up, and a thermostat to stop the heating at 130 degrees, because the listed max temp for the pump is 140. The pump is from Ace Hardware, its just a shallow well pump. The sprayers are the cheapest lawn sprinklers I could find, if it ends up working like I hope, and if I need something more robust, I'll change it. If it doesn't work like intended, I'd rather scrap cheap parts!
Plastic sprinklers are screwed to an 8ga backing plate, which slides into a "holder" cut from 3/8 plate... Unhooking the hose, they can be replaced fast...
