Just go to the website www.pdqinc.com

I was impressed with the new features it has to offer, it seems to be a amped up version of the M5

Is it aluminium or stainless steel? They don't give you any details on the website. Also looking at the video they seem to have two dryers - one at the end of the bay as well???

The stand alone dryer was in the bay for show it has nothing to do with the laserwash they were showing off, I do like the fact that now you have the option of either having a onboard dryer for slower days and also have a standalone or onboard dryer that the customer can drive thru as if it was a stand alone on busy days to increase thoughput. The no boom idea was a great addition to the laser there is a video on youtube of somebody who built that for the G5 themselves and set fire to his old overhead boom in a field I believe his name was "tobaccofarmer"

The new LaserWash uses both aluminum and stainless steel. Both materials have been used by PDQ for quite some time. We of course have used stainless steel in the Laser4000 and M5 equipment, but we have also been using aluminum for almost 10 years in the G5 product line. Both materials have proven to be able to handle the harsh environment of a wash bay. We focused on using corrosion resistant materials in areas that are part of the direct wash/solution process.

The additional dryer at the end of the bay was left in place by the owner of the first LaserWash for use as a possible package upgrade on certain washes. The stand alone dryer shown in the video is currently not operational, although it could be. Only the integrated 4 producer dryer with FlashDry was being used at this site. The flexibility of the machine allows for use of both an integrated 2 producer FlashDry or 4 producer dryer with the possible use of an existing stand alone dry for a "superior dry package".

Does PDQ have plans in the works to create a retrokit for the M5 or G5 about the boom change? Also does the new laserwash have 2 sets of application nozzles for presoak and high pressure like the G5?

I just finished watching it. Pretty impressive. I'm curious to see what the pricing will be. Has anyone received a quote back yet?

 

[JustClean]

Is there a reason why PDQ don't use turbo nozzles? Wouldn't that improve wash results and lower water consumption?

The G5 uses zero degree turbo nozzles

The G5 uses zero degree turbo nozzles

Is there a reason why not for the new Laserwash? thanks.

What would Jesus do???

At this point, we do not have an active project to update the M5 or the G5 overhead design. However if the demand for this is such we are always open to feedback from the customer.

Also does the new laserwash have 2 sets of application nozzles for presoak and high pressure like the G5?

The new LaserWash does not have 2 sets of application nozzles like the G5. Part of the Smart 360 Technology (Smart Dwell) allows us to properly time the change-over from solution to high pressure. Also, we felt that maintaining one set of application nozzles reduces pump station/arch complexity and will lower maintenance costs over the life of the machine.

In keeping with our message of being the simplest replacement for the many Laser4000 out there, we decided to keep the arch/nozzle design consistent to the way we have in the past. Hopefully you're noticing a theme: less complex, lower maintenance costs, lower initial investment.
