How the Gumpak works

The Gumpak is worn by a cleaning operative and contains a small gas aerosol can, a small rechargeable battery, a unique 12 Volt pump and a bottle of environmentally friendly gum removal solution.

The pump supplies 30ml of cleaning solution per minute via a flexible hose to the cleaning lance where it is vaporised by a hollow coil made with aircraft grade stainless steel. This provides a constant supply of vaporised chemical at the point of contact.

The combination of pressure, heat and cleaning solution means that a wad of gum can be removed in just 3 seconds - one cleaning operative can remove over 1000 pieces of gum per hour. This is more than double the efficiency of the best possible alternative.

Other benefits:

• No external power source - no trailing leads or generators.
• Completely silent - cleaning operations can be carried out at night.
• Portable and safe - cleaning can also be carried out during busy times, generating great positive PR and press coverage.
• Environmentally friendly - our unique cleaning solution is manufactured from renewable sources and is based on a sugar surfactant rather than oil based making it completely bio-degradable.
• The cleaning lance has no moving parts - no servicing costs or replacement parts required.

The chemical, gas and brass brushes are supplied together in a box that contains 2 bottles of gas, 4 bottles of gum solution and 6 brass brushes to allow 8 hours of continuous gum removal.
