Pneumatic pavement joint cleaning system
A pneumatic cleaning system for pavement joints controlled and driven by a motor. A wheeled housing carries a nozzle system where a stream of pressurized or forced air is directed through rotating nozzles to clean the joint surfaces. The RPM of the motor are selectively controlled by actuation of a throttle by the operator, and allows the operator to selectively control the rate of rotation of the nozzles are required by the state of the surface to be cleaned. A vacuum is further positioned to remove the debris dislodged by the pneumatic system. A brush or skirt component further loosens debris for removal and contains the debris within the cleaning area for controlled removal by vacuum suction. A frame may be operably connected to the cleaning base allowing the operator to stand/walk within the frame when moving the cleaning base and where the frame is a support for at least a vacuum hose.
