Gum Removal Businesses Are Flourishing : New Entrepreneurs Are Getting Good Money Out Of Chewing Gum Removal Equipment by Dupray!



A growing number of special entrepreneurs have recently gotten a lot of media attention because of the brilliant idea they have put to work. Gum littering is one of the most important source of urban pollution and is certainly the hardest and most expensive one to get rid of. Americans chew between 4 and 5 billion gums per year and a fairly large percentage of these goes directly on the sidewalk. These ugly black spots are the curse of building and shop owners, who think somebody should come up with an idea to remove them. Traditional chewing gum cleaning involve using messy and inefficient pressure washers that can take as long as a minute per single piece of gum.

Montreal-based entrepreneur Sebastien Dupere found a way to dissolve chewing gum almost instantly using Dupray's high-pressure commercial steam cleaners. He named his gum removal company ''The Gum Removers'' and is now able to remove up to 700 pieces of gum per hour, using a high-quality commercial steam cleaner named ''Carmen Super Inox'', available at Dupray.ca. The Dupray steam vacuum cleaner works by injecting a powerful 330ºF steam jet with integrated ecological detergent, to dissolve the gum in a few seconds with minimal agitation. A wet-dry vacuum then suck the dissolved gum at the same time, leaving the surface like new!

This specialized gum removal equipment, part of the world-renowned Tecnovap line of steam cleaning machines, comes packed with dozens of unique cleaning tools allowing the operator to perform other difficult tasks like grout cleaning, stain removal, graffiti removal and upholstery cleaning.

''The market is huge and we keep expending. In a few months we got more than 150 000$ in contracts and the phone can't stop ringing! These gum removal machines are very reliable and are the only way to get rid of chewing gum litter.'' says Dupere, who bought more than 5 machines on www.Dupray.ca

Nine Elements To Consider When Buying a Steam Cleaner


Ready to acquire a steam cleaner? This guide will present you 9 elements to consider before making your choice on a particular machine.

Steam Cleaners were invented in Italy, about 25 years ago, and are now available on the worldwide market. These equipments usually use high pressure saturated steam (with only 5 % water) and are used to clean and disinfect most surfaces.

Elements to consider:

1. The Boiler
The boiler is the most important part of a steam cleaner. You want to look at the capacity of the boiler. Dupray's steam cleaners have boilers that range from 1,5 L (Hill model) to 14 L (industrial models).

2. Automatic Refill
Good quality steam cleaners have 2 water compartments : a pressurized boiler and a tank to automatically refill the boiler without interrupting the machine. All of Dupray's Steam Cleaners work this way.

3. Replaceable Heating Elements
The best quality heating elements nowadays are produced by Tecnovap. They can give up to 28 W/cm2. These are the elements used in all steam cleaners offered by Dupray.

4. Integrated Vacuum
Some models are offered with integrated industrial grade vacuum, designed to collect residues.

5. Detergent Chamber
Offered only on a few commercial and industrial models a simple button allows the user to control the detergent flow.

6. Steam Temperature
The steam temperature output by the machine makes a BIG difference in the strength of the cleaning. Do never go for a machine that can't output at least 145 °C. Dupray's Steam Cleaners output temperature ranges from 155 °C to 180 °C.

7. Pressure
Another very important indicator of the quality of the machine is the pressure output. A minimum of 4 bars is necessary for a commercial machine to be effective. Again, Dupray Industries stands out by offering Steam Cleaners that have a pressure output ranging from 4 bars to 10 bars.

8. Quality of construction
Since the Steam Cleaners work at very high temperatures, the quality of the pieces and the assembly is of great importance. Dupray's stainless steel Steam Cleaners are made by hand, in Italy, with top quality materials.

9. Warranty
Distributor's warranty is very important. With Dupray Industries, you can rest assured. Dupray offers a lifetime warranty on the boilers and a 3 years warranty on the other parts of its Technovap Steam Cleaners. Nobody in the industry can beat this warranty.
