Yes. Part of the purchase price of every QUINTEK cleaning system includes the cost to train and certify your operators to use the product. Trainees who complete our one-day Certification Program come out knowing how to operate our products in a safe and effective manner.

QUINTEK Corporation offers a one-day Certification Program. During the one-day ROTEC® VORTEX training workshop, participants will be introduced to the system’s state-of-the-art micro-abrasive cleaning techniques. The workshop is a hands-on training session that educates individuals on the technology and techniques needed to meet the complex requirements for safe, effective facade cleaning.

We cover the following topics:

• Setting up the ROTEC® VORTEX Cleaning System
• Operating the ROTEC® VORTEX Cleaning System
• Dismantling the ROTEC® VORTEX Cleaning System
• Troubleshooting the ROTEC® VORTEX Cleaning System
• Safely operating the ROTEC® VORTEX Cleaning System

After successful completion of our training program, each participant will receive a certificate of competition and photo identification card. The contractors for which trainees currently work will be added to the QUINTEK’s Certified Contractors List. This list is distributed to engineers, consultants, conservators, and architects across North America.

QUINTEK certifies the contractor’s employee for a period of five years. To become re-certified, the contractor must register each employee for re-certification and each employee must complete the refresher course.

Unlike traditional cleaning agents, the ROTEC® VORTEX Cleaning Process does not use environmentally harmful chemicals like bleaches or other chemical agents that may be heavily regulated. The ROTEC® VORTEX Cleaning Process does not require any chemicals whatsoever. A major research and development study and the steady accumulation of practical experience indicates that the ROTEC® VORTEX Cleaning Process can almost be used without restriction. Water consumption is another major environmental concern throughout the world. The QUINTEK Misting Cleaning System (QMCS) tackles that problem by employing electronically controlled to precisely set the cycle times to reduce the use of water and prevent overuse and large-scale run-off.
