Recently Aussie Pumps hosted a Masterclass on servicing hot water pressure cleaners. The aim was to both train service technicians and to demystify the mechanics behind the machines.
The participants were taken through the basics of the hot water machines and shown how to service them. They saw how by careful design, Aussie Pumps’ range of steam cleaners has been tailored for Australian conditions.
“We know that the standard European hot water pressure cleaners do not measure up to the local conditions,” said Aussie Pump’s Chief Engineer. “Reliability is vital in busy transport hubs. A breakdown of the steam cleaner can mean longer maintenance times and this has major consequences,” he said.
Aussie Pumps set out to design in key features into their machines that gave users advantages. They added only features that were essential but excluded over complicated components with the potential to fail.
Aussie’s 4,000 psi Admiral
A prime example is Aussie’s Admiral 4000 steam cleaner is a 4,000 psi steam cleaner. It delivers increased capability but with the advantage of using less water consumption.
The Admiral can save time, water and electricity in the cleaning process. The 4,000 psi capability with flows to 15 lpm, means it can move caked on debris fast, delivering huge time savings. It’s the combination of steam (up to 130°C), 4,000 psi pressure and huge flow, that get the jobs done faster.
The operator has the ability to vary both pressure and heat to optimize performance and cleaning efficiency.
Features Built In
All of Aussie’s hot water machines come with four pole motors and slow speed heavy duty European triplex pumps. They provide a longer and trouble free life. The range includes both single and three phase options with pressures from 1,800 psi all the way up to 4,000 psi.
They also come with stainless steel covers, replacing the traditional European style plastic cover. Underneath is a steel chassis, stronger and longer lasting than polypropylene. Four wheels, rather than castors, are used for ease of movement on uneven surfaces.
Aussie’s machines are streets ahead of imports. They feature a wide range of protection devices that are aimed at providing the maximum convenience for the operator. These include Timed Total Stop, Auto Shut-down, Micro-leak Detection, and Low Fuel sensor with warning light.
“What the Masterclass taught our technicians was that Aussie’s steam cleaners are as tough on the inside as they look from the outside,” said Hales.
Aussie Pumps has comprehensive workshop manuals for servicing hot water machines and these are available free of charge.
