4,000 PSI STEAMER BREAKTHROUGH

Australian Pumps claim another breakthrough in their drive for more efficient steam clean-

ing with the introduction of their new Admiral 4,000. The Admiral 4,000 is a heavy duty steam

cleaner designed for serious applications as diverse as food processing, livestock production,

construction, mining and heavy industry.

Boasting a 7.5 kW, 4 pole heavy duty motor and a big triplex industrial pump, the unique

new steamer offers a combination of 130°C steam married to a pressure of a powerful 4,000 psi

pressure.

Getting that extra 1,000 psi over the market standard, means much faster cleans and

saves time, energy, labour, water and power” said Aussie Pumps Hamish Lorenz.

The machine is mounted on a heavy duty steel chassis with stainless steel cover. It fea-

tures 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.

The pressures are set at 4,000 psi, and the operator has the ability to vary both pressure

and temperature from the control panel” said Lorenz. This means an infinitely variable control

of temperature from ambient (cold water) all the way through to 130°C.

Most smart operators set the machine between 75° to 80°C” said Lorenz. “That’s the

point at which you get the best combination of hot water and fuel consumption and is ideal for

washing big plant like mining gear, trucks or tractors” he said.

The Admiral 4,000 represents a first for the cleaning industry. It is a move that is claimed

by Australian Pump to put the company way ahead of the big European steam cleaner manu-

facturers. The triplex pump delivers a powerful 15 lpm flow. The machine comes with inte-

grated detergent injection and is mounted on four big solid rubber wheels for ease of movement

in factory, warehouse or workshop.

Australian Pump claim the new machine is the result of extensive market research. Customers

indicated that they wanted to save electricity, water and most importantly labour, in their clean-

ing programme.

The best news for earthmovers, transport operators, industry and farmers is that the new 4,000

psi Admiral is significantly less expensive than big brand European machines with plastic co-

vers and around 3,000 psi pressure capability.

Further information is available from authorised Aussie Pumps distributors, specialist pres-

sure cleaning suppliers and Australian Pump Industries.

The new Aussie Admiral 4000 delivers an impressive 4,000 psi and steam to 130°C for fast, effective sanitising, de-greasing and cleaning. Further information regarding this press release please contact Helen Mahoney 02 8865 3500.

CLASS A TRAINING Class A Training will be available from the end of October 2015.

New Patented Smartdrive design Pumps up the $$ savings!

WA based Pumps Australia Pty Ltd have come up with a couple of valuable innovations that will be ap-plauded in the cleaning industry and by anyone who is looking for substantially longer operating life, relia-bility, cooler running, lower maintenance and operating costs, in a high pressure washer pump. Incorporated into their latest High pressure cleaner – the PX15-280SD which belts out an impressive 4000psi at a very economical 15 litres per minute the clever additions make this washer one that will be hard to beat in terms of practicality, efficiency and longevity. The Honda IGX 13HP auto throttle control engine with load sensing, forms the heart and soul and you might say a “light-bulb” moment of the new machine by the team at Pumps Australia. They have made such clever use of the engine systems in ultimately making possible their own inventive new systems. John Warne – Pumps Australia CEO explained the new system “Making use of the Honda IGX engine’s ability to down revs when the engine is not being put under load, our Smart drive system works using our unique integration with that sensing system to disconnect the high pressure pump entirely when the trig-ger is released. That means that the pump simply can’t run dry. When pumps are left running for as little as 2 minutes plus, water in the head of the pump quickly reaches 60c and keeps on climbing to the point where seals fail. Because the Smart drive system disconnects the pump when the trigger is released heat from the engine ceases to flow to the pump and it cools during the time it is not pumping. Effectively reducing heat wear and tear adding to the life of the machine. Yes Smart drive is doing its job well. Our Smart drive system not only avoids running a pump dry but also avoids the gradual heat induced wear and tear that occurs when the pump is left running even for short periods with no flow from the gun” The team at Pumps Australia have combined engineering experience spanning over 50 years and have become specialists in the field of engineering pumps to suit any application. They welcome the opportunity to engineer to specific client needs so if you have a customer with a wish list you might like to call John to discuss the issues. It is just these kinds of challenges that have refined their research and development processes to the point where they have now patented their new Smart drive technology and they are always looking out for ways to refine and improve the efficiency and useability of their pumps. Another new development that was triggered by necessity is the boiler ignition system also incorporated into their new model. Available as an option the Honda petrol powered pump can offer the extra benefits of hot, (100c at the gun) or cold pressure washing. Designed to meet Mining industry safety requirements the team have again made benefit from the Honda engines ability by utilising the 20amp charge circuit to enable a 12v DC supply that generates 20000v for the 30L capacity boiler ignition. So here is a unit that can go into the back of the ute for transport anywhere and undertake any cleaning job whether hot or cold is required with safety and confidence. Great benefits to the hire and rental indus-try too as it’s pretty tough to damage this heavy duty machine. The pump itself is a quality unit by Annovi Reverberi - Italian manufactured with ceramic pistons, brass

head, S/S valves, bronze con rods and German water seals.

There are far too many features to go into here but you would do well to check them out for yourself with the people at Pumps Australia. These will just about walk out the door by themselves to any of your cus-tomers who need a reliable cost effective cleaning solution.

3.6 COMPATIBILITY

When assembling equipment, all component parts and fittings shall be checked to en-sure that as a minimum they are compatible in form and function with the maximum op-erating pressure/flow combination of the water jetting unit being used. 3.2.3 Hose assemblies

3.2.3.1 Hose inspection All hose assemblies shall be visually inspected prior to each use to ensure the follow-ing: The correct pressure rating and size is selected. Operators shall ensure the pressure rating of the hose assembly is adequate for

the intended application There is no apparent structural damage, e.g. corroded or broken wires, bulging,

kinking or cuts. Where the hose assembly shows evidence of damage, steps shall be taken to de-

termine its serviceability before use. All end fittings and couplings are of the correct size and type (imperial/metric) are

in good order (no cracks, damaged or corroded threads, worn or damaged auto-clave tapers or split swage or ferules), and of the correct pressure rating for the unit operating pressure.

All hose connections to equipment or other hoses shall be restrained with appro-priate hose restraints, braided stocking or other suitable means to restrict their movement in the event of a hose separation or end failure. Whip checks shall not be used as a hose restraint.

Additionally the point at which the hose attaches to any hand or foot operated device shall be protected by an over-sheath shroud manufactured from materials capable of withstanding a direct force of the jet of high pressure water to protect the operator in the event of hose separation/or end failure.

Extract from SafeWork Australia Guide to Managing Risk from High Pressure Wa-ter Jetting 2013 4.3 Hose assemblies Hose, couplings, connectors and hose end fittings selected before assembly should be suitable for use with the maximum working pressure of the high pressure water jetting unit to be used. Before each use, hose assemblies should be visually inspected by a competent person to ensure: the correct pressure rating and size is selected there is no apparent structural damage e.g. corroded or broken wires, bulging,

kinking or cuts end fittings are in good condition and of the correct pressure rating for the unit op-

erating pressure, and hose connections to equipment or other hoses are restrained with braided stock-

ings or are restricted in some other suitable way to stop their movement if the hose end fails.

Hoses with broken wires, deep abrasions, kinking, blisters or bubbles in the outer cov-ering should be identified as ‘defective’ and taken out of service. End fittings and crimping with cracks, corrosion, damaged threads or other evidence

they may not be safe to use should be identified as ‘defective’ and taken out of service.

AUSSIE I PUMP … SUPER SMART

A new Aussie “Smart Pump” has been released featuring 316 stainless steel casing. The pump is an extension of Australian Pump Industries range of pumps designed for a wide range of potentially corrosive or difficult to handle liquids.

The original Aussie Smart Pumps were polyester with a wide range of elasto-mers suitable for handling liquids as diverse as fuel oils, seawater, acids and aggressive agricultural fertilisers and weedicides.

The new I Series stainless steel pump can also be used in aquaculture and even oil field applications.

The pump’s major strength is its flexibility and versatility. The pumps internals are available in fibreglass reinforced polyester, polypropylene or even Ryton.

Elastomers options, including O-rings on the mechanical seal, mean these pumps can be configured to suit a wide range of difficult liquids. For example, for seawater or brine Buna N seals are combined with polypropylene internal components (impeller and volute). For concentrated nitric acid, pump internals in either Ryton or polypropylene fitted with Viton seals make an ideal combina-tion.

The pumps will handle a wide range of sodium based chemicals as well as urea, vinegar and even solutions of zinc sulphate.

The pump offers a maximum flow of 660 L/min combined with a maximum head of around 32 metres, that’s 32 psi! It’s highly efficient self-priming centrif-ugal design provides it with a vertical suction lift of 6 metres. The double flush volute, a unique feature, provides efficient operation and, combined with the integrated check valve fast priming!

“The most important feature we see is its 316 stainless steel body” said Aussie Pump Design Engineer, Jeremy Shelton. “The two body halves are held to-gether with a unique ‘V’ band clamp. The clamp has a plastic toggle nob that facilitates easy disassembly for cleanout or service of seconds,” he said.

The porting on the pump is unique because is compatible with both 1½” and 2” pipework. It achieves this with a smart port design that doubles as 1½” female BSP or 2” male BSP connection.

“One of the other things that we like about the Smart Pump is the strength of the 316 stainless steel body. It’s not only corrosion and abrasion resistant but has a strength that resists the hard knocks of use in mining, food or chemical industrial production.

The industrial chemical version is close coupled to 415 volt three phase or 240 volt single phase motors. All electric motors feature 316 stainless steel shafts and are ideal for applications in galvanis-ing plants or similar corrosive liquid duties.

They can also be supplied for portable applications with either petrol or diesel engine drive systems. “The pump makes a handy salvage or firefighting pump for marine applications powered by either a Honda petrol or Yanmar diesel engine in full portable frame” said Jeremy Shelton.

Further information on the new Aussie I Series “Smart Pump” is available from Australian Pump Industries distributors in all states or on our website.

“The new I series Smart Pump offers leak free chemical transfer of corrosive liquids.”
