Some unique features to highlight:

• A large 11 kW mine spec electric motor with greasable bearings.
• Star Delta soft start – S/steel control box – hour meter incorporated
• A 30m built-in hose reel.
• A water break tank with low water supply auto shut-down. Creates a water buffer withlow water auto shut-down to protect the pump against dry running.
• A large industrial water filter preventing rust and scale damaging the ceramic pump pistons and extending pump life.
• A slave oil tank (extra reservoir) connected to the pump to increase oil supply to prevent oil starvation and damage even when not checked daily and low oil auto
  shut-down. With low level oil shut-down and pump oil over temp shut-down!
• A shock absorbing drive coupling and pneumatic accumulator to reduce water hammering and protect components
• Numerous safety shut-downs – some already mentioned!

SPECIFICATIONS

Frame

• Very strong, low  vibration, fully hot dipped galvanized steel wash-bay frame with bolt-down legs
• Convenient frame-mounted gun holster and frame-mount reel

Motor

• Quality 11kW (15hp) Mine Spec (‘H’ wound) electric motor with greasable bearings.
• Comes with 2-year warranty.
• 32 Amp plug, 8 meter lead, waterproof glands.
• Requires 32 amp socket

Control Box

• Vibration-mounted Stainless Steel Control Box with Star Delta soft start
• Heavy duty weatherproof On/Off buttons and ‘on’ indicator light
• Timed by-pass auto shut-down when left idle (can be set between 0 and 20 minutes)
• Hour meter to schedule maintenance
• Auto Shut-Downs:
  • Timed by-pass
  • Low water supply
  • Low oil level to pump
  • Pump oil over temp
  • Motor over-load

Pump

• Using HAWK – The World’s Best Pump for the Cleaning Industry. Reliable, Efficient & Tough!
• HAWK Model: XLT1830 /HC930
• Rated 4350psi, 18 lpm.
• Brass Triplex Pump.
• Low Speed @1450 RPM – less wear & tear.
• Pump is direct driven from motor via a shock absorbing tyre ‘JAWS’ coupling preventing pressure spikes ad water hammering
• A frame mounted slave oil tank triples oil supply to the pump – preventing oil starvation. Incorporated because operators often don’t check oil levels daily

Pneumatic Accumulator

• Pneumatic Accumulator – absorbs pressure spikes and stops water hammering to protect components and seals against damage – increasing pump, by-pass valve and seals’ life. (Accumulator only fitted if set-up pressure is below 3000 psi)

By-Pass Valve

• Unique, top-quality K7-2 by-pass /unloader valve if set-up is at 3000 psi, or K1 valve if set-up is between 3000 and 3600 psi. (If set-up pressure is required to be higher, then a Pulsar Zero soft-acting by-pass valve is usually installed.
• The K1 and K7-2 are soft-acting so pressure comes on gradually – no kick-back on gun. This makes it safe and seals last longer.
• Also stores zero pressure in hose when trigger is released or unit is switched off. This makes it safe and again less wear and tear on by-pass valve, hose and gun seals.
• The by-pass valve is frame mounted– not hanging off the pump.     Advantages:
  • Less stress on drive shaft
  • Does not amplify vibration
  • Water in by-pass does not just circulate in pump where it heats up fast and cause damage to seals – it runs a longer path through hoses and takes much longer to heat up.

Water Filters

• Frame-mounted extra large industrial water filter with stainless steel mesh to protect pump’s ceramic pistons against water line debris like rust and scale and extending pump life. (Not just a water strainer that blocks up easily and causes pump cavitation)

Water Break Tank

• Stainless Steel Water Break Tank. Creates a water buffer when water lines are empty preventing pump cavitation and extending pump life. Has an auto shut-down when water supply is low or interrupted.
• Fitted with heavy duty brass float valve and low level float switch which will automatically shut down the unit when water supply is interrupted. This prevents pump dry running and expensive damage

Hose Reel / Gun / Hose / Pressure Gauge

• Heavy duty, frame mounted hose reel. Fully hot dip galvanised with large s/steel reel swivel – both rated to 7250 psi. Comes with 5-year structural warranty.
• 30 m 3/8″ double wire R2 HP Hose rated to 4785 psi with stainless steel fittings. Hose reel has capacity for 50 meters of 3/8” hose
• A heavy duty hose swivel prevents kinks and hose stiffness while pressure cleaning
• Tough Italian MV920 Gun rated 4060 psi with Stainless Steel lance with moulded hand grip – fits into frame mounted gun holster
• Stainless Steel BSP/NPT Nozzle Holder fitted to the lance with a 1/4″ stainless steel nozzle with 15 degree fan for general cleaning – correctly sized for pressure and flow
• Stainless Steel pressure gauge  – liquid filled to protect against pressure spikes

General

• Thermoshield dump valve dumps water when water temp rises during by-pass to protect seals against heat damage
• Easy to install: just bolt down the legs, connect the water and electricity and start it up!
• The control box already has a push-button STOP but an additional Emergency Stop can be installed on request.
• Additional remote reels can be installed connected to this machine, but when more than one gun is operated at the same time, the Pressure and Flow will both drop (2 guns going at the same time will see 50% drop in pressure and flow through each gun)
• Detergent injectors and detergent applicator lances are small optional extras.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS to consider:

• Quick connect fittings for the end of the lance and extra nozzles in different sizes & turbo nozzle – all on quick connect fittings to easily swap between nozzles – depending on the application.
• Rotary floor washers (with 3/8″ quick connect fittings to hose to swap between different guns and between floor washer and gun)
• Detergent injector and separate gun with double detergent lance to cover cleaned machinery/material in foam to dissolve dirt and oil for a deeper clean
