AUSTRALIA'S leading high pressure water blaster manufacturer, Australian Pump Industries has increased production of its range of cold and hot water pressure cleaners, ideal for keeping farm equipment clean.

Conceived, designed, and built in Australia, the machines offer features that are significantly upgraded from some overseas imports.

The range, starting with the 3,000 psi Aussie AB30 “Pocket Rocket” offer models that go all the way to 7,000psi (500 bar).

Available in both Honda petrol or Yanmar diesel drive engine options, the machines are robust, mobile, and easy to use.

The heavy duty range of gearbox drive pressure cleaners are designed for continuous use.

Called the Aussie Scud, the machines are a breakthrough in design.

A testimonials from one of our current users said that it "works well and is used every day for weeks at a time".

They offer a unique ergonomic, stainless steel frame with four 13” steel wheels and big flat free tyres.

This means the machines are easy to move around and, with a performance range between 3,000 psi and 5,000 psi, there are models available to virtually suit every application.

The heart of the system is a “Big Berty” Bertolini pump, gearbox drive running at slow speed (1450 rpm).

They are designed for a long and trouble-free life.

A wide range of attachments make clean up faster and more efficient.

Extension wands for hard to reach areas and even turbo lances all help to cut cleaning times.

The latest introduction of the Scud is a high flow version suitable for machinery washdown or even moving livestock effluent from dairies, piggeries, or similar applications.

The best news is that Aussie Pumps have increased production volume and moved into a larger facility.

But this has not impacted the fact the Aussie Pumps have always been able to keep prices at highly competitive levels.

Hot water and steam

Cleaning with hot water and steam has several advantages.

It’s more efficient, cutting cleaning times by up to 75 per cent, using less water and less chemicals.

It’s also more hygienic, reducing bacteria.

Aussie’s Sizzler hot wash delivers 1800 psi pressure with a flow of 10 lpm.

With a maximum temperature of 80 degrees celsius, the machine has proven popular for cleaning farm equipment and dairy washdown.

Using hot water to clean away oil and grease from machinery is not only faster, but it also helps to identify hydraulic leaks prior to service, facilitating less equipment down time.

The Sizzler comes in a stainless steel cover over a four wheel trolley.

The secret of the machine’s success is what is under the cover.

It comes with a top quality slow speed heavy duty Triplex pump with solid ceramic pistons.

It is driven by a four pole 1450 rpm electric motor and equipped with loads of safety protection gadgets.

Bigger steam cleaners with temperatures up to 130 degrees celsius capability are also available.

Getting value for money

Because Aussie Pumps is a small Australian company with only 50 employees, they don’t carry the huge overheads of the big corporations.

That independence means that they can pour more money into product development.

Their inspiration is feedback from a wide range of customers who use the products that they make.

Their preoccupation is self-priming centrifugal pumps and high pressure water blasters.

That may sound simple but the range they have developed over the last 30 years is the most complete and versatile in the industry.

“When doing our design work, we always talk to users to get feedback for what they think the product should be like,” said Aussie Pump’s Chief Engineer, John Hales.

“The engineering and design team always want to know what the user thinks because after all, they have more experience on the job than we ever will.”

The result is products that represent real advantages over both local and imported competitors, that are safer and more economical to use and, represent significantly better value for money.

Local partners for local support

Aussie Pumps realised that having a great product line means having distributors who carry the stock, know the product and understand how to apply it.

Victoria is blessed with several professional ‘Aussie Gold Distributors’ throughout the region.

Our dealers have confidence in our product line because they know our priority is to deliver top outcomes to the people who use the equipment.
