Aussie Pumps debuts Truck Wash water blaster

The Truck Wash Special high pressure water blaster from Aussie Pumps is built to lift mud faster from vehicles across industry

Australian Pump Industries, also known as Aussie Pumps, is offering more water and less pressure in its newest water blaster.

An extension of its Scud range, the new ‘Truck Wash Special’ has a ‘Big Berty’ Bertolini slow speed heavy duty triplex pump that delivers a flow speed of 21 litres of water per minute at 2,600 psi pressure.

The Truck Wash models use higher flow and less pressure to get muddy jobs done faster, making service work easier.

Aussie Pumps chief engineer John Hales says the company’s 4,000psi, 15 litre per minute pump gearbox drive Scuds are at “every major rental company in the country”.

“The machines, either Honda petrol engine drive or Yanmar diesel, are widely used in earthmoving, transport, professional cleaning and similar applications” he says.

The Honda 13 horsepower (9.7kW) GX390 industrial petrol engine is the standard drive system, available in either recoil or electric start configuration, while the 10hp (7.5kW) electric start Yanmar diesel engine is popular in construction and mining.

The finned crankcase on the Big Berty pump helps provide cool running, while its solid ceramic pistons and 316 stainless steel valves prevent corrosion and enhance high fluid dynamic efficiency.

“The pumps are made to last and come with a four-year warranty”, Hales says.

The Truck Wash Special model comes with up to 30 metres of high pressure hose and an optional stainless steel high pressure hose reel, rated to 5,000 psi.

Also available are long wands for under carriage cleaning, turbo lances for enhanced effective working pressure and even a telescopic wand that gives the operator the ability to clean up to 5 metres in height without the use of ladders.
