Council Cleans Up
Model: Hydrotek 20th May 2008
Cowra Shire Council, NSW, recently took delivery of
a state of the art multi-purpose mobile water blaster.
The machine uses high pressure water and steam
for a wide range of tasks including graffiti removal,
footpath cleaning and disinfecting of park and sports area ablution blocks.
Built by Australian Pump Industries, the trailer
mounted machine is part of the Aussie Eco-Clean
range of portable steam cleaning equipment. The
machine develops up to 130°C steam making it ideal
for cleaning without the use of chemicals or detergents.
The heart of the system is a Honda petrol engine powered “Big Berty” Bertolini triplex piston pump that develops
3,200 psi and flows to 15 litres per minute. When the machine is teamed with an Aussie hot water turbo
lance it can achieve a 5,000 psi EWP (effective working pressure).
The complete package includes an Aussie Hydrotek steam cleaner with a diesel fire burner, equipped with
stainless steel covers, heavy duty powder coated steel frame, electric start engine, ASP (Aussie Safety Protection
kit), adjustable thermostat with steam setting and a “Total Relief” unloader that improves operator control
and safety while enhancing reliability.
The machine is mounted in a heavy duty steel trailer with an Aussie 600 litre Billabong UV resistant poly water
tank. The council also specified the Aussie Whirl-a-way flat surface cleaner. The Aussie Whirl-a-way,
teamed with the cleaner enables the operator to clean pavements, driveways or other flat surfaces of grease,
oil stains or chewing gum without the need for harmful or aggressive chemicals.
The flat surface cleaners are also significantly faster than using a lance for cleaning purposes. The manufacturers
claim that cleaning times can be cut by up to 70% significantly reducing water usage, fuel and operator
time.
The Whirl-a-way also has the positive effect of being able to leave a streak free finish and because it floats on
water pressure like a hovercraft, it is much easier on the operator. The Aussie steam cleaning Mobi-blaster
also incorporates two hose reels. One is a low pressure reel for water supply to the machine while the high
pressure reel enables the operator to run hose lengths of up to 30 metres without repositioning the machine.
