Australian Pumps has released a stainless-steel industrial pressure cleaner. The Aussie 3,000 psi Super Scud 300, a powerful electric drive blaster, is the latest in the Aussie Monsoon series.
The new, three-phase industrial blaster features the new ‘sharp free’ ergonomic stainless-steel frame fitted with four big ‘off-road’ style steel wheels with flat free tyres. The company has moved to stainless steel to eliminate corrosion. At the same time, its appearance and aesthetics are ground breaking.
“The new Super Scud looks as good as it works, and works as good as it looks”, said Aussie Pumps’ Chief Engineer, John Hales. “We’ve developed the product with features that ensure these Aussie built machines are world class. There isn’t a European made unit that comes near it in terms of performance, quality or features. The Scud design frame eliminates sharp edges and that’s a huge OH & S benefit,” he said.
With a 7.5kW three-phase, four-pole electric drive motor, the cleaner delivers 21 lpm flow. This makes it ideal for a range of industrial applications requiring fast, continuous cleaning including wash bays and machinery wash-down.
The Super Scud Monsoon 300 uses the TTL series ‘Big Berty’ Bertolini triplex pump with ceramic pistons. This pump incorporates a big ribbed crankcase that ensures it stays cool even in continuous run applications. The valve caps are fitted with a new Bertolini sealing system designed for higher pressure and longer working hours.
The blaster is classified as Class A under the AS/NZS 4233.01 safety standards. This is a big advantage for users as the standards don’t mandate operator certification for this class of machine.
The power is provided by a heavy duty, IP55 rated, four pole TEFC electric motor. Like all Aussie blasters, the Monsoon 300 Super Scud features an ASP (Aussie Safety Protection) kit. The kit includes a thermal dump valve to protect the machine from excessive bypass. An industrial on/off thermal protection switch prevents overload of the motor and prevents pressure spikes.
High-quality accessories complete the package. A heavy-duty gun/lance combination provides the operator with complete control of the machine with a trigger lock that improves safety and prevents accidental activation.
