EQUIPMENT
Built by Hydrotek, with contribution from
API engineers, the SCX Hydro ‘Hush’
Series offers 4,000psi pressure, 121 0C
steam and noise levels of around 74dBA
at 7m.
The kit consists of a heavy duty Bertolini
triplex pump that delivers 20lpm flow at
4,000psi combined with Hydrotek’s diesel
powered high pressure boiler system.
The unit is powered by a three cylinder
Kubota water cooled diesel engine that
develops 14.1/2 kilowatts at 3200rpm.
The new silenced SCX Hydro ‘Hush’
Series features heavy duty components
that make it suitable for use in harsh and
remote environments. An optional 12 volt
heating system heats up to 121 degrees
C to remove stubborn grease, graffiti or
chewing gum. The extra-large stainless
steel frame allows for high capacity fuel
tanks and easy access to all components.
Panel mounted indicator lights monitor
engine temperature and oil pressure.
The unit’s noise reduction is obtained by
a combination of multiple components
including a custom designed muffler
that goes on the engine exhaust and a
three piece stainless steel panel kit that
encloses the machine. This panel kit is
backed by a high density insulation that
absorbs the noise, reducing the sound
produced by the pressure washer.
Insulation is also added to the underside,
a key area often ignored to complete
the noise dampening process. All of the
above offers easy access to the radiator
for topping up the water. It can be carried
out without removing any panels.
The machine was designed in
collaboration with Kubota engineers in
the US. The machines have been operated
by test teams in Nevada in the USA at
43 degrees C ambient temperature. Test
documentation is available covering
all of the tests on the machine from
Australian Pump Industries. API will be in
production with trailer mounted versions
with on-board water tanks to allow
mobile cleaning to be carried out quietly.
Aussie Pump’s Chief Engineer, John
Hales said: “Australian Pump is working
on a new version that will run with a
110 volt on-board generator capable of
running a vacuum cleaner for ‘Clean and
Capture’ versions of the same product.
