AS A tribute to the work that Victorian dairy farmers do to produce some of the best milk and top-quality processed products, Australian Pump Industries offers a great range of high-pressure hot wash and steam cleaners.

“We’ve got the biggest range of the business, with steam cleaners to suit all applications," said Aussie’s product manager, Sam Loria.

"That range includes electric drive steam cleaners and Honda petrol engine drive units that go mobile."

From now until June 30, Aussie is offering the opportunity for dairy farmers and co-ops to buy directly from the Aussie factory and get serious wholesale prices.

Aussie’s Sizzler is hot

The product range in single phase starts with the Aussie Sizzler hot wash.

This is a mighty machine designed specifically for Australian conditions.

You’ll find it in hire companies around the country with its stainless steel welded frame for protection in tough environments.

With a heavy-duty high efficiency triplex pump with brass head and independent brass unloader, the pump features solid ceramic pistons and has an adjustable temperature from ambient to 80 degrees celsius.

The motor power comes from a four-pole slow speed air-cooled motor, with thermal cut out, and a cable fitted with a 10-amp plug ( 240 V, 50 Hz).

The low maintenance stainless steel boiler has a low fuel consumption – only 2.3 kg per hour at full temperature.

The stainless steel cover lifts off easily for maintenance and service while the steel chassis with four large wheels, makes it easy to move around and provides a robust platform.

The diesel fuel tank is 18 litres capacity, and the protection equipment supplied is excellent.

The Multi-Function Safety Control Kit consists of:

1. Delayed total stop – stops the machine 30 seconds after the gun trigger closes which saves fuel.

2. Micro-leak detection – stops the machine in case of leaks in the hydraulic circuit.

3. Nozzle clog control – stops the machine if the nozzle at the end of the lance is blocked.

4. Flooding prevention system – protects fuel system.

5. Intelligent auto switch-off – switches off the machine after 20 minutes of non-use.

6. Dry running protection – stops the machine when no water is supplied.

7. Ignition boiler delay – ensures low fume emissions when the boiler starts.

“The machines are made in Northern Italy to our design,” said Loria.

“We knew that there was a real requirement in Australia for a top quality product loaded with features for dairy applications.”

Aussie Super Indy stainless coils

Super Indys are available in both 240 V and 415 V.

They feature similar protection equipment as “The Sizzler” but have heavy duty slow speed triplex pumps and offer a stainless steel coil with a three-year coil warranty.

“That’s a big thing in applications involving corrosive liquids.

"It can be handy and certainly extends coil life,” said Loria.

The machine also offers detergent injection as system built in, and the motor and heavy duty triplex pump have the feature of flexible coupling that provides both pump and motor with a smoother, cooler drive.

All the usual Aussie protection gear is incorporated including low water cut out, low fuel sensor, timetable stop, micro leak detection, and even a 15 amp plug, fitted to all single phase units.

The machines offer pressures up to 3,000 psi for the three-phase version and 1,500 psi for the single phase.

Stainless steel options

The company also produces a great range of high pressure stainless steel hose reels.

The reels can come with either 30 or 40 metres of high pressure hose.

“We know that dairy farmers hate the idea of having to move the machine numerous times during the bales clean up.

"Depending on the size of the bales, the stainless steel hose reel is very handy,” said Loria.

The stainless steel reels can be mounted on the wall adjacent to the machine or in any other convenient location for the user.

“The is a brand new initiative for Australian Pump.

"We saw a sense of uncertainty with people being confused by the election promises.

"Aussie dairy farmers buy direct.

"It’s our gift for the great work they do."
