PRESSURE WASHERS & STEAM CLEANERS
HEATWAVE DOWN UNDER
Australians are feeling a heatwave, as Aussie Pumps unveil their brand new steam cleaner to the market. Here, they tell us all about the new machine, and the benefits that can come from switching from cold water machines to high pressure steam cleaners.
Australian Pumps’ new portable engine drive steam cleaner provides serious high pressure steam capability with compact design and low entry point price. Called the Heatwave, the unit is designed to compete with much more complex European style machines.
Manufactured in the US by Hydrotek, the world’s leaders in engine drive steam cleaners, the new machine offers 4,000 psi pressure and temperatures up to 130°C.
Power is provided by a Honda GX390 13 horsepower electric start engine with a 14 amp charge circuit. This enables the unit to operate efficiently without separate generators or alternators. It provides sufficient charge to run the diesel powered burner.
A unique feature is the Spiralast coil with lifetime warranty. These thermally efficient heating coils are manufactured using robotic equipment that delivers precision welds. This, combined with a proprietary cold rolled process, ensures the coils are stronger and have less internal flow restriction.
The Heatwave also comes with a heavy duty battery, waterproof battery case and stainless steel frame with integrated handles. A safety kit that includes Aussie’s Safe Operator burst disk and safety relief valve also comes as standard.
The unit gets its pressure from a direct drive industrial triplex pump designed for long trouble-free life. It features a brass head and solid ceramic pistons.

Michael Leary from Jack Property Maintenance & Pressure Cleaning knows that this new Aussie Hydrotek steam cleaner will give his
new business an edge with the strata cleaning contracts he has secured.
“We see a really strong
opportunity for contractors that would traditionally
choose a cold water unit, switching to hot water
cleaning with all the benefits
that steam brings in terms of efficiency and results”
“The new Aussie Heatwave is arevolution in terms of value for money for a top quality portable engine drive steam cleaner”, said Aussie’s Chief Engineer, John Hales.
A high pressure hose, 15 metres of top quality R2 double wire braid hot water, a heavy duty 5,000 psi gun and stainless steel single lance are all standard inclusions, while quick tip nozzles are provided to give the operator a range of different nozzle angles to suit specific tasks.
A range of labour saving accessories including turbo lances, a grit blast kit, a flat surface cleaner and stainless steel hose reels are also available and operators are able to choose a 5,000psi rated reel with the capacity to hold either 45m or 75m of high pressure hose.
The new Heatwave is a revolution in design. It is a great quality machine but served up to Australian users at a value packed price.
“There’s already a lot of interest in this new unit. We see a really strong opportunity for contractors that would traditionally choose a cold water unit, switching to hot water cleaning with all the benefits that steam brings in terms of efficiency and results,” added John.
Australian Pumps operates a major plant at their 2.5 acre head office in Sydney’s boutique Norwest business district. They are Australia’s leading high pressure water blaster manufacturer and export their product globally.
