New pressure washers designed for low emissions will be the highlight of the manufacturer’s stand.
Demon International has developed two new variants of popular machines in its range, which will be officially launched at the Show. They are versions of the Hurricane Combi P2 cold water pressure washer and the Mini Bowser P2, both fitted with a new 6.5hp Honda GX200 Gas engine running on LPG rather than petrol. The company believes this offers hirers and their customers significant benefits.
“We maintain excellent links with Honda and we were one of the first manufacturers to obtain one of the new engines for evaluation when it was announced last summer,” Director David Walke told EHN. “It has been developed to run only on LPG, with specially developed valves to withstand the extra heat generated, and is designed to provide power without any loss of performance. It has similar dimensions to the existing GX200 petrol engine, and it fits
straight into our existing machines. The only
modification needed was to create a secure frame to accommodate the gas cylinder.
The LPG Hurricane Combi can also be fitted with a rotary washer attachment.
The LPG Mini Bowser has an integral water tank for operation in areas without a convenient mains supply.
Demon also says that the LPG engine gives a sound level reduction of 4dB and a decrease in emissions of more than 50%. This can help users meet their obligations in reducing their carbon footprint.
“The machines are ideal for work in urban areas, especially as more cities are introducing tighter regulations regarding on-site emissions. The LPG engine represents a more cost-effective alternative to adapting petrol engines and fitting accessories such as catalytic converters, which can be expensive. We have already had interest from contractors who undertake tasks such as cleaning railway platforms and other locations where equipment with petrol or diesel engines cannot be used.
“In addition, there are Health & Safety benefits. The gas cylinders can be stored conveniently on site, and there are none of the risks associated with refilling, such as fuel spillages that could contaminate the ground. Running machines on LPG can also help users reduce their fuel
“Instead of a carburettor, the engines simply have a gas valve, but otherwise are virtually identical, so workshop technicians will be familiar with all the other components. In fact, there should typically be a reduction in maintenance, since the engine runs hotter, giving better combustion and there is less risk of water contamination.”
Like its counterpart with a petrol engine, the LPG Hurricane Combi pressure washer delivers water at up to 2200psi at a maximum flow rate of 13 litres per minute. A rotary washer attachment can also be fitted to the machine for cleaning walkways and hard surfaces. Similarly, the LPG Mini Bowser has the same integral 150-litre water tank as the petrol equivalent, which is claimed to provide up to 15 minutes of operation in areas without a convenient mains supply.

costs, and it is readily available. In fact, our two new models create a win-win situation for hire companies, as they can benefit from selling the fuel as well as supplying the equipment. Furthermore, there is no risk of contaminated fuel being used in the engine.”
Demon says that both the LPG Hurricane Combi and the LPG Mini Bowser will give a running time equivalent to a typical working day from one gas cylinder. The company will also be developing a gas-powered version of its Tornado P4 road-tow bowser washer, which will be powered by a larger Honda GX340 LPG engine. This machine is expected to be available from mid-2017, but the two new models at the Show should provide plenty to interest visitors in February.
