Andy Guest add low-cost model
to popular v-pack series With the launch of the new V-Pack 1 Series jetting machine, Andy Guest announces their entry into the competitive sub £5K jetter marketplace. Developed to provide an alternative in the lower priced van-pack sector, the new compact and lightweight machine features a range of innovative features and a dry weight of under 250KG.
Jon Woods, Sales Manager at Andy Guest Jetters, says the company’s engineers have spent over 12-months developing a machine that could offer something different to users at this price point: “We’re really excited about entry into this sector and feel the 1 Series will have a definite edge on similarly priced competitors. It’s a compact and powerful unit that boasts a feature set you would normally associate with larger, higher cost machines.”
Featuring an efficient 23.5HP OHV petrol engine, selected because of its high performance and low emission credentials, the 1 Series uniquely includes an electronic control panel that eliminates the need for traditional operation levers. Developed to improve reliability and enhance user operation, the new electrical system also means that upgrading to remote control for single-man operation can be carried out at a fraction of the cost of traditional systems.
Designed and built to comply with EU manufacturing directives, machine safety formed a key aspect of the design process. Unusually for machines in this price range, the 1 Series includes fail safe features such as automatic HP pump protection and engine revs reset. And although the smallest capacity machine in the V-Pack range it features a comprehensive specification including large capacity jetting and filling reels, unloader valve system and anti-freeze valve as standard.
While primarily aimed at drainage contractors, Jon Woods says they have developed a jetting unit that can be installed in the smallest CDV type vans and still leave space for other equipment: “An objective was to produce a multi-purpose unit that could be used by other companies, such as environmental cleaners, facilities managers and housing associations.
“We know from feedback, that these types of organisation have a requirement for high-pressure jetting equipment, but perhaps do not need them full-time or have the budget for larger machines. For example, a housing association may need a unit to do both drainage work and high-pressure cleaning,
installed in a vehicle used for general maintenance work. The beauty of the 1 Series that there is space in even the smallest van to store equipment.”
As part of the new product range, accessory packages are being developed to suit a wide range of tasks. These will include cleaning packages that are supplied with accessories such rotating floor cleaners and specialist washing lances. There are also plans to introduce a hot-wash version of the unit specifically for the environmental cleaning sector.
Handling of the skid-mounted 1 Series has been made extremely easy due to the inclusion of dedicated lifting points. This mean it can also be easily installed on trailers and transporters.
Available for UK-wide delivery from April, Jon Woods says the company are also planning to market the equipment in emerging markets on the continent and further afield: “We feel there’s real opportunity overseas for a machine with this level of build quality, reliability and specification. Looking at the market, the 1 Series really represents the ultimate low-cost solution.”
