tors, there are optional stainless-steel hose reels, with up to 50m of high- pressure hose available.
The machine appears to satisfy all of the require- ments of the industry with a versatility not found in either electric-drive or cold-water washdown units.
gineer John Hales said, “The ability to produce 4000psi and up to 130C steam in a mobile portable machine is quite revolu- tionary.”
ate the machine, the more diesel fuel in the burner is used, which becomes a more expensive resource,” Mr Hales said.
Stainless-steel reels mount on top of the Heat- wave above the engine, providing balance and ease of operation when moving between sheds.
The CEO works closely with the Board as well as broadly with a wide range of stakeholders, including other indus- try peak bodies, gov- ernments, community groups and key industry customers.
The Aussie Heatwave was developed original- ly for local government cleaning contractor appli- cations.
“Thus it can carry out high-pressure cleaning applications with cold wash, but can kill germs and sanitise by operating the thermostat and adjust- ing the temperature to hot wash – 80-90C and up to 130C steam.”
Aussie Pumps claim that one of the major benefits is the fact that the Heat- wave cleans in a chemi- cal-free manner.
“The stainless-steel reel is a big asset,” Mr Hales said.
Dr Kite will leave after 33 years with the poultry industry, including the past eight years at the helm of the ACMF.
You will have extensive experience operating in either a commercial, peak body or not-for- profit organisation, pref- erably in the agricultural sector, requiring broad and varied stakeholder management across members, industry, com- munity and government.
It is a 4000psi steam cleaner with an infinite- ly variable temperature control from ambient to 130C.
Mr Hales reports that most customers in live- stock applications operate the machines at about 85- 90C.
It can be operated with a range of accessories in- cluding – in cold wash configuration – a heavy- duty turbo lance that turns the 4000psi impact into the equivalent of a 6000psi machine.
“It spools really well be- cause of its unique design, and the hose reel for long- hose storage helps elimi- nate accidents, providing the operator with more range without having to move the machine.”
Expressions of interest are now being consid- ered for the position of chief executive officer of the ACMF.
Imperative to the role is the ability to develop and implement strategic frameworks and policies through consultation and cooperation with partner organisations.

The turbo literally acts as a turbine, spinning under pressure from the pump’s supply, creating what amounts to more im- pact and cutting cleaning times accordingly.

“What the industry seems to like is its ver- satility – adapted with la- bour-saving devices such as turbos, high-pressure hose reels, telescopic ex- tension wands and similar – fleets of between six and 10 pieces are proving a real benefit in terms of machinery maintenance too,” Mr Hales said.
