designed for continuous service.
The team at Aussie Pumps understands that pain and reacts fast dur- ing natural disasters to help save people and properties.
“Our key priority is to provide performance and value for end users,” Mr Farrugia said.
They offer a unique er- gonomic stainless-steel frame with four 13” steel wheels and big flat-free tyres.
Aussie Pumps division manager Brad Farrugia said, “Our production team have shifted into high gear to build more trash pumps, high-pres- sure water blasters and Jetters to meet the de- mand generated by flood emergencies and subse- quent clean up.”
“Understanding the market’s requirements – whether it’s for farmers, local government, con- tractors or tradespeople – is key for us in devel- oping products that are robust, reliable and value for money.”
This means the ma- chines are easy to move around on site and, with a performance range between 3000-5000psi, there are models availa- ble to suit virtually every application.
Big pumps move water fast
Aussie Pumps builds a complete range of commercial and indus- trial high-pressure water blasters at its facility in Sydney’s Norwest busi- ness district.
Extension wands, flat surface cleaners, even turbo lances all help to cut cleaning times.
“When torrential rain comes, there’s an oppor- tunity to maximise wa- ter storage and a need minimise flooding,” Mr Farrugia said.
“When the chips are down, reliability and performance can make a huge difference to the speed and efficiency of the clean-up process,” Mr Farrugia said.
Aussie Pumps range also includes high-pres- sure hot-wash and steam- cleaning machines that provide real efficiency and reliability for a hy- gienic clean.
“We’re proud that our Aussie self-priming pumps are being used for both.”
Starting with an 80C, 1800psi single-phase hot-wash machine, the Aussie Sizzler is priced under $5000.
Farmers need to move water between dams and fill tanks to maximise water storage.
“We know that by using the right machine with the right accessories means more people get back on their feet faster, and that’s one small way we can help.”
The machine is uncom- promised with a stain- less-steel cover, slow- speed pump and motor, four wheels for ease of movement and a multi- function safety control kit that protects both the machine and the opera- tor.
Similarly, big pumps are effective at moving large amounts of un- wanted floodwater from flooded properties and breached levies.
The range – starting with the 3000psi Aussie A B30 Pocket Rocket – offers models that go all the way to 7000psi or 500 bar.
It’s five-year pump-end warranty is the only one in the industry, indicat- ing to customers the company’s confidence in its product.
Called the Aussie Scud, the machines are a breakthrough in design.
