Complete working 3 phase pressure washer.
Very powerful, perfectly matched Interpump WS 201 pump, rated at 200 bar (2,900 psi) and 15L per minute (3.3 gallons per minute) directly driven by 5.5 Kw (7.4HP) three phase electric motor, running at the recommended 1420 rpm.
Built by Stinson's of Northern Ireland on a solid steel base plate, then mounted on a trolley with soft starter and 18m of flex. Cost when new just over £1,000.
The pump picks up from a tank or drum (4m pick-up and return hose fitted), and has two filters - one at the pick up end and one just before the pump. It was fitted with a matched dump valve by Stinson's, which returns excess water to the tank. This prevents the pump overheating or running dry by allowing constant water circulation. When the trigger is released a full low pressure flow is returned to the tank, and the motor idles at minimum current draw. Immediately the trigger is pulled, with no lag, full pressure is available. Pressure is adjustable.
This machine has been used on approximately 8 poultry farm clean-downs, of approximately 4 weeks washing each, so I estimate it has run a total of less than 1,000 hours. It has always been stored full of antifreeze solution to minimise corrosion and the risk of frost damage. We are selling as we no longer keep hens.
The unit comes complete with a 100' length of 3/8" high pressure hose, a gun with a quick-release lance attached to another 50' length of hose, and the lance is fitted with a turbo nozzle. The turbo nozzle may require a service kit for maximum performance - these are wearing parts - but apart from that the unit is in good used condition.
Connections between hoses are Karcher style 22mm handtights. You are bidding on a single unit as described above, but there are another 2 similar units available (the only difference being the colour of the steel base plate). We also have a few other lances, and a total of 12 x 100' lengths of hose (mixed 1/2" and 3/8") all with the same 22mm Karcher handtight connectors, though some of these connectors are not in the best condition. If you are the successful bidder on this first unit, we would be willing to discuss selling more units, or more hose or lances.
We hired diesel washers several times, and for equivalent performance you need a 10HP diesel, with all the associated starting problems, noise, exhaust and fuel use. Do yourself a favour, work more quietly, more reliably and cheaper.
Pick up in person with cash on collection, or personal delivery could be arranged if item pre-paid by PayPal. Inspection visit may be possible, but it's unlikely that it could be seen working, as we no longer have access to the 3 phase supply. Full refund promised if not working.
