With the unprecedented rainfall continuing, communities across Australia are repeatedly facing the heartbreaking challenges that floods deliver.
The team at Aussie Pumps understands that pain and reacts fast during natural disasters to help save people and properties.
Aussie Pumps division manager Brad Farrugia said, “Our production team have shifted into high gear to build more trash pumps, high-pressure water blasters and Jetters to meet the demand generated by flood emergencies and subsequent clean up.”
Big pumps move water fast
“When torrential rain comes, there’s an opportunity to maximise water storage and a need minimise flooding,” Mr Farrugia said.
“We’re proud that our Aussie self-priming pumps are being used for both.”
Farmers need to move water between dams and fill tanks to maximise water storage.
Similarly, big pumps are effective at moving large amounts of unwanted floodwater from flooded properties and breached levies. Aussie Pumps focuses on self-priming pumps because of the great convenience these pumps offer users.
The range goes from 1” all the way to big 6” pumps, with flows available up to 6000LPM, ready for immediate delivery. The Aussie Pumps range is ideal for water transfer, moving contaminated floodwater and even pumping effluent.
It’s five-year pump-end warranty is the only one in the industry, indicating to customers the company’s confidence in its product.
“Our key priority is to provide performance and value for end users,” Mr Farrugia said.
“Understanding the market’s requirements – whether it’s for farmers, local government, contractors or tradespeople – is key for us in developing products that are robust, reliable and value for money.”
The big clean up
Aussie Pumps builds a complete range of commercial and industrial high-pressure water blasters at its facility in Sydney’s Norwest business district.
“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.
“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 range – starting with the 3000psi Aussie AB30 Pocket Rocket – offers models that go all the way to 7000psi or 500 bar. Available in both Honda petrol or Yanmar diesel-drive engine options, the machines are robust, mobile and easy to use.
A good example of this is the heavy-duty range of gearbox-drive pressure cleaners that are designed for continuous service. Called the Aussie Scud, the machines are a breakthrough in design.
They offer a unique ergonomic stainless-steel frame with four 13” steel wheels and big flat-free tyres. This means the machines are easy to move around on site and, with a performance range between 3000-5000psi, there are models available to suit virtually every application.
A wide range of attachments makes flood clean-up faster and more efficient. Extension wands, flat surface cleaners, even turbo lances all help to cut cleaning times.
Aussie Pumps range also includes high-pressure hot-wash and steam-cleaning machines that provide real efficiency and reliability for a hygienic clean.
Starting with an 80C, 1800psi single-phase hot-wash machine, the Aussie Sizzler is priced under $5000.
The machine is uncompromised with a stainless-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 operator.
The best news is that by dramatically increasing production volume over the past couple of years, Aussie Pumps has been able to keep prices at highly competitive levels.
