Driven by either a Honda petrol engine or Yanmar diesel, the Scud with its stainless-steel frame and four big steel wheels with flat free tyres, was a nat- ural for any piggery.

Producing a top-quality product, in line with the stringent health and hy- giene standards, is a con- stant battle.
As the company pro- gressed and learned to understand the trials and tribulations of the pro- ducers, they realised that bigger machines with more capability, were necessary.
The Scud design was quickly registered and is quite unique in the world of pressure washer ma- chines.
The Aussie Scuds are now available up to 5000psi and with larger flows as well.
In response, Aussie Pumps developed a 4000psi steam cleaner, delivering a 15lpm flow.

Aussie Pumps, Aus- tralia’s major manufac- turers of high-pressure water blasters, have been working with piggeries for the past 20 years to develop products that are particularly suitable for these applications.

It moves waste fast.
“Our ultimate desire is to give them something better than they could have imagined.”
The current generation of machines is far dif- ferent to those early pro- duction units that were in their day considered to be state of the art.

Bigger models, up to 20lpm, quickly followed, with that combination of pressure and a 20lpm flow, the job got done faster.
The idea of using hot water or even steam for cleaning and sterilising capabilities at the same time as pressure washing was appealing to some piggeries.
