Australian Pump Industries Hurricane MKII industrial blaster

Hurricane MKII is an upgraded version of the Aussie Hurricane 5000 psi industrial hydro blaster. The high-capacity industrial pressure cleaner is designed specifically for heavy industry, mining, transport and the construction industries.

The steel frame has been upgraded to a full hot dipped galvanised finish. The frame doubles as a trolley and is mounted with 4 13″ pneumatic ‘off road’ style wheels to make it easy to move.

The machine is powered by a 12.5 kW 4-pole slow-speed TEFC electric motor, with an elastic coupling enclosed in a ‘double flange’. The pump close couples directly to the motor through a hollow shaft flange. The hollow shaft flange encloses the coupling, keeping it free of dust and moisture.

The unit is also available with an explosion-proof motor and XD-rated starting equipment making it suitable for gaseous locations. The explosion-proof version, with a purpose-designed stainless steel trolley frame, is available as an option for offshore oil platforms, or similar applications in corrosive or hazardous locations.

The heart of the system is a Bertolini HDS series triplex pump. The pump features a heavy-duty forged brass head and ceramic pistons. It is protected by ASP, Aussie Safety Protection kit. The kit includes a thermal dump to protect the machine if left on bypass, and a safety valve. The safety valve is designed to protect both the operator and the machine from pressure spikes.

A wet grit blaster kit is also available, and a turbo lance that enables the machine to operate with an effective working pressure of up to 8000 psi.
