Water – on tap!
Kärcher has introduced the new HDC range of cleaning systems
Washdowns with high-pressure water can be the simplest of effective cleaning methods – especially now Kärcher has introduced the new HDC range of cleaning systems, which combine the performance and flexibility of mobile high-pressure cleaners, without the hassle of transportation and set-up.
The new Kärcher HDC Classic, Standard and Advanced stationary high-pressure cleaning systems use water fed at high pressure from the central HDC unit. The water passes through permanently installed pipework to a number of take-off points, where mobile units can be connected.
The Classic machine can simultaneously supply up to 3 users with 80 or 160 bar pressure, and approximately 700l/h per lance. The Standard model supplies up to 8 users simultaneously with 1000l/h, also at 80 or 160 bar. Finally the Advanced machine can supply up to 12 users simultaneously, and offers control of the water flow via a frequency controller. If simultaneous operation is not required, all three versions offer the option of additional take-off points.
All models are available in stainless steel, and can accommodate a hot water supply at up to 85°C, when fitted with the optional integrated hot water pre-pressure pump. As well as leading the market in pressure washers, Kärcher is a market leader in cleaning detergents. Their latest is the highly concentrated Food Grease and Albumin Solvent – developed specifically for the food industry. This alkaline detergent removes stubborn stains, including rust, from stainless steel, plastic and ceramic surfaces, and is ideal for use with the new HDC machines.
A set of three foam cleaners is also available for the HDCs, for regular cleaning of kitchen and food preparation areas. The set comprises one acid, one neutral and one alkaline detergent, designed to be rotated regularly to maintain hygiene. In a foam formulation which clings to vertical surfaces, the cleaners increase contact time and reduce manual effort – without reducing effectiveness.
