Hydra-Clean Family
Product Family Highlights
• 5 Models, range of pressure operation from 10:1 to 40:1 (Please the 45:1 has been re-rated to a 40:1)
• Ability to handle two guns/operators per unit
• Drum, wall or cart mount options
• Safe for use in Hazardous Locations
Hydra-Clean Features
Applications: Mining
• What is the Application?
– Underground
> Cleaning & degreasing of underground equipment, primarily diesel locomotives
> Industry standards are for the locomotives to be cleaned every 100 hours of operation
> Dust suppression
– Open Pit/Above Ground
> Wash station for equipment maintenance
• Why Hydra-Clean?
– Safe for Hazardous locations inside the mines
> Safety Regulations require frequent Cleaning, this can now be done inside the mine, saving transit time to the outside
– Durable and rugged enough to last in this environment
• Common Units - 23:1 and 30:1 cart mounted
• What is the Application?
– High-pressure cleaning & degreasing around the shipyard
– General cleaning for on board vessels
– Cleaning hulls of ships for maintenance
– Cleaning oil tanker holds prior to next filling
> More than 100 units sold annually into this application
• Why Hydra-Clean?
– Many shipyards will not allow the use of electric, gas or diesel pressure washers in port
– Air operated cleaning makes it easy to move around the yard
– Safe for enclosed, poorly ventilated and hazardous locations
– More robust
• Common Units
- Ship maintenance: 30:1 and 40:1 cart mounted
- On board vessel: 10:1 and 12:1 cart mounted
Applications: Oil and Gas Drilling
• What is the Application?
– Cleaning shaker screens
– High-Pressure Cleaning & Degreasing on Off-Shore Oil Platforms
• Why Hydra-Clean?
– Safe for Hazardous locations in Oil & Gas drilling
– Oil platforms require cleaning and there are many areas that they to use a Hydra-Clean to clean due to the hazardous environment
• Common Units
- Shaker screens for drilling operations: 12:1, 23:1 and 30:1 cart mounted; depends on how fine the screens are
- General cleaning: 23:1 and 30:1 cart mounted
- Cleaning cellars on drilling rig: 23:1 and 30:1 cart mounted
Typical Shale Shaker
- More than 250 Hydra-Cleans are sold every year into this application
- The bed of the shaker vibrates to separate debris from drilling and the liquids (oil, water, diesel fuel and assorted chemicals) used in the drilling process
Typical Shaker Screen
- Screens will vary by material being drilled
- Fine sand requires thinner screens versus bedrock which is more course
- Screen size will determine the Hydra-Clean pressure requirements
• The Hydra-Clean is a unique product that no other company offers today
• The Hydra-Clean is the product of choice on oil platforms for cleaning shaker screens, every platform needs at least one
- There are 7,300 platforms in the world today,, one platform in the North Sea has 16 Hydra-Cleans on it
• The 45:1 unit has been re-rated to 40:1
• Most common Hydra-Clean sold today is the 30:1 unit, cart mount
• Piston pump technology is designed to pump abrasive, dirty water and cleaning agents
• Plunger pump technology is only designed for clean water and cannot handle dirty water without damaging the plunger
- The majority of electric, gas or diesel units, including Karcher, use plunger pumps, which cannot handle abrasive materials, this is why they wear out prematurely in industrail applications
- The Hydra-Clean can last up to 10 time longer than a Karcher/electric units in industrial application (this equates to one Hydra-Clean for every 2-3 industrial Karcher units)
- Calculate the return on investment (ROI) for the end user, it will be compelling
• The main selling features of the Hydra-Clean
- Can be placed in a hazardous location (electric, gas or diesel fuel units cannot)
- Stalls under pressure without recirculating like plunger pump models
- Field serviceable
- Considerably more durable
- Can handle abrasive fluids
