A range of three high-pressure water pumps, two small manual pumps and an automatic moisture eliminator has been announced by the Industrial Products Division of Automations International (UK) Ltd. The water-flow ranges of the high-pressure water pumps vary from 2 gal /min to 11.6 gal /min while the pressure range is from 450 psi to 1100 psi. The models are the Baron 15, 18 and 50. Other components for highpressure washer use which will also be available in the UK will include proportioning devices, relief valves, gun and hose assemblies, wands and nozzles.
The positive-displacement pumps have corrosive-resistant components, only stainless-steel or brass parts being exposed to the liquid being pumped. The pumps are said to be ideally suited for such applications as high-pressure cleaning machines and high-pressure spraying devices.
The manual pump models, the KlOC and KO, have been specifically designed for use with solvents such as perchlorethylene and petroleum oils. Of the lightweight-barrel type, the model K10C has a capacity of 5 gal /min and is supplied with 25ft of PVC hose.
Model KO is a piston-type pump and is claimed to be ideal for emptying the sludge that collects in the bottom of the base tank. It is fitted with an adjustable barrel connector in the centre (which can be unscrewed to vary the depth as required) PVC hose and an outlet nozzle. It has a capacity of 3 gal /min.
Designed to keep air compressor tanks and air lines free of water, the moisture eliminator is known as the Arid Aire. It automatically expels moisture when the compressor, machine or air tool system it is connected to starts or stops. The model MC is designed for the air line of air-operated tools and spray guns. It functions automatically on intermittent flow of air as the tool or gun is used. Intended for use on air-compressor tanks, the model A can be installed on air-operated machines below the air-line trap.
