High-pressure cleaning system HDC 40/16

The HDC 40/16, housed in a steel frame, delivers 160 bar and 4,000 l/h for up to four users at the same time. The modern PLC control unit ensures intelligent monitoring and optimal operation.

The stationary high-pressure cleaner HDC 40/16 is designed for applications with high cleaning demands. With 160 bar and a flow rate of 4,000 l/h, it offers continuously adjustable cleaning performance for industrial use. The system features 2 crankshaft pumps with brass cylinder heads controlled via an PLC control system. The PLC automatically activates or deactivates the pumps based on water demand and balances operating hours to ensure equal workload distribution across all 2 motors. The system capacity allows up to 4 operators to work simultaneously at 1,000 l/h each. The steel frame construction houses the components for daily multi-shift operation, while 4-pole electric motors with soft start minimize mechanical load peaks. A key functional element is the PLC control: operating parameters can be configured for specific applications, and real-time status updates and error notifications are displayed to the user. In the event of operational irregularities, the control system shuts down the machine automatically for protective purposes. This makes the HDC 40/16 a specialized solution for industry, agriculture, and the transport sector.

Features and benefits

Simultaneous use by up to 4 users possible

Increased productivity and time savings through parallel completion of cleaning tasks by several employees.Savings in investment and maintenance costs thanks to a centralised, high-performance machine for multiple operations instead of several high-pressure cleaners.Shorter set-up times thanks to ready-to-use extraction points that require no installation or connection.

With PLC control unit that monitors and regulates all parameters

The intelligent control unit ensures continuous, safe and trouble-free operation of the plant by automatically monitoring all operating conditions.By switching pumps on as needed, the system adjusts its output directly to actual water consumption, avoiding unnecessary energy use and reducing mechanical stress on components during partial operation.The built-in display makes it easy to monitor operating parameters and, thanks to clear error messages, reduces response times when maintenance is required.

Engineered for continuous commercial and industrial use

PLC control unit with master-slave function

Thanks to the master-slave function, a second unit can be switched on as needed. This allows capacity to be expanded precisely to requirements without having to replace the existing system.

The integrated master-slave function allows two HDC machines to be linked in parallel. The PLC coordinates both units to ensure maximum water flow.

The master-slave function links two machines to form an intelligent system that minimises downtimes and optimises capacity utilisation.
