High-pressure cleaning system HDC 60/16 VA
The HDC 60/16 VA, housed in a stainless steel frame, delivers 160 bar and 6000 l/h for up to six users at the same time. The modern PLC control unit ensures intelligent monitoring and optimal operation.
The stationary high-pressure cleaner HDC 60/16 VA is designed for applications with high cleaning demands. With 160 bar and a flow rate of 6,000 l/h, it offers continuously adjustable cleaning performance for industrial use. The system features 3 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 3 motors. The system capacity allows up to 6 operators to work simultaneously at 1,000 l/h each. The stainless 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 60/16 VA a specialized solution for industry, agriculture, and the transport sector.
Features and benefits
Simultaneous use by up to 6 users possible
Increased productivity and time savings through parallel completion of cleaning tasks by several employees. No set-up times thanks to immediate cleaning start at the extraction points. Savings in investment and maintenance costs thanks to a centralised, high-performance machine for multiple operations instead of several high-pressure cleaners.
Powerful and reliable
15 kW Kärcher crankshaft pump 4-pole low-speed electric motors with soft-starter guarantee long service life. Low-speed industrial pump
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. The built-in display makes it easy to monitor operating parameters and, thanks to clear error messages, reduces response times when maintenance is required. 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.PLC control unit with master-slave function
- The integrated master-slave function allows two HDC machines to be linked in parallel. The PLC coordinates both units to ensure maximum water flow.
- 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 master-slave function links two machines to form an intelligent system that minimises downtimes and optimises capacity utilisation.
Is ready for use quickly at any time
- Ready at the push of a button, with no set-up times or transporting mobile machines.
- Shorter set-up times thanks to ready-to-use extraction points that require no installation or connection.
- The pump starts as soon as the trigger gun is activated, allowing convenient working from any supply point.
Flexible and versatile
- High productivity, thanks to simultaneous use by multiple users at different operation sites.
- Flexible use, thanks to new extraction points for additional areas and higher cleaning requirements.
- Suitable accessories for every work site and every application can be individually selected from the Kärcher high-pressure range.
Robust design for harsh working conditions
- Corrosion-resistant stainless steel frame with easy-to-clean surfaces.
- Robust crankshaft pump with brass cylinder head and high-quality materials ensure a long service life.
- Stainless steel and brass components combined with a stainless steel frame, engineered for daily multi-shift operation.
Extensive range of accessories and attachment kits
- For applications involving hot water, an optional advance pressure pump attachment kit is available, which ensures reliable operation at water inlet temperatures of up to 85 °C.
- An optional mounting kit with a stainless steel housing is available, protecting the unit from splashed water and mechanical stress.
High-quality equipment
- Large supply tank with a float valve, water filter, temperature monitoring and dry-running protection for maximum safety and consistent process quality.
- Intelligent monitoring of operating status, error messages and maintenance intervals for precise control and high operational reliability.
- The HDC machine stands out thanks to its high-quality industrial design and extensive technical features.
Service-friendly design with easily accessible components for short maintenance times and reliable system availability.
- Good accessibility for easy service and maintenance.
- Less downtime and longer productivity thanks to faster routine maintenance and repairs.
- Cost-effectiveness thanks to long service life and low repair costs for long-term economical operation.
