PSC - Multi-Stage / Multi Pump & Centralized Pumping and Pressure Washing Systems

Certain cleaning operations require more than one person cleaning at the same time. A PSC multi-stage cleaning system is a series of motor-pump packages connected to one set of controls. It responds to demand for high pressure water by automatically staging in, or starting, only the number of pumps needed. As demand falls, the pumps stage out.

Locate the unit in a convenient place and plumb it to the cleaning areas. The operator only connects a high pressure hose and gun at a cleaning station and squeezes the trigger, which also protects the equipment from misuse. High pressure water (usually 1000 to 3000 psi) travels through a network of high pressure piping to cleaning stations, typically a PSC CS-1 Cleaning Station with a quick disconnect that allows cleaning chemicals to be introduced without affecting overall system pressure.

PSC centralized systems are designed to fit your cleaning requirements, so you don't have to adapt to an off-the-shelf machine. With an electric heat exchanger, no flammable fuel source is required and the system can be installed anywhere.

Advantages

• Higher productivity and long-term cost savings compared with portable propane or oil-fired equipment
• Larger pump/motor combinations are possible for multiple outlet applications
• A heater positioned downstream of the pump heats only the water being called for
• Complete automatic operation controlled by flow switches; the operator does not need to be near the equipment

Typical Applications

• Food processing facilities
• Pharmaceutical companies
• Pulp and paper mills
• Cargo ships
• Rendering plants
• Automotive dealerships
• Hotels and convention centres
• Any multi-operator cleaning application

Standard Equipment

• System controls with low inlet water pressure protection and inlet water temperature protection
• Selector switches: individual pump control switches and a primary pump selector switch to alternate which pump starts first or take a pump off-line for servicing
• Motor circuit protection: motor circuit fusing, overload protection and control circuit fusing
• Continuous-duty piston or plunger pumps, belt driven by high efficiency motors, with solid state time delay shutdown
• Regulating unloader valve(s), check valves on each pump unit, and inlet and discharge accumulators
• Heavy duty powder coated steel frame with individual steel pulley guards
