Cannot find high-flow water cleaning gun
Cannot find high-flow water cleaning gun
(OP)
Hi,
I am looking to purchase 10 new guns for our pressure washers, but am limited due to our existing pumps.
The highest rated pressure washer I can find is here:
http:/ /www.north erntool.co m/shop/too ls/product _200402932 _200402932
It's rated for 2500 psi and 30 GPM.
However, our Cat pumps are rated at 60 GPM output (model 6020) seen here:
http://www.catpumps.com/select/pdfs/6020.pdf
We don't have the option to change the pumps since we already have 10 in the field mounted to our cleaning trucks.
I would like to know if there are any spray guns that can handle 60 GPM @ 1000 psi or if we have to design our own spray gun.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Give these CMC a call and I'm sure they can take care of your requirements.

Found some in the 30 GPM range. We may have to build our own with aluminum.
RE: Cannot find high-flow water cleaning gun
I say this even though your pressures aren't in the very dangerous range, but are high enough to inflect some damage.

I am looking for the strongest filler/base combo to give us the highest weld strength.

I'd have to work it out but I'd check you could actually hold this baby down!
That isn't a lot of pressure but your talking huge flows through a hand held gun.
Are you using these pump at this flow currently?
www.calder.co.uk may be able to help, as they do much higher pressures and could at least advise you.
RE: Cannot find high-flow water cleaning gun
High-flow pressure washers typically are meant for multiple-wand, multiple-man usage, or for equipment designed to utilize the high flow rate (pipe cleaning, e.g.) where the spray wands are held/fed mechanically, not manually.
RE: Cannot find high-flow water cleaning gun
As I originally posted to accomplish what the OP ask would be to get a higher pressure component and just change the nozzle orifice to accommodate his conditions.

Cannondale and btrueblood,
Yes we currently use a Cat pump 6020 on our trucks with 1-2 guns per pump. Roughly 30GPM and 800 psi on each gun. Our current gun is a 1950 design made with 304SS 3/4" SCH-40 seamless pipe (1.05" OD, .824" ID). Much larger than the guns out there to handle the flow. And yes our guys leave with big bruises on their shoulders, even with the shoulder pads.
I found a 53GPM gun made by General Pump, so I may order one to try out, with the right nozzle as unclesyd mentioned.

I suppose if your in the US you'll find somebody to help you out (have you tried Stoneage), if not try Calder.
