ENERGY EFFICIENT PRESSURE WASHERS
May 1st 2005

Developed for small to medium industrial, automotive and agricultural cleaning applications, Nilfisk-Alto’s Neptune 3 series is said to set new standards for compact hot water pressure washers.

Built around an EcoPower boiler, the seven Neptune 3 models achieve greater than 92% energy efficiency, comfortably meeting legislative requirements that safeguard the environment.

Fuel consumption ranges from 2.55 to 3.7kg/h. The company believes this to be 15% better than comparable machines using old technology. The EcoPower boiler produces water at 80°C and steam at 140°C.

The quiet-running, longlife Alto NP3 pump with full ceramic pistons and 1450rpm motor produces up to 560L/h with 2.2kg cleaning impact in the entry level Neptune 3-22 and up to 825L/h with 4.1kg cleaning impact in the top end Neptune 3-41X.

Power consumption ranges from 2.85 to 5.2kW.

Smaller machines use 230V single phase power; larger versions require 400V threephase current.

Weighing 118 to 130kg, the machines are compact and easy to transport. They have simple, accessible control panels that allow the operator to set the optimum balance of temperature, pressure and water flow for each applications.
