Gates' new clean master plus pressure wash hose can really pack a punch
Gates, a global maufacturer of highly engineered power transmission and fluid power solutions, is launching the Clean Master Plus hose, built for high pressure applications in demanding industrial environments.
Clean Master Plus benefits from innovation in advanced materials and wire reinforcement technology to operate at extremely high pressures of up to 6,000 psi - arguably three times more than the average pressure washer hose.
This next generation hose construction also stands out for being 22% lighter and 50% more flexible on average compared to existing 6,000 psi hoses, improving ergonomics and safety, reducing worker fatigue while also increasing productivity.
Features and benefits of Clean Master Plus include:
* REACH compliant, ozone and abrasion resistant cover for lasting performance in tough environments
* Smooth cover for exceptional manoeuverability on rough surfaces
* Higher operating temperature (up to 300ºF) compared to existing version
* Flexible and lightweight construction for easy handling
* Compact design reduces space requirements for storage
* Compatible with Megacrimp couplings, stainless steel couplings, and Gates Crimpers
"We know industrial cleaning is a tough job, and designed Clean Master Plus to last longer, operate at higher pressures, and be easier to use," says Tom Pitstick, president APAC and Global Strategy. "This hose platform leverages the latest in our advanced materials and wire reinforcement technology to withstand the toughest conditions in construction, marine, general manufacturing, public works, mining, and commercial property maintenance applications, to name a few.
"Gates has a long history of innovating and pushing boundaries to engineer products that exceed our customers' expectations."
Clean Master Plus is a result of Gates' Eco-Innovation product development system. This process used the company's capabilities across materials science development, process engineering and product design to develop high-quality, high-performance products that exceed customer expectations, while also helping to reduce environmental impacts of the products through the life cycle, including how they are manufactured.
