High-pressure cleaning system HDC 40/16

The HDC 40/16, housed in a steel frame, delivers 160 bar and 4,000 l/h for up to four users at the same time. The modern PLC control unit ensures intelligent monitoring and optimal operation.

The HDC 40/16 stationary high-pressure cleaner is designed for businesses with extremely high cleaning requirements. With a pressure of 160 bar and a flow rate of 4,000 litres per hour, it delivers outstanding cleaning performance for industrial use. The intelligent system features two high-quality crankshaft pumps with brass cylinder heads, which are controlled by a modern PLC control unit. The PLC automatically switches the pumps on or off depending on water demand and ensures that both motors are used equally by balancing their operating hours. Thanks to its enormous capacity, up to four users can work simultaneously, each at a rate of 1,000 litres per hour. The robust design, featuring a powder-coated steel frame, ensures durability, whilst 4-pole electric motors with soft-start function protect the mechanical components. A key advantage is the PLC control unit: operating parameters can be tailored to the specific application, and the user is informed of the status or any error messages in real time via the display. In the event of any irregularities, the control unit immediately shuts down the machine for safety reasons. This makes the HDC 40/16 the ideal solution for industry, agriculture and the transport sector.

Features and benefits
High-pressure cleaning system HDC 40/16: Simultaneous use by up to 4 users possible
Simultaneous use by up to 4 users possible
Increased productivity and time savings through parallel completion of cleaning tasks by several employees. Savings in investment and maintenance costs thanks to a centralised, high-performance machine for multiple operations instead of several high-pressure cleaners. Shorter set-up times thanks to ready-to-use extraction points that require no installation or connection.
High-pressure cleaning system HDC 40/16: With PLC control unit that monitors and regulates all parameters
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. Thanks to the demand-driven activation of the pumps, the system always operates within its optimal performance range, thereby reducing both energy consumption and wear and tear. The built-in display makes it easy to monitor operating parameters and, thanks to clear error messages, reduces response times when maintenance is required.
High-pressure cleaning system HDC 40/16: Robust and reliable
Robust and reliable
Robust crankshaft pump with brass cylinder head and high-quality materials ensure a long service life. Low-speed industrial pump 4-pole low-speed electric motors with soft-starter guarantee long service life.
PLC control unit with master-slave function
  • Thanks to the master-slave function, a second unit can be switched on as required. This allows for efficient capacity expansion without replacing the existing plant.
  • The integrated master-slave function allows two HDC machines to be linked in parallel. The PLC coordinates both units to ensure maximum water flow.
  • The master-slave function links two machines to form an intelligent system that minimises downtimes and optimises capacity utilisation.
Robust design for harsh working conditions
  • Solid steel frame.
  • Robust crankshaft pump with brass cylinder head and high-quality materials ensure a long service life.
  • Reliable and durable Kärcher high-performance crankshaft pump ensures optimal pressure.
Is ready for use quickly at any time
  • The machine is always ready to go for maximum productivity and flexibility.
  • The pump starts as soon as the trigger gun is activated, allowing convenient working from any supply point.
  • Ready at the push of a button, with no set-up times or transporting mobile machines.
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 attachment kit is available, featuring a robust steel housing that offers optimum protection.
  • Suitable accessories for every work site and every application can be individually selected from the Kärcher high-pressure range.
Simple operation, maintenance and servicing
  • The display of error codes, operating status and maintenance intervals for the pumps, as well as monitoring of the machine for faults, makes servicing easier.
  • Particularly user-friendly thanks to self-explanatory symbols. No need for time-consuming induction.
  • Less downtime and longer productivity thanks to faster routine maintenance and repairs.
