This team of Virginia Tech engineering students has truly set a benchmark for innovation and excellence. At AR North America, we are delighted to have supported their endeavor with our Pressure Pump system, contributing to their successful design. The Diggeridoos skillfully integrated our […]
Probably the easiest way to understand how a pressure washer functions is to diagnose a unit and see how it is constructed. We have selected a cold water portable unit for this purpose. First you have your power source (engine or motor) this is what created the energy to drive the pump. It and the […]
The trigger gun and unloader valve are the two main components of the most common safety system for high pressure cleaning equipment. Essentially, depressing the trigger allows water to flow out of the system through the nozzle under pressure while releasing the trigger diverts water flow back to the pump. The pump, however, continues to […]
This article is meant to provide an overview of basic maintenance high pressure plunger pumps in industrial applications. The pump is the heart of today's pressure washer, and it is usually the most neglected component in the system. As long as it is working it is not thought about, as soon as it fails it […]
