New machines, hiring options to spread the cost and a wide range of cleaning equipment are all on offer from Pressure Clean as 2025 heralds another busy year for the Uckfield-based team headed up by Gary and Donna Fielding.
Pressure Clean, with a well-established reputation for supplying, servicing and repairing pressure washers and other cleaning equipment across the South East, carries a wide range of Nilfisk and Karcher models that run from the simplest cold water fill washer through to three-phase hot water machines that can make light work of the dirtiest combine harvester.
Alongside the pressure washers that have been the core part of their business over more than 50 years, Pressure Clean sells and services a broad range of industrial vacuums, ride-on sweeper scrubbers and floorcare equipment that can help farmers keep barns and other buildings spick and span.
With farmers currently facing a number of financial challenges, Pressure Clean also offers long-term hire deals that are designed to give farmers worry-free use of the equipment they need for a modest monthly payment that includes maintenance costs and avoids an upfront capital spend.
Short term hire over a day or weekend is another option, allowing a farmer to deep clean a barn or shed, for instance, without having to buy a machine they wouldn’t use regularly enough to justify the expenditure. Full training on how to use the equipment is provided and hire machines can normally be delivered to site within 24 hours.
The machinery itself continues to evolve, with Nilfisk rolling out a new, rebranded range in a darker colour that reflects the fact that it uses a higher percentage of environmentally friendly recycled plastic.
First out of the rebrand stable is the Nilfisk MC 2C range, a lower cost machine that is ideal for light agricultural use and promises to tackle daily cleaning tasks with “ease, speed and efficiency”.
The cold-water range features a new hose design that minimises tangles and is easier to reel in, a unique, pressure activated system and an ergonomically designed spray gun that Nilfisk claims reduces the risk of strain for the operator while allowing the machine to work more efficiently at a lower pressure and save energy. Colour coded touchpoints are designed to make life simple for the operator.
Not to be outdone, Karcher has updated its popular three phase HDS 10/20-4M range, replacing it with the HDS 10/21-4M, the single digit difference revealing a slight improvement in operating pressure, from 200 bar to 210.
Beyond that, the range sports a new, updated look, impressive reliability and simplified, one switch, front panel operation. Karcher claims its ‘made in Germany’ burner technology ensures high efficiency and low emissions, while its three-phase power supply will appeal to many farmers and growers.
Karcher has also released a new EcoBooster accessory nozzle that offers 50% higher area performance compared to its standard Power nozzle. Suitable for cold and hot water pressure washers, the EcoBooster produces a wider spray pattern with no loss of pressure.
“It uses clever technology that cleans a 50% larger area with the same amount of water and at the same pressure,” explained Gary. “That means whatever you are cleaning ends up just as clean but takes less time, less water and less energy to achieve the same result.”
The new nozzle can be used with most existing Karcher HD and HDS machines and is ideal for cleaning large areas, such as walls, trailers and lorries, efficiently and quickly. “It’s a well-priced accessory that can quickly pay for itself in saved time and energy,” Gary added.
Pressure Clean will be showcasing the new EcoBooster nozzles at Farm Expo at the Kent Showground on Wednesday 5 March and will be offering one free with certain Karcher pressure washers.
While sales of new machines are still buoyant, with farmers facing a number of financial pressures they are also keen to keep their existing pressure washers working efficiently for longer, which is where the company’s experienced service team comes into play.
Pressure Clean has five highly skilled engineers, four of them mobile and all of them able to maintain, service and repair the full range of machines that the company sells – together with plenty that it doesn’t.
“We offer competitively priced servicing plans that allow farmers and growers to spread their costs and avoid surprises, but we can also carry out repairs either here at Uckfield or on site,” Gary explained. “Machines can usually be repaired for a reasonable cost, giving them an extended lease of life and avoiding the cost of a new machine, although the improved technology on offer can make that option tempting.”
