The Quadro 1200 TS(T) is an excellent design, and a very powerful pressure washer running on 3-Phase power supply (415 volt), designed with a large 16 litre water break tank and great stability. This is a monster of a machine! Making it fantastic for cleaning plant and heavy machinery as well as so many other demanding cleaning tasks.
Durable design for industrial and commercial use. The pressure of the Quadro 1200 TS(T) can be fully adjusted and at maximum will give 2900 psi. This is actual pressure at the nozzle, unlike low pressure chemical injectors where the actual pressure is around 30% lower than the gauge displays - something true of all pressure washers with low pressure chemical option.
The TurboKiller lance comes as standard with the Quadro 1200 TST model, and is available as an option with the TS. It is a tremendous help when cleaning stone work or tough jobs that need an aggressive spray equivalent to nearly 5800 psi. TurboKiller lance's produce an extremely powerful jet of spinning water that is quite capable of removing the surface of concrete or paint from metal. It is very aggressive, you wouldn't want to use it on a vehicle, the spinning pencil jet combines concentrated power over a larger working area.
The motor of the machine switches off to stand by mode if the trigger gun is not operated for 30 seconds, this delayed shutdown reduces unnecessary 'on/off' operation when say freeing the hose. When the trigger is squeezed again the machine instantly restarts. As an added safety feature, if you forget to switch the machine off after use it will switch itself off after 20 minutes of standing idle. There is only a small trace current to the micro-switch, prolonging its life compared to automatic machines without a circuit board.
All connections are brass screw fittings sealed by an O ring, so no tools are needed to change accessories or pack away the machine. There are storage compartments for the trigger gun with standard lance, and for the Turbokiller lance built into the casing of the machine. Winding lugs for the power cable keep the 7.5M power cable tidy.
TST machines come with 20M of twin wire steel braided, rubber coated high pressure hose on an integral drum, which is slightly larger than it needs to be, making it easy to wind up the hose. A heavy duty Starlet II gun assembly, lance and TurboKiller are also standard equipment, machines not fitted with hose drums come with 10M twin wire high pressure hose.
A major advantage to the new generation of pressure washer from Kranzle is that you can clean with detergents and degreasers at high pressure. This is a big help when cleaning engine compartments, gearboxes or pre-MOT cleaning on HGVs. It also increases the effectiveness of cleaning where hygiene and BIO-SECURITY is essential such as on farms, in areas with livestock, kennels or any food handling areas.
The water tank on a Quadro also protects the pump from being starved of water. On a conventional pressure washer attached to a tap via a hose if there is not enough water flow to the pump the pistons inside are held forward by the vacuum that forms on the inlet. This causes knocking in the transmission and serious damage to the pump if not rectified. The water tank on the Quadro acts as a buffer between the water mains and the pump and compensates for fluctuations in the supply - protecting the pump.
