Pressurised Mine Equipment Washer
The Murray Engineering supplied Pressurised Mine Equipment Washer (MEW) is a new all-in-one mobile washing solution for the mining and infrastructure industries, improving safety and reducing wash time. It is a unique and purpose built vehicle taking washing capabilities to unmatched heights. The MEW provides operators with a highly efficient, reliable and safe equipment washer, which is fully mine-certified and ready to drive onto site immediately.
High Reach Telescopic Boom
Rotating at it’s base, the unique boom system provides a versatile operating range with smooth proportional movements. With a working height of up to 15 metres (approx. 49 feet) the MEW can easily access difficult parts of most large assets previously difficult to reach, allowing for an increased scope of works. The MEW is easy to manoeuvre and can be operated by one or two persons, ensuring maximum manpower efficiency. The unit can also be driven and operated from the basket, utilising only one person if required.
Compared to traditional methods, the MEW requires minimal set-up time. No outriggers are required and no external cables or hoses are needed, reducing congestion around the cleaning site. The MEW is simply driven to the asset on site ready to undertake washing.

A FLEXIBLE SOLUTION
The Murray Engineering MEW is the most flexible equipment washer on the market. Other variations are inefficient, have lower capacity, do not encompass a telescopic boom to reach heights, and thus require other supplementary equipment to get the job done. The MEW is fully mine certified, and has been tried and tested as an effective washer and de-icer in the aviation industry by Vestergaard over many years. It is an efficient, compact solution for cleaning and maintenance.
The unit is built on a chassis from a world-renowned manufacturer, and its Australian Road approval allows the vehicle to be driven safely from site to site, without expensive freight costs.
Equipped with a total of 7,600 litre capacity tanks for water and detergent and an onboard heating system, the Pressurised Mine Equipment Washer is ready to clean within minutes of arrival at temperatures from ambient to 95 degrees. Cleaning of equipment is conducted with efficient, high/low pressure spray guns in the basket or at ground level, by up to two trained operators at the same time.
