Keep your PurePressure tank. Add automated agitation from US$9,950. The Hashtek A-Series Tall retrofits the PurePressure Bruteless 65-gallon center-drain vessel you already own. That starting equipment price includes Analog Control 2.1 and the Tall option, without a new tank; shipping and taxes are additional.
If you already own a PurePressure Bruteless 65-gallon center-drain wash vessel, you may not need to replace the stainless equipment around it to automate your wash process.
The Hashtek A-Series Tall was designed specifically to fit the additional height of this vessel and add controlled top-down agitation while preserving the rest of a compatible Bruteless workflow.
That makes it a practical option for operators searching for a PurePressure Bruteless agitator retrofit, an alternative to the PurePressure Axis, or a way to automate an existing 65-gallon hash washing tank.
At approximately 64% below the Axis's published US$27,500 launch price in June 2021, the analog retrofit offers a lower-cost way to automate an existing Bruteless tank. See the dated price and equipment comparison below.

Why the A-Series Tall exists
The 65-gallon Bruteless center-drain tank is taller than the vessels used with the standard A-Series configuration. The Tall Version places the bridge, drive, and paddle at the correct working height for this vessel.
The result is a straightforward, plug-and-play way to add automated top-down agitation without replacing a perfectly good stainless wash tank.
How the plug-and-play retrofit works
Set the A-Series Tall over the existing wash vessel, adjust the included sliding back-brace adapter to center the tank under the paddle, connect the selected control system, and wash. There is no welding, drilling, or permanent modification to the tank.
The sliding back-brace adapter also gives you room for up to 1 inch of insulation around the vessel while keeping the tank and paddle perfectly centered. You can keep the insulated Bruteless tank you already use instead of stripping it down for the agitator.
Your existing center-drain vessel remains the agitation tank. The A-Series Tall simply adds the agitator above it, so your PurePressure collection vessels, hoses, pumps, and recirculation plumbing continue working exactly as they do now.
A practical PurePressure Axis alternative
For a lab that already owns a Bruteless 65-gallon center-drain vessel and wants automated agitation, the A-Series Tall provides a straightforward alternative without requiring a complete replacement system.
The A-Series uses a removable stainless paddle and proprietary top-down agitation. It is also compatible with continuous recirculation workflows that move filtered water back to the wash vessel.
This lets an operator keep the wash vessel, collection vessels, sanitary plumbing, and cold-room workflow they already invested in while automating the agitation step.
A-Series Tall retrofit pricing vs. the PurePressure Axis
Published Hashtek pricing checked October 18, 2026. Both configurations below include the US$1,000 Tall Version option and use your existing PurePressure Bruteless 65-gallon center-drain tank.
| Agitator configuration | Equipment price (USD) | Compared with the Axis's 2021 launch price |
|---|---|---|
| A-Series, No Tank, Analog Control 2.1 + Tall Version | US$9,950 (US$8,950 + US$1,000) | US$17,550 less (approximately 64%) |
| A-Series, No Tank, 7-inch LCD Control + Tall Version | US$13,450 (US$12,450 + US$1,000) | US$14,050 less (approximately 51%) |
| PurePressure Axis — historical June 2021 launch price | US$27,500 | Historical reference; not a current offer |
Hashtek totals are calculated from the A-Series product listing with No Tank and the Tall Version selected. Shipping, taxes, a new tank, and any additional equipment are excluded. Check the product listing for current pricing before ordering.
The Axis reference comes from PurePressure's June 2, 2021 launch announcement, which listed US$27,500 plus shipping, with vessels sold separately. This is a comparison with a dated new-equipment price, not a current Axis quote or used-equipment price.
The systems have different workflows. The Axis launch announcement describes a relocating head that can move between multiple vessels and supports 30-, 44-, and 65-gallon Bruteless vessels. The A-Series Tall retrofit covered here adds top-down agitation to an existing 65-gallon center-drain vessel. The price comparison does not imply identical controls, throughput, or vessel-changing capability.
Choose Analog Control 2.1 or 7-inch LCD Control
The A-Series Tall is available with either Analog Control 2.1 or the 7-inch LCD Control.
- Analog Control 2.1: direct physical controls for operators who value simple, tactile adjustments.
- 7-inch LCD Control: more granular recipe control, including agitator settings and auxiliary pump control.

What to choose when ordering
Confirm that your vessel is the PurePressure Bruteless 65-gallon center-drain model. On the A-Series product page:
- Select No Tank to reuse your existing vessel.
- Choose Analog Control 2.1 or 7-inch LCD Control.
- Select the Tall Version (Designed to retrofit PurePressure 65 Gallon Center Drain Tanks) add-on. The standard-height configuration is not the Tall retrofit described here.
- Confirm your facility voltage with Hashtek and provide your shipping address for the freight quote.
Your existing PurePressure collection vessels and compatible recirculation equipment remain in use. If you have another Bruteless tank model, contact Hashtek to confirm fit before ordering.
