Why Pressure Washers Are Best for Cleaning Metal Surfaces

by


pressure washers

Pressure washers are used for cleaning a wide range of hard surfaces. Operators use them for such applications as industrial degreasing, auto detailing, and cleaning metal grills. Pressure washers are powerful machines capable of eliminating tough dirt and grease from metal surfaces, and for this reason, they are widely used in the industrial sector.

Efficient Cleaning

Pressure washers have a high output pressure level, reaching up to 8000 psi. However, for cleaning metal parts, heated machines with pressure levels of around 3000 psi are more suitable. Even though the pressure levels are lower than some cold water systems, heated machines offer superb results associated with heightened cleaning power of hot water and steam.

Heated machines, such as Daimer®’s Super Max™ 12300, include pressure levels of 3000 psi and tri-mode capabilities for a variety of cleaning applications. With non-heated output at room temperature, hot water output at 210°F, and steam output at 330°F, operators can choose which setting is best for the cleaning application at hand. It is important to make sure the metal surface is durable enough to withstand high pressure levels. For example, pressure levels of 1500 psi or lower are recommended for safe cleaning of automobiles, where higher pressure levels can cause damage.

Lastly, it is important to use pressure washers from quality suppliers, such as Daimer®. High quality composition lends itself to prolonged machine life and enhanced durability for use in the most demanding applications.
