Should You Purchase a Truck Mounted Pressure Washer?

by Lauren Zwiebel

When buying pressure washers, there are a number of different options to consider such as power method, pressure level, flow rate, and heated or non-heated configurations. Another feature in many commercial pressure washers is mobility, an important factor to consider when you need to clean different parts of the same building or need to take the machine along to a client’s location.

Truck mounted pressure washers are specifically designed for commercial and industrial use. They can be transported longer distances than stationary or wheel-mounted machines. They can run continuously for hours and withstand high temperatures and pressure levels better than home use machines. You have the option of purchasing electric, propane, gas, or diesel powered truck mounted machines. Propane, gas, and diesel engines provide additional mobility benefits over electric motors, as proximity to a source of electricity is not required.

Heated mobile pressure washers have a heating device that requires heating fuel such as oil or kerosene. These may be bulkier than cold water machines which could affect the machine’s mobility. However, heated machines offer many advantages over non-heated machines, primarily because heat is a very effective cleaning component.

Therefore, you need to assess whether your business cleaning requirements would be best handled with truck mounted pressure washers. In general, truck mounted machines are ideal for cleaning and janitorial services, as well as mobile car washers.

Benefits of Tri-Mode Pressure Washers

by Lauren Zwiebel

Tri-mode pressure washers provide three outputs: cold water, hot water, and steam. The machines allow users to select one machine for handling different cleaning applications, as opposed to three.

Cold Water and Hot Water Output

Many machines on the market provide cold water and hot water outputs. Cold water output means the water released by the gun is at room temperature. The water or cleaning solution are not heated at all. Hot water output has a temperature of 210°F. These pressure washers have a heating element that raises the output temperature of the water, enabling operators to more readily soften and blast away hardened deposits.

Steam Output

Steam output goes one step further than hot water output. The steam output has a temperature of 330°F. Pressure washers that provide steam output have the maximum cleaning efficiency and can easily dissolve a host of stubborn substances.

Tri-Mode Machines

To clean a variety of surfaces, you will need a cleaning machine with different temperature ranges. Machines with steam output have higher cleaning efficiency, but these are not suitable for cleaning delicate or heat-sensitive surfaces, nor is this enhanced power necessary for lighter applications. The surfaces should be sturdy enough to withstand the high-pressure levels and high-temperature output.

Now, with the introduction of tri-mode pressure washers, you can use a single machine to clean almost all kinds of surfaces.

Tough Degreasing Jobs? Leave It to Pressure Washers

by Lauren Zwiebel

One way to determine the power of pressure washers is to look at their temperature options. Reputable distributors like Daimer® now offer an exciting range of pressure cleaning machines that utilize cold water, hot water, or steam to accomplish the cleaning process. To handle highly challenging cleaning jobs, heated versions of pressure cleaning equipment is recommended. Since such power cleaners eject hot water or steam at high temperatures, they are extremely effective in dissolving and removing dirt, grime, stains, oil, and grease from different surfaces.

Choosing heated versions of pressure washers are a good idea especially when you need to clean greasy industrial surfaces in food manufacturing plants. Power cleaners that eject cold water are often unsuitable for such situations. The cold water will change the greasy deposits into clumps that can be very difficult to clean unless a degreasing chemical is used as well, like Eco-Green® Ultra-Power™ Degreaser. On the other hand, the hot water or steam generated by heated models of pressure washers will almost instantly dissolve greasy deposits, enabling the machine to easily blast these deposits away.

The Super Max™ 12800 is among the top selling models of Daimer®'s pressure washers. This trailer-mountable, tri-mode pressure cleaner can generate cold water, hot water, or steam, enabling users to tack virtually every cleaning application. With a moderate flow rate of 2 GPM, high steam temperatures reaching up to 330°F, and a moderate pressure level of 1000 PSI, the Super Max™ 12800 can effectively eliminate stains and grease from various surfaces like stone, brick, floors, stainless steel, stone, driveways, sidewalks, and industrial equipment.
