What are Steam Pressure Washers and their Uses

by Lauren Zwiebel

There are steam cleaners and carpet steam cleaners – and now there are steam pressure washers. Steam cleaners provide steam output at very high temperatures to clean hard surfaces. Carpet steam cleaners are essentially carpet cleaners that provide heated output.

So, what are steam pressure washers? This post provides the answers.

Types of Pressure Washers
Pressure washing machines can be classified into three types based on their output temperature: cold water machines, hot water machines, and steam machines. Cold water machines do not have a heating element and can only accept pre-heated water. Hot water machines can raise the output temperature up to 210°F.

Steam pressure washers can provide an output temperature of 330°F, the highest for any pressure washing machine. The main advantage of these machines is that they can provide both high temperature and high pressure.

Uses of Steam Pressure Washers
Steam pressure washers from Daimer®, a reputable supplier, have a variety of uses. Machines in their Super Max™ series, such as the Super Max™ 12200, are used for heavy duty industrial degreasing, one of the hardest commercial cleaning tasks. These are also machines used for auto detailing.

Machines with high temperature output clean more efficiently and finish the job quickly. However, look got machines with low flow rates to ensure minimal water use and wastage.

Why Pressure Washers Are Best for Graffiti Removal

by Lauren Zwiebel

Pressure washers are well known for their high output pressure and cleaning efficiency. These systems are widely used for difficult cleaning tasks, such as industrial degreasing. These are commonly used for relatively mild cleaning processes too, such as auto detailing and graffiti removal.

Among such jobs, graffiti removal is of particular significance. Pressure washers are the most commonly used machines for this cleaning task. This postdiscusses reasons that make these machines suitable for removing graffiti from public places and commercial buildings.

Ideal Features
When removing graffiti, one requires a machine that can provide high pressure output flow. Pressure washers from Daimer® offer the ability to exert pressure levels up to 8000 psi. Machines with such high pressure are not required for normal graffiti removal tasks. For graffiti removal, the ideal machine will have an output pressure in the range of 3000 psi.

Function
Pressure washers such as the Super Max ™ 6000, use high pressure output that blast away the dirt and impurities, making the machines suitable for removing graffiti present on walls and floors.

One needs only to check the flow rate of the machine. Flow rate is the quantity of water passed to the surface per minute. Machines with a low flow rate must be used in areas where water is scarcely available and where water run-off facilities are poor.

Pressure Washers and the Cleaning Power of Steam

by Lauren Zwiebel

For heavy duty, formidable cleaning power that is also eco-friendly, steam pressure washers are the ideal choice. These units offer the most effective cleaning power in the industry by combining the abilities of pressure washing units and steam cleaning in one unit with tri-mode technology. These machines are ideal for a number of heavy-duty, industrial cleaning tasks ordinarily tackled using very harsh chemical cleaning agents. Steam pressure washers are equally adept at handling these kinds of cleaning tasks in a way that doesn’t harm the environment or leave behind any harmful fumes or traces.

Daimer® understands the unique and difficult challenges in removing various kinds of industrial sediment and debris. For instance, heavy grease is one of the most difficult deposits to remove, since it has a tendency to cling to the surface. As a result, a thin, sticky residual film may remain even after cleaning. Steam pressure washers from Daimer®, such as the Super Max™ 6000, perfectly combine the powers of pressure cleaning and steam cleaning to remove these kinds of deposits. Optimum pressure levels of 750 psi, temperature levels up to 330°F, and a flow rate of 1.4 GPM work to physically lift and wash away the deposit from the surface. At the same time, the steam works to soften and dissolve away the grease, making it easier to remove.

Industrial Pressure Washers Work on Machines, But What about Carpets?

by Lauren Zwiebel

When it comes to industrial cleaning, pressure washers are among the most popular cleaning machines that are used. Today, their popularity has increased for a number of different reasons. Because they are more eco-friendly, many companies are making the switch to pressure washing units to lessen their carbon footprint. These systems are not only effective, but they are versatile enough to be used on a range of different jobs.
