Pressure Washers – The Right Choice for Marine Applications

by Lauren Zwiebel

The demands of marine cleaning applications are entirely different from other maintenance jobs. This is why boat owners or cleaning professionals generally have a hard time keeping their boats or ships in pristine condition. To prevent black algae and spills from turning the docks into slippery and unpleasant areas, you must thoroughly clean the docks on a daily basis. Other things that can mess up docks include leakages from oil, beer, sewer tanks, fish guts or fuel. Only pressure washers can help you clean off such difficult deposits in no time.

When you need to efficiently manage marine cleaning tasks, remember it is time to turn to top-grade pressure washers such as the Super Max™ series available from Daimer®. The ruggedly designed, high-performance power cleaning machines in this range are great for maintaining various surfaces in ships, boats, and other marine vessels thereby eliminating the need to scrub or wipe.

Steam cleaners are not the best options for cleaning boats primarily due to their low pressure levels. As a result, it is impossible to wash away tough dirt deposits with steam cleaning equipment. On the other hand, powerful pressure washers such as the Super Max™ 6000 can attain pressure levels of 750 psi. Such high pressure levels combined with steam temperatures of up to 330ºF endow these pressure washers with unmatched cleaning capabilities. The tri-mode functions of the Super Max™ 6000 enable it to function as a hot water pressure cleaner, a cold water power cleaner and a steam power washer.

Pressure Washers Take the Pressure off Public Cleaning

by Lauren Zwiebel

Pressure washers are used for a variety of different cleaning applications, ranging from auto detailing to cleaning agricultural equipment. These units are an effective and eco-friendly alternative to many other conventional cleaning methods, particularly those that involve harsh chemical cleaning agents.

The pressure washers from Daimer® use force of pressurized water to lift and remove different kinds of sediments and deposits from a number of different surfaces. One area in which these machines have proven to be very useful is in cleaning public areas like parks and streets.

Pressure washers are perfect for the task of cleaning public areas like sidewalks, walkways, parking lots, roads, and even public transportation vehicles. These are all things that are used by hundreds of people, every single day. As a result, they not only pick up a lot of dirt and debris, but they need to be kept as clean as possible at all times.

Using chemical cleaning products is not always the best option as they often can't get rid of hardened or very stubborn sediments. Pressure washing units use the power of varying pressure levels, flow rates, and temperature options to get the job done.

Pressure washers also come in varying modes as well, each one suited to a different kind of cleaning task. For example, Daimer®’s Super Max™ 8900C-640 cold water pressure washing units can handle relatively light jobs, like cleaning indoor walkways.

Tougher cleaning tasks, like washing parking lots that are spotted with grease stains, can be better handled with hot-water units. The toughest cleaning tasks are best handled using steam pressure washing units.

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. While light cleaning jobs can be tackled with cold water units, steam pressure washers are the optimum choice for jobs like degreasing. Just as there are specific pressure washers suited to industrial cleaning jobs, there are specific carpet cleaners to be used on carpets.

Pressure washers are far too powerful for cleaning carpets. With high pressure levels, reaching up to 8000 psi, this can surely damage carpets, rugs, and upholstery. In addition, the excessive amounts of water used will leave the carpets extremely wet, taking them a long time to dry. For this reason, pressure washers should be used for cleaning durable hard surfaces.

Pressure washers, such as Daimer®’s Super Max™ 6000, feature pressure levels of 750 psi, flow rates of 1.4 GPM, and pressure levels up to 330°F. With such high pressure levels, this machine would surely damage carpets. However, pressure washers such as this are ideal for auto detailing, cleaning walkways and buildings, and degreasing tasks.

Using Truck-Mounted Pressure Washers for Commercial Cleaning

by Lauren Zwiebel

Pressure washers are among the best cleaning machines if you want to undertake outdoor cleaning operations. Besides being tough on many types of stains, they are ideal for use on hard and rugged surfaces. Mobile pressure washing machines are, in fact, preferred for outdoor cleaning because of the many advantages they offer over other similar cleaning machines.

Truck- and trailer-mounted pressure washers are designed specifically for use in commercial establishments and industries. The cleaning areas here are widespread and involve moving the machines all over the place to achieve optimum cleaning results. Daimer® mobile cleaning machines are well known for their solid performance and durability. The Super Max™ 12200, for instance, is a mobile pressure washing machine available with Daimer®’s Long Hose Technology. This makes it possible for the machine to reach up to 300 feet away without affecting its performance.

Mobile pressure washers that can be mounted on trucks and trailers can be transported over long distances easily. They run continuously for hours and can withstand high temperatures and pressure levels. They can be run on propane, gas, diesel, or even electricity. The multiple methods of operation make it easy to use in almost any situation, regardless of the availability of a source of electricity.

Truck-mounted pressure washers best handle commercial cleaning requirements. They offer flexibility and are powerful enough to take care of the toughest of cleaning tasks in commercial establishments. Because of their highly powerful action, they can be used to remove stubborn and tough stains from commercial settings.

Types of Mobile Pressure Washers

by Lauren Zwiebel

Pressure washers can be found under various categories. These machines are classified based on their source of power, such as electric, gasoline, diesel, and propane pressure washers. In addition, there are portable machines and stationary machines. Mobile pressure washers are further divided into truck-mounted machines and wheel-attached machines. The following is a brief introduction to each of these types of machines offered by Daimer®, a reputable supplier of pressure washers.

Truck-Mounted Machines
These pressure washers, as their name suggests, can be mounted onto trucks or trailers. Manual effort is minimal for operating these machines. These machines are ideal for cleaning large areas, such as parks or large parking lots. Many cleaning companies prefer these machines for industrial cleaning.

Wheel-Attached Machines
Wheel attached machines are ideal for those needing mobility to a smaller area. These machines can be pushed around to the desired location. The manual effort required for operating these machines is higher than that for operating truck-mounted machines. Still, their low cost and ease of use make them ideal candidates for cleaning small areas.

The most important thing one must remember when buying these machines is to select the appropriate energy source. Mobile pressure washers operate mostly in outdoor locations. It is often not easy to find electric outlets in such locations. Although these machines can be used along with a generator, fuel powered machines are cordless and can more about more freely.

Marine Cleaning With Pressure Washers

by Lauren Zwiebel

Pressure washers are usually associated with high-profile hard surface cleaning or industrial cleaning. A typical example of the use of these machines is heavy-duty industrial degreasing. The main source of the power of pressure washing machines comes from a combination of pressure level and temperature settings. Sophisticated machines from Daimer® can reach pressure levels as high as 8000 psi (non-heated machines) and temperature levels up to 330°F.

The cleaning of boats and ships can be a difficult task, especially when barnacles and algae attach to the boat. Using pressure washers with powerful pressure levels can help blast away these impurities, keeping your boat clean and well maintained.

The following information provided helps you understand pressure washers for marina cleaning.

Cleaning Boats and Vessels
Keeping a boat clean and well maintained is one of the most important marine cleaning tasks. Boats and marine vessels have to be cleaned regularly. Dirt and impurities become more menacing if the surface is in regular contact with water. Almost all kinds of surfaces, wood, metal, or fiber, tend to be damaged by the combination of water and dirt.

Pressure washers can blast away dirt and impurities from hard surfaces with their high pressure output. An extremely high pressure output is not required for cleaning marine vessels. Pressure washing machines with an output pressure level of 1500 psi, such as Daimer®’s Super Max™ 9000 would be ideal for marine cleaning tasks. This machine features flow rates of 2.8 GPM and steam temperatures up to 250°F.
