Pressure Washer Equipment – High Pressure Levels Make Cleaning Easy



Good pressure washer equipment uses consistently high pressure levels for achieving maximum cleanliness in minimum time. Pressure washer nozzles eject a stream of water at high pressure. This powerful water jet blasts dirt off the surface.

Pressure washing may also use high temperatures for removing grease, sugar, and proteins. Organic matter and oil tend to coagulate at room temperature. Heat melts them and the spray of water washes away the residue. While pressure levels alone create a powerful force, heated machines allow for quicker and easier cleaning.

Pressure washer equipment also reduces the need for detergents. High pressure levels can remove most dirt, including layers of chemicals or grease, using the mechanical force of the water spray. In some instances where detergents are necessary, pressure washer equipment from Daimer®, such as the Super Max™ 9000, are equipped with a siphon-type chemical application technology. This allows the user to spray detergent on the surface while cleaning to enhance cleaning power and speed up the cleaning process further.

Not all commercial industrial applications require extremely high pressure levels. Machines such as the Super Max™ 15900 have pressure levels as high as 3000 psi and are ideal for cleaning factory floors and manufacturing/processing plants. However, these high pressure levels can damage certain surfaces such as antique wood, car exteriors, and bricks. Machines such as the Vapor-Flo® 8025, with pressure levels of 1450 psi and 0.4 GPM flow rate, are ideal for pressure washing cars, boats, SUVs, and trucks.

Benefits of Gas Powered Pressure Washer Equipment



There are many types of pressure washer equipment available on the market. These include gas powered machines, propane powered machines, diesel powered machines, and electric machines.

Most fuel powered machines work very similarly. The main part of these machines is a pump that is powered by a combustion engine, where a fuel is burned to derive energy. On the other hand, in electric power washers the pump is powered by an electric motor.

Each type of machines has its own advantages. The following are some of the advantages of gas powered pressure washer equipment.

Portability

The greatest advantage of gas pressure washer equipment is their portability. Gasoline is easily available in most places and is relatively inexpensive when compared to other fuels. As a result, these machines can be used anywhere gasoline is available.

Portable machines are either attached with wheels or mounted on trucks or trailers. If you are transporting the machine frequently across long distances, a trailer mounted system may be ideal.

Cleaning Power

These machines can provide very high pressure levels and temperature settings. The pressure level can reach as high as 8000 psi and temperature levels up to330°F, depending upon the model. Gas pressure washer equipment can be used for both heavy duty industrial degreasing and commercial cleaning purposes.

It is important to select the right machine to achieve the complete benefit of gas powered pressure washers.

How to Select Pressure Washer Equipment

A number of businesses now turn to pressure washer equipment for industrial degreasing applications. These machines are powerful enough to eliminate tough grease from machinery, floors, and other areas.

One has to consider many factors while selecting pressure washer equipment for heavy duty industrial degreasing jobs, such as power levels, temperature options, and special technologies to make sure the machine not only works efficiently, but also lasts longer.

Power

The power of pressure washer equipment is determined by its output pressure level and flow rate. Output pressure levels can vary up to 8000 psi, and the flow rate can vary up to 8 GPM (or gallons per minute), depending on the model. The higher the pressure level and flow rate the higher the output power of the machine.

Temperature

Pressure washer equipment can be classified into three categories based on the output temperature: cold water, hot water, and steam machines. Cold water output means the output is at room temperature, and hot water output means the output is at 210°F. The best machines for industrial degreasing are steam pressure washers, which provide output at 330°F. Temperature levels also influence power; as temperature increases, power increases.

For operators experiencing different types of applications, a tri-mode system from Daimer Industries® would be best. These machines offer the benefits of all three options by enabling operators to attain cold water, hot water, and steam temperatures, depending on the application.

Technology

A special technology that makes the cleaning process with these machines easier is AST® technology. Machines equipped with this technology can automatically switch off the motor and pump when there is no output through the scatter gun for over 30 seconds. This makes the cleaning process easier by reducing trips back to the machine during breaks, and prolongs the life of the machine by reducing wear.

This technology is a special feature of electric pressure washer equipment from Daimer®, a premier supplier of cleaning machines and products. For more information about the cleaning systems offered by Daimer®, visit www.daimer.com.

Pressure Washer Equipment — Advantages of Multi Gun Operations

pressure washer equipment
Pressure washer equipment with a multi-gun feature offers the ability to have multiple users clean at the same time. Daimer® retails industrial pressure washers that can be operated by up to three users simultaneously, when purchased with multi-gun operation. This advantage becomes clear if you think about productivity.

Simply stated, 2-3 people working at the same cleaning job can complete it 2-3 time faster. The multi-gun option has another advantage. The pressure washer function depends on the structure of the nozzle. The design of the nozzle decides the angle at which water strikes the surface. For different cleaning requirements, you need to use different nozzles. Single user pressure washer equipment does not allow the user to apply different nozzle functions simultaneously. This problem is solved when you invest in multi-gun pressure washer equipment where you can use 0°, 15º, 25º, 40º, or steam nozzles together.

Apart from multiple functions and users, the multi-gun pressure washer equipment also supports operations over large areas. Wide factory floors can be cleaned at different points simultaneously, speeding up the cleaning process.

Pressure Washer Equipment-Agricultural Applications


Pressure washer equipment is not only used in commercial and industrial settings, it is very handy for farmers and agricultural companies. Most farm equipment gathers soil, mud, and grease during the planting, threshing, winnowing, and gathering processes. Some equipment used for the basic processing of harvest also requires extensive and frequent cleaning to ensure proper functionality. Your choice of pressure washer equipment depends on the level of grime and the availability of electricity in the cleaning area.


Using Pressure Washer Equipment on Farms
A basic cold water machine is perfectly fine for most agricultural applications, where the high pressure levels (up to 5000 psi) compensate for lack of heat. Besides being lighter and cheaper, a cold water machine consumes less electricity or fuel. A good green chemical facilitates better cleaning. To avoid harm to bodies of water and land through runoff, use a plant based, eco-friendly detergent, such as the Eco-Green® line sold by Daimer®. Apply the solution a few minutes prior to cleaning. This allows for the softening of dirt and grease, which the spray of water will clear away. To further enhance the cleaning power, you may wish to consider a hot water or steam pressure washing system, as higher temperatures greatly increase cleaning proficiency.

In general, agricultural implements can withstand high pressure levels as they are made of solid metals. Be more careful with electronic or mechanical devices. If you are working outdoors, away from electricity sources, you should purchase gasoline or propane pressure washers.

Places like movie theaters, recreational facilities, stadiums, and parks are also places that can benefit from the use of pressure washing machines. Since these areas are often subject to tough deposits and stains, the strong cleaning power of these machines is well suited for difficult applications. Daimer®, a leading distributer of cleaning products, offers many types of pressure washer equipment for cleaning public areas.

For many, chewing gum removal is one of the toughest tasks when it comes to cleaning roads, sidewalks, and even benches. The line of KleenJet® GUM-EXTERMINATOR® steam cleaners by Daimer® use a combination of high steam temperatures, vacuum extraction, gum solution, and stainless steel brushes to rapidly remove chewing gum. However, for businesses that require the use of a pressure washer for other applications, Daimer's pressure washing systems can also be used to remove chewing gum. Working differently than steam celaners, pressure cleaners soften gum with high temperatures and blast the residues away with high pressure levels.

Graffiti removal is another tough job that can be accomplished through the use of a power pressure cleaner. When using pressure washing equipment to remove graffiti, it is important to ensure that the pressure levels will not damage the surface that needs to be cleaned. In many cases, adding an eco-friendly cleaning agent can increase the speed and effectiveness of the pressure washing machine. For this reason, Daimer® supplies Eco-Green® Graffiti Remover. This non-toxic, biodegradable solution contains lifters and emulsifiers to virtually raise graffiti right off the surfaces for quick and easy removal.

How Green Chemicals Boost the Performance of Pressure Washer Equipment

Green Chemicals
Even though pressure washer machines are some of the most powerful cleaning machines around, adding green chemicals can safely increase their effectiveness and efficiency.

Pressure washer equipment can provide an output pressure ranging from 500 psi to 8000 psi. The maximum output pressure varies for different models. The high output pressure of these machines blasts away various types of impurities, while high temperature levels can soften and dissolve residues. Green chemicals can be used with the pressure washer equipment to ensure that virtually residues are removed entirely.

The best green chemicals on the market fall within Daimer's Eco-Green® line. These environmentally safe substances are often more effective than chemical cleaning agents. Derived from plants and vegetables, they biodegrade quickly, do not harm the environment or the user, and do not leave behind any toxic traces.

With many specialized Eco-Green® formulas to choose from, Daimer® makes nearly every pressure washing task easier. For example, graffiti removal is made quick and easy with the use of a Super Max™ pressure washer and Eco-Green® Graffiti Removal. To remove stubborn rust stains from concrete, consider pairing Eco-Green® Concrete Cleaner with Rust Stain Remover with your pressure cleaner. Heavy-duty degreasing is another application that can benefit from this duo, combining a pressure cleaner with Eco-Green® Ultra-Power™ Degreaser.

A Comparative Look at Wheeled and Trailer-Mountable Pressure Washers

When purchasing pressure washer equipment for cleaning applications, one main aspect people look for is portability. This is especially true in the Trailer-Mountable Pressure Washers case of industrial cleaning jobs where vast areas are cleaned on a regular basis. There are two types of portable pressure washers available with wheeled configurations and trailer mountable models.

Wheel mounted machines from Daimer® feature components assembled into a compact design that can easily be mounted on a frame with wheels. This wheeled configuration enables you to push the pressure cleaner near the cleaning area.

Trailer-mountable versions of pressure washer equipment can be loaded onto skids or trucks, allowing the truck to transport the pressure washing machine to the area being cleaned. This is particularly beneficial in the case of heavy-duty pressure washers like the Super Max™ 12300. This 900 lb. unit, though available in a wheel-mounted configuration, can be difficult to move using wheels alone. However, since trailer-mounted models demand ample parking space for the truck adjacent to the area being cleaned, this pressure washer equipment is less versatile than ones with wheeled configurations.

Daimer®, the industry's leading provider of pressure washer equipment, offers nearly all of models in its extensive line of Super Max™ pressure washing machines in wheel-mounted or trailer-mounted configurations. To transform a machine like the Super Max™ 12300 from the wheeled configuration shown on www.daimer.com to a trailer mounted configuration, simply remove the wheels.
