How to Select High Pressure Washers for Commercial Applications

High pressure washers are widely used for cleaning buildings and commercial institutions. In order to clean these areas effectively, one needs a mobile cleaning machine. Many commercial institutions have large areas that cleaning workers need to clean. If the machine is not portable, it makes it difficult to carry out the cleaning process conveniently.

Types of Portable Machines
One can classify portable high pressure washers into two broad categories: machines attached with wheels and machines that can be mounted on trucks and trolleys. If the commercial institution has very large applications or a sizeable number of areas to clean, it is best to select a pressure washing machine that can reach each desired application. Daimer®, the industry's leading provider of high quality pressure washing equipment, offers an array of mobile systems that boast both wheeled and trailer mountable configurations for optimum versatility.

Power Source
One thing to consider when selecting mobile pressure washer is the source of power. For cleaning the inside portions of a building, a machine driven by an electric motor is suitable. An electric power source, such as a plug point, will be conveniently located near the application at hand. In addition, one does not have to cope with the exhaust of machines driven by combustion engines. On the other hand, it is hard to find sources of electricity in outdoor settings. Therefore, propane- or gasoline-powered high pressure washers are more suitable for outdoor cleaning.

High Pressure Washers — More Reasons to Consider Stationary Versions

If you are planning to purchase a high pressure washer, it is important to understand the benefits of choosing a stationary pressure cleaning machine. Although the lack of mobility may seem like a drawback, these machines offer a number of benefits, particularly for operators experiencing repeat applications within a given area.

Stationary versions of high pressure washers are excellent choices for cleaning tasks in different environments, such as shopping malls, auto detailing and automotive repair bays, schools, garages, warehouses, parking lots, and driveways. To ensure your pressure cleaner is made of top-grade components, and will continue functioning for years with little maintenance, consider purchasing from leading distributors such as Daimer®. To expand the reach of Daimer’s stationary systems, hoses up to 100 ft. in length are available.

One example of a stationary pressure cleaner from Daimer® is the Super Max™ 15900. The main features that make these high pressure washers extremely effective, reliable, and user-friendly are pressure levels of 3000 psi and steam temperatures of 330ºF. Versatility is yet another notable feature of this pressure cleaner best expressed by its tri-mode capability of independently functioning as steam power cleaner, hot water power washer, or cold water pressure cleaner. The multiple-function capability of these high pressure washers, an additional option, allows the user to tackle a host of cleaning tasks in commercial and industrial areas.

When Stationary Pressure Washers are a Good Choice

Although the benefits of using high pressure washers have been popular for quite some time now, not many people are aware about the advantages of using stationary pressure cleaning equipment. Stationary pressure cleaning machines that run on electricity are perfect for managing a range of cleaning tasks in different environments that experience repeat applications in a given area, like restaurants, parks, zoos, garages, shopping malls, and schools. To ensure your machine is durable and will last rugged use for years to come, take a look at the extensive range of pressure washing machines available from Daimer®.

Examples of tri-mode high pressure washers from Daimer® include the Super Max™ 15500 and the Super Max™ 15200. With high temperatures levels of 330ºF, moderate pressure levels, and high flow rates, these pressure cleaning machines are among the best available. Another notable feature of these high pressure washers is that they are tri-mode versions, capable of functioning individually as steam-based, hot water-based, or cold water based pressure cleaning equipment. This tri-mode feature enables you to purchase only one machine for a variety of different cleaning jobs in both industrial and commercial areas.

Tri-mode machines are ideal for users needing to clean a variety of surfaces. Using the cold temperature option, users can easily clean delicate surface or handle lighter applications. For surfaces that can handle heat or that are heavily soiled, the hot water temperature option allows these machines to clean tough stains. For the most difficult stains and grease, high pressure washers with steam should be used.

How Can High Pressure Washers Help Outdoors

High pressure washers are used for a number of cleaning jobs both indoors and outdoors and in industrial and commercial areas. Whether cleaning large agricultural equipment, washing a concrete walkway, or cleaning a boat, a portable pressure washing machine is essential to complete an effective job in a relatively short amount of time. Daimer® understands the need for not just portable units, but for a variety of portable machines that will suit different user needs.

In most indoor areas, it is not possible to use gas or diesel powered machines, as they can generate harmful exhaust. If there is access to an electrical supply nearby, you can opt for electric-powered high pressure washers with wheels. Daimer's wheeled configurations can also be mounted onto trailers and trucks, making it easier to cover large areas. If an electrical supply is not available, gas-powered machines are ideal. These machines can offer you greater mobility since they don’t rely on electrical supply. However, due to their exhaust production, these systems should be used outdoors or in areas with sufficient ventilation. Long hoses may also be used, enabling operators to work indoors while the machine remains outside.

Some people prefer to use propane instead of gas. Since propane burns cleaner than gas, it emits less exhaust. This makes it an ideal fuel to use for large indoor applications that have adequate ventilation. To meet the needs of all its customers, Daimer® offers an extensive range of propane, gas, and electric powered high pressure washers with varying pressure levels. With so many portable options for pressure washers, it is easy to find one suited to your cleaning applications.

High Pressure Washers - Many Applications

Daimer®'s high pressure washers are used in industries as diverse as manufacturing, shipping, car wash, and maintenance of public utilities. They are also used in offices, hotels, restaurants, malls, and other commercial facilities for keeping the premises clean and spotless.

The Super Max™ 7000, with pressure levels of 1000 psi and flow rate of 2.5 GPM, is suitable for many commercial locations, such as restaurant kitchens and restrooms. This electric powered device is also one of the best high pressure washers for car detailing, as it boasts high steam temperatures for effective cleaning with moderate pressure levels that will not harm delicate vehicle surfaces.

The Super Max™ 12200 SP is a mobile unit that uses wet steam as hot as 330°F for removing accumulated grease. Grease, particularly in industrial and commercial settings, can be extremely hard to remove manually. Hosing down the surface with cold water does not work, as it congeals the grease further. Hot water is more effective, but it increases the drying time of the surface. Super-heated steam; the kind generated by many Daimer® high pressure washers, dries quickly and is far more effective in breaking down and removing congealed grease.

High pressure washers equipped with low flow technology can deliver powerful jets of water and yet have a flow rate as little as 0.5 GPM. In places where water shortage is a concern, these pressure washers can deliver thorough cleaning without using excessive water. The Super Max 6120LM, for example, has a pressure level of 1000 psi and utilizes steam as hot as 300°F to provide cleaning without using too much water.

Benefits of Tri-mode High Pressure Washers

When people think about high pressure washers, they focus mainly on the output pressure of these machines. These pressure levels are always rising, thanks to rapid developments in technology. Still, pressure is not the only specification a customer has to focus on. Output temperature level is an important aspect as well.

At present, a number of high pressure washers are available that allow the users to vary the output temperature. Broadly speaking, pressure washers provide three modes of output in terms of temperature variation.

The first is cold water output, which is the injection of unheated water. The second is hot water output, where water is heated to a temperature up to 210°F. The third is steam output, where water heats up to a temperature of 330°F.

Different temperature options of high pressure washers have different applications. Systems with steam output are more efficient and more powerful, but these are only usable on surfaces that can withstand such high temperatures. On the other hand, high pressure washers with cold water output can be applied to almost all surfaces, but do not offer the additional cleaning power afforded by heat.

Customers often find it hard to select a particular temperature option when purchasing high pressure washers. This problem is solved by opting for a tri-mode pressure washer. At present, Daimer®, a premier distributor of cleaning machines and chemicals in the world, offers a number of tri-mode machines in its Super Max™ series. A single tri-mode machine can provide all three outputs: cold water, hot water, and steam.

High Pressure Washers Help with Indoor Cleaning

It is true that when it comes to high pressure washers, many people prefer portable models. These allow you to cover large areas of ground and can help in cleaning machinery outdoors. However, there are a number of instances where pressure washing machines are needed indoors. The truth is that most portable cleaning units create a lot of exhaust, which makes them unsuitable for indoor use without sufficient ventilation. As such, many indoor users employ electric powered high pressure washers.

Daimer® has a wide range of electrical pressure washing machines which are perfect for indoor use. These types of machines do not create any exhaust, making them a smart choice for cleaning schools, offices, hospitals, and hotels. They are also good for industrial areas that might not have much ventilation. They make relatively little noise while gas powered units tend to be quite loud.

Electrical high pressure washers often come equipped with other extra features. For instance, a number of models feature Daimer’s exclusive AST®, Automatic Shutoff Technology™. This makes them a truly versatile tool for many industries. AST® high pressure washers shut down the pump and motor during inactivity to reduce unnecessary wear. With this technology, users can utilize long hoses to work far from the machine without having to return and shut the machine down during each break. For indoor cleaning applications like cleaning restaurant kitchens or hospitals, these pressure washing machines are the ideal choice.

High Pressure Washers Keep Your Equipment Clean

High pressure washers are effective cleaning tools for your commercial or industrial equipment. If your business utilizes high power machinery or heavy-duty equipment, then you will need some effort to take care of them. Keeping your equipment in a good shape will keep your machinery working strong with limited breakdowns. It also serves to increase the operating life of the equipment.

High pressure washers are effective in the process of degreasing heavy equipment. Heavy duty machinery and even the floors of your industrial business will inevitably build up grease and grime over a period of time. Having a Super Max™ 15900 as a part of your cleaning arsenal will be a good business decision. It is a stationary cleaning machine that effectively degreases bulky equipment. It runs on electricity, and the water is heated by natural gas, kerosene, propane, or oil. The Super Max™ 15900, provided by Daimer®, has a flow of up to 5 GPM, and a pressure up to 3000 psi. High pressure washers might be a big investment for any business, but they are well worth it to keep your equipment running smoothly and will save you more time and money in the long run.

Degreasing floors is also important to keep the work area clean and safe. Heavy duty degreasing jobs for expensive equipment and floors require the right choice of tools. Most high pressure washers can now be purchased with a dual gun attachment option. This allows you and someone else to tackle the big jobs together.

High Pressure Washers with Powerful Advantages

High pressure washers become even more formidable when they come with extra cleaning abilities and features. Dealing with large commercial or industrial areas means dealing with different kinds of cleaning tasks. Some can be comparatively easy. But there are also areas that involve tougher cleaning machines, such as jobs involving degreasing. When covering an area that has all of these kinds of cleaning tasks, it can be time consuming and inconvenient to deal with a number of different high pressure washers. It makes far more sense to use one machine that can tackle all these jobs.

This is why Daimer® offers a number of tri-mode high pressure washers. These machines come equipped with cold water, hot water and steam cleaning abilities. For ordinary deposits and stains, operating in the cold water mode is often more than enough. If you are tackling a job that consists of hardened or old grease stains, then the hot water mode can easily dissolve away these kinds of deposits. For heavy degreasing tasks, the steam mode is ideal for rooting out tough residues. These high pressure washers can make the entire cleaning process easier and more convenient.

As an added measure of convenience, many of these machines come with different kinds of power methods. For instance, if you plan on working indoors then the electrically-powered Super Max™ 12820 is an ideal tri-mode pressure washer. For more rigorous outdoor cleaning jobs, the gas powered Super Max™ 12500 GE is ideal. Instead of having to invest time and money in a variety of different machines, tri-mode high pressure washers are more convenient and cost effective. 

How High Pressure Washers Can Help

High pressure washers can help with different cleaning jobs, but some tasks need different types of pressure washers. For instance, auto detailing would require a pressure washer with a low pressure level, since high pressure can damage the paint job. Some cleaning jobs may need the services of a cold water pressure washer to get the job done. But there are some cleaning situations that involve dirt and stains which are a little trickier to eliminate. In these cases, using high pressure washers that have a hot water or steam mode can be useful.

Daimer® offers high pressure washers in cold water, hot water, and wet steam operational modes. Hot water pressure washers are ideal for getting rid of deposits that are too stubborn for cold water pressure washers to deal with. These could be substances like grease, oil stains, or grime. Even dirt deposits that have hardened over time can be tackled easily with these pressure washers. These modes are beneficial since they offer the cleaning power of hot water but not at the extreme temperatures of the steam setting, which may not be ideal for all surfaces.

The Vapor-Flo® 8800 is a good example of a line of hot water, high pressure washers that are very durable. It can reach temperatures up to 190ºF and has a pressure level of 1800 psi, making it an extremely powerful cleaning machine. This model also has a relatively low flow rate, which means you do not have to worry about excessive water consumption, particularly in areas where water drainage may be a problem.
