Power washers offer superb cleaning power through the emission of highly pressurized, often heated output. These are used for difficult industrial cleaning applications, such as heavy-duty degreasing and are among the most powerful kinds of cleaning equipment available at present. However, the output of these machines is powerful enough to cause damage to property and human beings by accidental exposure, so safety and selection of the right equipment for a given application is important. Inexperienced people, sometimes due to their lack of knowledge or plain carelessness, can cause such accidents.
By choosing the right machine, one can ensure their optimum use. The following are some tips to choose the right power washers for industrial cleaning.
Ensure Good PerformanceCleaning machines with the right specifications can ensure good performance. The right specifications for power washers include output pressure, temperature, and flow rate. Sophisticated machines can provide an output pressure of up to 8000 psi, depending on the model. However, not all cleaning applications need such high pressure levels.
As for temperature specifications, a pressure washing machine can provide three kinds of output: cold water (room temperature), hot water (210°F), and steam (up to 330°F). Power washers with steam output are the best for industrial cleaning. However, machines with the tri-mode feature ensure more flexibility. Such machines can provide all three kinds of output, cold water, hot water, and steam, to tackle a range of applications in commercial and industrial settings.
TechnologyNew technologies have been introduced into the cleaning industry. Some technology is mere fancy features without actual use to the operators. However, others are really handy. Automatic shut-down technology is an example of a useful feature for many operators. It allows the cleaning workers to switch off and switch on
power washer machines easily through a pressure gun.
If there is no output flow through the pressure gun for 30 seconds, the machine automatically switches off. One can bring it back on by pulling the trigger of the pressure gun. Commercial pressure washer machines with this technology are particularly useful for cleaning vast areas, for example, a large factory shop floor, where returning to the machine to turn it off for each break would be highly inefficient.
Type of MachineVarious kinds of
commercial pressure washer machines are available on the market, for example, electric pressure washers and gas pressure washers. Which kind of machines are ideal for factory cleaning? Conventional wisdom has it that gas pressure washers are ideal for external locations, and electric pressure washers are ideal for cleaning inside a building. Unlike gas machines, electrical power washer models do not make much noise and do not produce exhaust. The absence of noise or exhaust makes these machines ideal for interior cleaning.
Another factor that tilts the balance in favor of
electric pressure washers is the presence of electric outlets at convenient locations inside a factory. That does not mean that gas-powered machines are inferior. The cleaning efficiency and output power are the same for both kinds of machines. Propane-powered, diesel-powered, or gasoline-powered pressure washing machines can do an equally good job. However, these machines do produce noise and exhaust.
To sum it up, the best power washers for factory cleaning should have good cleaning efficiency, provide good performance, and be equipped with handy technologies.
