How Rust Removal Pressure Washers Protect Industrial Equipment From Corrosion Damage?

Rust on industrial equipment, farm machinery, ships and vehicles, and buildings is a huge problem, and businesses and government agencies spend millions of dollars annually for rust removal. Removal methods include chemicals and rust removal pressure washers. Chemicals might damage the equipment further, which is why many businesses and contractors prefer using rust removing pressure washers to contain equipment damage and remove rust.

Rusted equipment have lower life span and are less productive. Even a small patch of rusted ironwork can snowball into a disastrous situation, which is why contractors are often called in to deal with the problem as soon as it is detected. Rust removal pressure washers use wet sandblasting to eliminate small patches of rust.

The wet sandblasting technology uses sand combined with cold water, sprayed on the rusted part at high pressure. The friction generated removes rust, paint, and other impurities from the metal surface.

Advanced rust removal pressure washers have other applications as well. You can use these machines for cleaning industrial equipment, buildings, roads, vehicles, and similar surfaces. These machines feature high pressure levels of up to 5000 psi. The machines are available in two variants, heated and non heated. Heated pressure washers feature temperatures up to 330°F and are used for degreasing and cleaning tasks, in addition to removal of rust.

Electric pressure washers are used for rust removal applications in indoor areas. In particular, propane-heated electric machines are safe for use indoors, while machines heated with diesel or oil are required to be kept outdoors and a long hose helps in cleaning indoor areas. Gas or propane-powered machines form an alternative to electric pressure washers when electricity is unavailable.

Is There An Easy Way to Tackle Forklift Truck Cleaning?

A lack of proper forklift truck cleaning is among the main causes of the forklift breakdowns. Whether you use forklifts in shipyards, indoor storage companies, or outdoor construction sites, it is extremely important to thoroughly clean the machines once in a while to ensure proper operation.

No matter how well you maintain the vehicle, the batteries in forklift can cause corrosion due to leakage of minute amounts of acid. The corrosion forms deposits at the terminals and causes burns on the skin, if users happen to touch the surface. Corrosion can also interfere with the normal functioning of a forklift. Therefore, battery maintenance is an integral part of forklift truck cleaning.

It is also imperative to clean in the most efficient way possible. After all, industrial operators simply don’t have time for manual scrubbing. For this reason, more and more cleaning professionals now choose the best gas pressure washers for forklift truck cleaning.

If your forklifts are frequently used outdoors, it can quickly accumulate dirt and mud that can eventually affect normal functioning of the forklift. The pressurized water ejected by gas power cleaners helps blast off dried mud and dirt with absolutely no scrubbing. If you need the power of hot water or steam to clean off grease during forklift truck cleaning, it is best to go for tri-mode versions capable of ejecting cold water, hot water, or steam as per specific needs.

By neatly combining the advantages of steamers and power washing systems, these machines promise the best ever cleaning results in the shortest possible time period.

Scoring over traditional cleaning machines
Although power washing systems feature high pressure levels, they may not always be equipped with the cleaning power of hot steam. Steam cleaner machines feature high steam temperatures, though low pressure levels. This is the reason these machines are incapable of handling challenging applications, such as heavy duty de-greasing applications. For such demanding jobs, it is best to choose steam pressure washers that offer the perfect combination of high steam temperatures and high pressure levels.

The latest versions of steam pressure washers available from leading suppliers now come with tri-mode functions, so that you can switch between cold water, hot water, and steam, as per the specific cleaning jobs at hand. This versatility of steam pressure washers enables you to use a single unit to tackle a range of cleaning operations in commercial and industrial settings.

To ensure complete elimination of dirt deposits and stains from different surfaces, steam power washers feature high steam temperatures of up to 330ºF. Such high temperatures effectively dissolve the toughest stains and caked dirt from surfaces. The temperatures also help disinfect and deodorize surfaces. If you are looking for 2000 psi pressure washers, then the ones from brands, such as Daimer®, will be a good choice. These electric power washers with flow rates of 4 GPM are ideal for commercial and industrial applications.

Hot Water Pressure Washers for Higher Cleaning Power!

When looking for the best power washer for their cleaning needs, many people wonder if they should invest in hot water pressure washers. With cold water and steam units also available on the market today, it can be hard to know which will suit your cleaning needs best. There is a common belief that steam pressure washing machines offer the best cleaning power, because they are so powerful. It is certainly true that steam power washers have very strong cleaning abilities and are often used to tackle tough cleaning tasks such as removing heavy grease. But when your cleaning needs are not that high, hot water pressure washers can be a better option.

Hot and Cold
Many cleaning tasks can be handled quite easily using a cold water power washer. Relatively light dust and dirt removal can be tackled very quickly using a cold water unit. Apart from being cheaper than a steam pressure washer, these power washers are easier to maneuver. But some cleaning tasks do require a little extra cleaning power. Hardened stains, light grime and grease removal are difficult for cold water units to tackle. Hot water pressure washers are ideal for removing these kinds of sedimentation. The heated water goes a long way in softening hardened deposits and melting away the light grease.

Hot water pressure washers are also available in varying power options, from fuel-powered options to the best electric pressure washers. These cleaning machines are the ideal choice for tackling cleaning tasks in an eco-friendly manner.

Why Steam Pressure Washers Are the Best Bet for Industrial Degreasing

There will not be too many cleaning machines that are more powerful than steam pressure washers and there are not many cleaning jobs that require more cleaning power than what is required for heavy duty degreasing. So, it is natural that pressure washers that provide steam output are the preferred choice for the degreasing job.

However, it is not the only reason for the popularity of steam pressure washing machines when it comes to heavy duty degreasing. The following are some of the other reasons.

Quicker Cleaning
Top pressure washers can have an output pressure of 8000 psi. Any pressure washing machine with an output pressure in excess of 3000 psi and with heated output is good for industrial degreasing. The higher the output pressure level, the quicker will be the cleaning process.

Output temperature too, plays a part in speeding up the cleaning process. Normally, steam pressure washers have an output temperature of 330°F. The use of high output temperature has twin advantages. Water wastage can be minimized and there will be less mess to clean up afterwards.

Low Noise, Little Exhaust
There are electric power washer machines and gas pressure washers. Industrial degreasing is basically an indoor cleaning process. Electric machines are the best bet for indoor cleaning. Electric pressure washing machines do not produce any combustion exhaust. In addition, they make only very low noise. These two features make these machines an ideal choice for industrial degreasing.

Steam pressure washers fare well in industrial degreasing when compared with other cleaning machines. Steam cleaners do not have the high output pressure and carpet cleaners do not have the overall cleaning power to carry out industrial degreasing.

Wet Sandblasting - A Top Feature of Gas Pressure Washers

Pressure washing machines have always been known for their high cleaning power—whether electric or gas pressure washers. Some of the latest features have made these machines more flexible and even more powerful than before. Wet sandblasting is one such feature.

What Is Sandblasting?
Sandblasting is the technique of using fine grains of sand for cleaning rust, paint, and other dirt from hard surfaces, especially metal and glass. Normally, a machine such as a pressure washer propels the sand onto the metal or glass surfaces. A common application of the technique is to smoothen and flatten a metal surface before repainting.

The Process and Machines
Modern gas pressure washers are available with wet sandblasting technology. The difference between wet sandblasting and other methods like air sandblasting is that the former is much safer. The main problem with sandblasting is the likely health hazards it can inflict on the workers.

Inhalation of dust and silica particles is a prime danger associated with sandblasting. Consequently, the process is systematically controlled to limit the workers’ intake of dust. The whole cleaning process is a three- or four-step affair, which often requires a skillful cleaning worker.

Benefits of Wet Sandblasting
Wet sandblaster pressure washers greatly limit the dust of sand propelled into the environment from the hose of the machine, thereby limiting the quantity of dust inhaled by the operators. In these gas pressure washers, sand is propelled to the surface along with the water output of the machines.

Electric Pressure Washers: A Whole World of Advantages!

Each pressure washer model has its own set of advantages and electric pressure washers are no exception. Many people are under the misconception that fuel-powered models are a better investment as they do not rely on the availability of a power source. It’s true that fuel-powered pressure washing units are mobile and portable, but electric models can be mobile as well. In fact, with the right kind of extension hose, these units can be used for many outdoor cleaning jobs, like removing graffiti or cleaning agricultural equipment.

An Inside Job
Electric pressure washers are an ideal choice for indoor cleaning tasks. Fuel-powered units expel exhaust fumes, which means they are best used outdoors or in a place that has proper ventilation. Electric units are ideal for cleaning enclosed spaces which have little or no ventilation. As they leave no exhaust fumes, these units provide an efficient and relatively quiet cleaning experience as well. This means that they can be used in places like schools, nursing homes, hotels, and hospitals. Many fuel-powered models can be noisy, but electric steam pressure washers are comparatively quieter.

Mobile electric pressure washers can be used for a variety of cleaning tasks. Even stationary units can be used with extension cords, so that the user can access a greater area for cleaning. It’s important to remember that each pressure washing unit has its own benefits and certain models are better suited for certain tasks. Electric power washers may lack some of the mobility features that fuel-powered powered units have. But they can be used for indoor cleaning in areas that have little ventilation or that require a relatively silent cleaning machine.

Tips to Use Electric Pressure Washers in Factories

Electric pressure washers are best suited for cleaning indoor areas, for example, factory floors and walls. These machines produce less noise and exhaust than fuel powered pressure washers. Here are a few tips to use electric pressure washing machines for cleaning factories.

Output Pressure
This is one of the most important specifications of a pressure washer. The higher the pressure level, often the higher the cleaning efficiency. For factory cleaning, the pressure level of electric pressure washers can vary up to 8000 psi, or 3500 psi for heated machines.

An even more important aspect is flow rate, which is the measure of quantity of output of the machine per minute. Drainage is often not as great in certain outdoor areas, therefore lower flow rates are often desired. Daimer® offers many steam pressure washers for industrial cleaning with low flow rates.

Tri-mode Machines
Tri-mode electric pressure washers, such as the Super Max™ 15800, provide three types of output—cold water, hot water, and steam output. These machines allow the workers to clean surfaces of varying hardness easily and quickly.

Clean Carefully
Pressure washing machines are powerful machines. The high pressure output can damage soft surfaces. If the output is exposed to human body, it can cause serious injury. Similarly, soft surfaces and sensitive electrical equipment should be kept away from the output of electric pressure washers.

A Guide to Buy Electric Pressure Washers

Electric pressure washers are known for their low noise and sleek performance. All electric machines are often preferred for indoor cleaning, such as factory floors and equipment, as electrical outlets may be difficult to find outside. However, with the help of a generator or extension cords, there is no reason these machines can’t be used for outdoor cleaning.

If you can arrange for an electric point wherever you take these machines, then there are no better cleaning machines than electric pressure washers. Here are some tips to buy these machines.

All Electric Machines
Conventional electric pressure washing machines may still require some fossil fuels. Those machines use electricity only for generating output pressure and may still require the use of fuels for heating.

To get the complete advantage of electric pressure washers, it is better to buy machines that use electricity for generating both output pressure and temperature. Such machines as the Vapor Flo® 8910 do not produce any combustion exhaust at all. These machines do not produce excessive noise either, making them ideal for indoor use.

Long Hose Technology
Long hoses are useful for covering a large area, particularly when using electric pressure washers. Normally, pressure washing machines are kept near the electric plug point for convenience. Long hoses are used to take the output of the machine to the whole area.

The pressure level of ordinary machines drops when using long hoses. However, machines equipped with long hose technology from Daimer® ensure the pressure levels remain steady for a length of 300 feet.
