Pros and Cons of Industrial Steam Cleaners

Pros and Cons of Industrial Steam Cleaners
Industrial steam cleaners are the most efficient steam cleaning machines around. These machines have the highest temperatures and pressure levels. In addition, these machines are equipped with high efficiency vacuums, suitable for many types of industrial and commercial cleaning applications. However, there are certain applications for which these machines are not ideal, like industrial degreasing.

Pros
Industrial steam cleaners work by ejecting dry, superheated steam onto the surfaces to be cleaned. The water content in the output is often less than 5 percent. The temperature of the output can be as high as 360°F. Such high temperatures can melt most stains, dirt, and other impurities. Several models offered by Daimer® also have anti-bacterial technologies to eliminate up to 99.9% of commonly found bacteria and fungi.

The latest models of industrial steam cleaners are equipped with vacuums for extracting the dirt residues created by the high temperature output. It makes the cleaning process easier and faster.

Cons
One of the main drawbacks of industrial steam cleaners is their inability for use on industrial degreasing applications. These machines have a modest output pressure, which does not exceed 150 psi. Such low pressure levels are not sufficient for degreasing, which requires high pressure levels and high steam temperatures or the addition of a green degreaser, like Eco-Green® Ultra-Power™ Degreaser.
