Why Industrial Steam Cleaners Can’t Help With Heavy Degreasing


Industrial steam cleaners have specific uses for heavy duty job applications. Industrial steam-cleaning machines from Daimer® can tackle many of these cleaning jobs, as they come equipped with the ability to generate pressure levels up to 150 psi and temperatures of 386°F. This makes them ideal for extracting and eliminating a variety of industrial stains and other deposits from different surfaces. Some of these industrial steam cleaners also come with vacuum capabilities, doing away with the need for cleaning with rags and towels. However, for heavy duty degreasing, a steam pressure washer is needed.

People make this common mistake when it comes to choosing the right tools for degreasing tasks. Steam cleaners eliminate dirt by using high steam temperatures to melt away different deposits. However, heavy grease is a unique type of deposit. It clings to the surface, which is why even after cleaning with conventional cleaning methods; a thin film often still remains. In order to completely eliminate the grease deposit, pressure is needed to forcibly remove it. Industrial steam cleaners simply do not have the pressure levels or the sustained cleaning power required for heavy degreasing.

When it comes to degreasing tasks in an industrial area, steam pressure washers are the best bet. Consider using pressure washers from the Super Max™ series from Daimer®. Machines such as the Super Max™ 6000 feature pressure levels of 750 psi and steam temperatures of 330°F. Unlike industrial steam cleaners, these systems combine the cleaning power of steam with powerful pressure levels and water flow rates. The heat helps to soften the deposit while the pressure works to forcibly lift and wash the greasy film away. Visit www.daimer.com to learn more about industrial steam cleaners and their unique uses.
