A Guide to Industrial Steam Cleaners

Industrial steam cleaners are the most powerful steam cleaning machines available. These machines are an essential part of many industries including the hospitality industry, food industry, and healthcare industry. These machines can be used to clean many hard and semi-hard surfaces such as concrete and tiled floors, vinyl surfaces, countertops, mattresses, seating areas, and many other surfaces.

These machines have come a long way since their introduction into the market. Now advanced models are being introduced with the latest technologies, like sanitization capabilities and more.

Sanitization

This one feature makes these machines a must-have in hotels, restaurants, and hospitals. Steam cleaning machines with anti-bacterial technologies can clean as well as sanitize virtually any hard surface.

The output temperature of the latest models of industrial steam cleaners is 360°F. With the addition of anti-bacterial technologies, hard dirt and stains are easily removed and up to 99 percent of bacteria and germs are eliminated.

Some of the latest models from Daimer®, a popular distributor of cleaning products, are equipped with ATIS® technology. Tests conducted by independent laboratories have established that this technology can kill more than 99 percent of microorganisms on most hard surfaces. Industrial steam cleaners with this technology are highly sought after in the cleaning departments of hotels and hospitals.

HEPA Filtration

Another important technology to ensure the health of customers, employees, patients, and others is HEPA filtration. The addition of a HEPA filter aids in the removal of dust particles from the air, thus improving the indoor air quality.

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.

How to Find a Good Steam Cleaning Machine
