Mobile Pressure Washers - Why High Temperatures Are Effective



High temperatures, combined with high or moderate pressure levels, make mobile pressure washers a powerful cleaning option. Heat is a powerful cleanser. By using hot water, you can wash away many types of dirt and impurities from hard surfaces, as heat melts dirt and breaks down the chemical bonds cementing dirt to various surfaces.

Hot water is particularly effective in washing away deep layers of grease, sugars, and other organic chemicals. Mobile pressure washers with temperatures as high as 330°F are used in gas stations, car washes, aircraft maintenance, boat cleaning, and various other instances for washing away grease and dirt.

Daimer’s mobile pressure washers offer high to very high temperatures for cleaning. The Super Max™ 6000, for example, attains maximum temperatures of 330°F. It has moderate pressure level (750 psi) and flow rate of 1.4 GPM. The Super Max™ 9000, on the other hand, achieves lower temperature (250°F) but compensates by offering higher pressure level of 1500 psi. Both these machines are ideal for car washes and for commercial cleaning applications.

High temperatures also enable operators to use machines with lower flow rates, where using large amounts of water is not feasible. Machines such as the Super Max™ 6120LM have flow rates of only 0.5 GPM, but with high pressure (1000 psi) and temperature of 300°F, they allow contractors to wash concrete, stone, tile, with minimal use of water.

Heated mobile pressure washers sold can use both hot water and cold water. This feature helps conserve fuel and electricity when hot water is not required for cleaning.
