Pressure washers provide users with intense pressure levels and flow rates to handle even the most challenging commercial and industrial cleaning tasks. However, the various types of pressure washers offer a variety of power levels, each of which can meet the needs of a particular user.

Temperature options are one of the most important aspects in considering a pressure washing machine for your business. Pressure washers can be purchased in cold water, hot water, steam, and triple function configurations. Cold water machines are designed for lighter commercial applications where the additional power afforded by heat may not be necessary.

Hot water pressure washing equipment provides a higher degree of cleaning power, but still lacks the power afforded by steam. In fact, steam pressure washers are the most powerful on the market. They combine the extreme power of super-high temperature steam with high pressure levels and flow rates for the most effective cleaning capabilities available.

At up to 330°F, steam pressure washers dissolve substances while blasting them off surfaces, effectively speeding up the pressure washing process immensely. Additionally, the use of such high temperatures let users to sanitize and disinfect surfaces while cleaning, allowing operators to keep even the dirtiest industrial facilities clean and safe for employees and customers.

These industrial facilities, for which the pure power of steam is essential, can also benefit from the convenience of stationary pressure washers. Permanent pressure washers, like stationary units, may be installed in commercial and industrial settings that experience an abundance of pressure washing applications in a relatively close proximity.

One of the greatest benefits of stationary units is their power method. Powered by electric engines, stationary pressure washers can achieve high pressure levels, high temperatures, and high flow rates while producing no exhaust. Additionally, though an electric engine may restrict mobility for pressure washers designed for exterior applications, industrial facilities requiring the permanent addition of a stationary unit should have no problem locating the unit in close proximity to an electrical outlet.

To further enhance the capabilities afforded to industrial users, many pressure washers can be purchased with a variety of options and features to better suit the needs of any given application. By adding a wet sandblasting kit to a pressure washing machine, operators can remove layers of rust, paint, corrosion, and other heavy deposits more effectively than by using high pressure levels alone. The use of pressure washers with metal surface pre-treatment capabilities will allow users to actually prevent rust and corrosion and prepare surfaces for the application of powder coating or paint primer and paint. Multiple-user functionality is yet another option, available on many pressure washers, that extends the pressure washing capabilities by allowing for use by more than one user at a time.

In light of the various options available, one thing is for sure - pressure washers are the right choice for handling the most heavy-duty commercial and industrial cleaning applications.
