Keeping Gas Stations Clean With Power Washers


Stationary Power Washers

Gas stations require regular maintenance and cleaning; accumulation of oil, grime, and hydrocarbons is potentially dangerous. Power washers are a good investment for gas stations because they require constant cleaning on a regular basis. Many gas stations may hire outside help for their cleaning. If you provide gas station maintenance services, buy pressure washer machines with the right pressure level, temperature, and power method.

Daimer® offers two types of power washers for cleaning gas stations, electric pressure washers and fuel pressure washers. Electric machines emit no exhaust and are much less noisy than fuel powered machines. If you use pressure washers to clean only the outdoor areas of a gas station, a non-electric pressure washer will work just as well. Non-electric pressure washers are usually required in the areas lacking electricity. The fuel-powered pressure washers offered by Daimer® include gasoline, propane, and diesel pressure washers among others.

If you do not need to transport your machine to other places frequently, a stationary power wash machine is good enough. Many stationary power washers offered by Daimer® have multi-user capabilities, doubling or tripling the productivity and reducing the time spent on cleaning. Industrial pressure washers such as Super Max™ 15900 have pressure level as high as 3000 psi and feature optional two-gun operation.

If you are a contractor, it is better to purchase mobile power washers. They can be easily moved around inside the gas station, and they can be mounted on a trailer and carried to other places.

Helpful Hints on Using Propane Power Washers


Propane Trailer Pressure Washer

The most common energy sources for power washers are diesel, gasoline, propane, or electricity. There is no difference in terms of performance for a particular type of machine. However, each type has its own unique functional aspects. For example, machines powered by electricity are not as suitable for outdoor cleaning as the fuel powered machines. The reason is simple. It is hard to find electric outlets in outdoor locations.

The following information is directed toward propane pressure washers.

Choosing the Right Machine
Power washers come with a variety of different specifications and technologies. One such propane pressure washer is Daimer®’s Super Max™ 12500 PE. This propane powered machine features pressure levels of 3000 psi, flow rates of 5 GPM, and temperature levels up to 330°F. It can be both trailer mounted and wheel mounted. Optional features include a phosphatizing system (12500 PE AF) and multi-gun features.

General Tips
When using power washers for cleaning walls and washing planes or ships, it is always better to start from the top and finish cleaning at the lowest point. Start the cleaning process at a topmost corner and move the output of the machine to the other side in horizontal direction.
