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.

Power Washers Make Degreasing A Snap!

Portable Pressure Washer
Degreasing is one of the many tasks that power washers can tackle in a snap. There are various levels of degreasing, depending on the surroundings. For instance, commercial kitchens have relatively lighter degreasing tasks when compared to industrial areas that have to deal with heavy grease removal. Conventional cleaning methods for degreasing are often very time-consuming and they involve using harsh chemical cleaning agents. Apart from that, some of these methods may not even completely remove the grease deposits. Power washers are not only an effective way of removing grease; they are environmentally friendly as well.

Daimer® offers different power washers suited to different cleaning applications. For example, a user may be faced with a light degreasing job but they may also need a cold water pressure washer for other cleaning tasks. For this, such machines as Daimer®’s Super Max™ 7000 are ideal. In addition to pressure levels of 1000 psi, the Super Max™ 7000 is a tri-mode machine, meaning it can function as a cold water, hot water, and steam pressure washer. Non-heated output is ideal for light cleaning of dirt and grime. Tougher jobs, such as removing oil and grease stains in a commercial kitchen or even in a mechanic’s shop will require heat.

Steam power washers are often used to tackle the toughest degreasing tasks. These are often found in industrial areas that involve the removal of heavy grease deposits. There are steam power washers available that not only have high-pressure levels; they use the cleaning abilities of steam to remove heavy grease completely and effectively.

What makes Electric Power Washers Unique?

Mobile Cold Pressure Washer
Several versions of power washers that run on gas, propane, and diesel are currently available for a variety of different industries. However, many people seem to favor electric-powered models supplied by leading distributors like Daimer®. Electric versions are great for both indoor and outdoor cleaning applications since they do not emit fumes. Without fuel compartments, electric-powered pressure cleaners are comparatively lighter and more compact than fuel-powered versions.

Electric power washers offer several advantages. Unlike gas-powered pressure washers that tend to be noisy, power washers that run on electricity are much quieter and suitable for use in schools, hospitals, and offices.

Maintaining gas-based power washers generally involves tuning up the ignition, replacing the air filters, and changing the exhaust manifolds. Such tasks can be avoided with electric power washers, thereby minimizing maintenance costs.

Power washers such as the Super Max™ 8900C-322 use cold water for cleaning and are suited for light-weight cleaning tasks. Daimer® also offers more versatile electric power washers. The Super Max™ 6000 model, a tri-mode power cleaner, combines the functions of a cold water power cleaner, a hot water pressure cleaner, and a steam pressure washer in a single machine. This allows it to generate hot water at temperatures up to 210ºF and steam at temperatures of up to 330ºF.

How to Use Power Washers for Cleaning Ships and Boats

Power washers are used for cleaning a variety of vehicles, most commonly cars and trucks. However, these machines are also used for the upkeep of aircrafts, and for cleaning ships and boats. The following are some tips to select and use power washers for removing dirt and impurities from water vessels.

Know the Process

The process of cleaning boats and ships is different from the normal auto detailing process. On water vessels, you can find algae, barnacles, and other microorganisms attached to the outer surfaces. The cleaning machines should have the ability to remove these impurities with ease.

Right Machine

Power washers are ideal machines for cleaning the exteriors of boats and ships. These machines can provide a very high output pressure, which can be as high as 8000 psi, depending on the model. It is important to make sure your boat can withstand such high pressure levels. Very high pressure levels may damage the exterior of the boat by causing dents and paint chipping.

Pressure washers by top supplies, like Daimer Industries®, offer high steam temperatures up to 330°F, as well. Machines with such high temperatures boast pressure levels as high as 3500 psi. Pressure levels in excess of this are not necessary, as high temperatures greatly increase cleaning power. When the right machine is selected, pressure washers can easily eliminate a number of sediments found on boats and ships.

Use Tri-mode Machines

Daimer® offers a number of tri-mode power washer, such as the Super Max™ 12300 with pressure levels of 3000 psi, a flow rate of 5 GPM, and temperatures reaching up to 330°F. Steam output will be required in some cases for removing algae and barnacles from the body of boats and ships. Hot water and cold water temperatures are also featured, enabling operators to select the right temperature level for the boat cleaning application at hand.

Cleaning chemicals can greatly enhance the cleaning power of any machine. However, it is important to use green chemicals, such as Eco-Green® Multi-Purpose Hard Surface Cleaner, to ensure the water is not polluted and that toxic chemicals do not harm the boat. Daimer®, a popular distributor of cleaning products, provides tri-mode power washers and green chemicals for a large variety of cleaning applications.

How to Choose Power Washers - High Quality Components


When choosing power washers it is important to research all aspects of the machine. Aside from appropriate pressure levels, flow rates, and temperatures, customers should also look into the construction of the machine. Pressure washers constructed from low quality parts will not be able to withstand rugged cleaning applications and will most likely require frequent and expensive repairing.

Simply put, the quality of the hardware is one important factor that determines the longevity of power washers. Here are some tips to select machines with durable components.

Stainless Steel Parts

Metal parts constructed from high quality powder coated steel or durable stainless steel are desirable. For example, always look for stainless steel or schedule 80 heating coils. Exterior casings should be comprised of powder coated steel or stainless steel to prevent chipping and chemical corrosion. In addition, power washers will be able to withstand the high temperature and pressure levels associated with these machines. Low quality metals are more vulnerable to corrosion and exposure to high pressure output.

Hoses

Hoses are often constantly dragged along the floor while working, leaving them prone to damage. Good quality power washer will have hoses made of top grade rubber with two layers of wire reinforcement. These components should also have special protective layer that prevents the hoses from making marks and scratches on concrete or tiled surfaces.

Benefits of Power Washers in Service Stations


Power washers, or pressure washers, offer many advantages for cleaning service stations, including powerful cleaning capabilities, unique technologies, and eco-friendly cleaning. These factors make these machines ideal for cleaning gas and service stations.

Better and Faster Cleaning

Power washers function by pumping high pressure levels and often high temperature output on hard and semi hard surfaces to blast away stains, dirt, and other impurities. These machines can remove grease residue, oil spills, and any other types of dirt from service stations. They also clean faster and better than manual cleaning methods.

The output pressure level of power washers is unmatched. It can range up to 8000 psi, depending upon the model. For gas service stations, machines with an output pressure level of 3000 psi or less would suffice. Many of these machines are tri-mode machines, meaning they include cold water, hot water, and steam temperature options. This allows for a much wider variety of cleaning applications to be accomplished.

Flexibility

Many new models of power washers are technologically sophisticated and more advanced. For example, Daimer®, a technology-savvy supplier of cleaning products, offers tri-mode machines, which offer cold water, hot water, and steam temperature options. The stationary Super Max™ 15700 pressure washer from Daimer® is ideal for cleaning floors and machinery within a certain area.
