Industrial Equipment Degreasing

A Guide to Use Pressure Washers for Industrial Degreasing

Degreasing machines are indispensable tools for industrial cleaning and maintenance, and pressure washers have emerged as a highly effective solution for tackling stubborn grease, grime, and contaminants.

Powerful Pressure Washer Systems Make Industrial Equipment Degreasing Easy for Operators

With regular use, most industrial equipment gets dirty and attracts layers upon layers of grime, grease, and other deposits. All industrial equipment must be cleaned periodically for proper operation. Industrial equipment degreasing helps avoid maintenance issues and ensures flawless performance.

Degreasing Machines with The Right Features Can Help Achieve Great Results

The best cleaning results can be achieved by using specialized industry equipment degreasing machines. Most cleaning professionals are in a bind when choosing the right type of degreaser for industrial applications.

The challenges offered by the task of keeping industrial equipment clean and dirt-free are many. This necessitates choosing a cleaning system with the proper specifications to achieve the desired results.

Cleaning off tough deposits of grease with just brushes and cleaning chemicals is an outdated technique. This method demands lots of effort from users and hours of manual effort. Pressure washers are best for cleaning industrial equipment.

The high power of industrial pressure washer systems can blast off dirt and debris from the surface of industrial equipment. However, removing oily deposits and grease may not be possible merely with cold water pressure washers.

When cold water hits oily or greasy surfaces, deposits harden into thick clumps. Use a heated heavy-duty pressure cleaner and degreaser to remove grease easily.

Cleaning Stage Process

Degreasing machines operate through various cleaning stages, each tailored to remove different types of contaminants. The most common methods include:

• Spray washing:  Powerful jets of cleaning chemicals pummel away dirt and grease. It is ideal for heavy-duty cleaning in workshops and industrial settings.

• Ultrasonic cleaning:  High-frequency sound waves create microscopic bubbles that implode, dislodging even the most stubborn grime. Thus, it is perfect for delicate parts and intricate geometries.

• Vapor degreasing:  Parts are immersed in a boiling solvent, followed by vapor condensation, leaving them sparkling clean and dry. This method is particularly effective for removing heavy oils and greases.

For specialized applications like surface treatment, we can add a freshwater rinse and drying stage to our systems. This ensures the highest quality cleaning results.

Wet Steam Pressure Washers Can Remove Oil and Grease Quickly

Degreasing industrial equipment requires the use of cleaning machines with advanced cleaning capabilities. By choosing the right pressure washers for degreasing industrial equipment, you can ensure more efficient and faster cleaning than possible with ordinary pressure washers. 

Wet steam pressure washers  with high steam temperatures can help in cleaning and degreasing industrial equipment with a greater degree of efficiency.

The best pressure washers for industrial degreasing offer several advantages over other cleaning systems:

• They are capable of generating high-pressure levels of 1000 PSI.

• High steam temperatures ensure fast and better cleaning and degreasing of surfaces.

• A low water usage feature means a comparatively less messy cleaning process.

For industrial applications, vapor degreasing equipment reigns supreme. These machines, like vapor degreasers, use powerful solvents to remove heavy oils and greases from engine parts, tools, and other industrial components. They offer fast cleaning times and excellent results. Thus, they are ideal for high-volume operations.
