subject: Industrial Steam Cleaners [print this page] Industrial steam cleaners offer many more perks than commercial or even publicly sold steam cleaners. The average commercial steam cleaner offers pressures up to 100 pounds per square inch, temperatures of up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit, and steam production of about 1,400 watts. Publicly sold steam cleaners offer up to 80 pounds per square inch, temperatures that reach about 250 degrees Fahrenheit and steam production of about 1,000 watts. The industrial steam cleaners offer a total of about 120 pounds per square inch, temperatures topping out at around 360 degrees Fahrenheit, steam production of 1,600 watts and even suction with a water column lift. This gives industrial steam cleaners not only more steam creating power, but more powerful suction and higher temperatures for better cleansing and disinfecting.
Many industrial steam cleaners are constructed of steel and reach up to 8700 watts. Extraction chambers that reach up to 14 liters means that the tanks only have to be recovered one fourth of the times that a commercial or publicly sold cleaner has to be emptied. More power, more suction and more parts to replace should anything go wrong.
Replacement parts and detergents for industrial steam cleaners can be expensive to purchase, be it from the manufacturer or a branded technician. But the fact that they overpower, outwork and outlast all other grades of cleaners makes the industrial steam cleaners well worth the price of upkeep and purchase.
Industrial steam cleaners can be purchased at a discount when businesses buy in bulk. For companies such as those that offer carpet cleaning services, these industrial steam cleaners would be a good investment. The weight of the smaller industrial steam cleaners ranges from about 270 to 3015 pounds, therefore making their use by a professional carpet cleaning company almost dangerous. It is not only impractical to lug around 300 pounds of machinery, but also can be dangerous. Many carpet cleaning companies only send one technician out to homes for a job, and this would be dangerous for the worker to try to move around a home; especially one with multiple levels or stairs.
The heating time for cold water and hot water to steam in these industrial steam cleaners is much less than those that are sold to the public. Industrial cleaners have a wait time of only about 12 minutes for cold water and about 9 minutes for hot water to become steam. Publicly sold steam cleaners have a heating time of about 15 minutes for hot water and almost 20 minutes for cold water in many models. The industrial steam cleaners can be used for multiple purposes, as many publicly sold steam cleaners can only be used for floors and tile or possibly upholstery with the right connections. Industrial cleaners offer versatility of use due to the fact that most all of the hoses, clamps, extensions, filters, vacuums and even extraction chambers are able to be removed and replaced with others. If a consumer bought a steam cleaner that is capable of all uses an industrial steam cleaner possesses use for, they would spend more than enough to buy 3 regular steam cleaners.
