Considering the sanitation requirements within the food industry, you need to be very careful about the kind of pressure washer you select for dairy processing equipment cleaning. While some pressure washers may have effective temperatures and pressures levels for this type of task, they are rendered unsuitable because they generate fumes. Machines that generate fumes are unsuitable for use in indoor areas and this is particularly the case in the dairy processing industry. Fumes can affect the quality of dairy products, as a result of which there are guidelines requiring the use of machines that do not generate fumes.
One of the ways to get around this problem is to invest in all-electric pressure wash systems. These machines generate no fumes, owing to the fact that they are heated as well as powered by electricity. Electricity is a clean fuel, as we know, which is why machines powered and heated by electricity are the right choice for indoor cleaning operations. On the other hand, machines that are powered by electricity and heated by propane can also be used, as propane is a clean fuel.
Some of these all-electric machines reach pressure levels higher than 2000 psi and they have high temperatures of up to 205°F. A combination of high pressure and high temperature is instrumental in dairy processing equipment cleaning. In addition to removing food and dairy residues, these machines also clear away other types of grime from farm machinery.
An industrial pressure washing equipment also has another advantage. Such machines feature high-quality parts, including heavy-duty motors, stainless steel heating coil, corrosion resistant trigger wand, stainless steel pressure nozzle, and a chip and corrosion resistant housing.
