Another importance facet of steam pressure washers is their power method. Not all machines are suitable for every location. Machines powered by electricity are most commonly used for commercial cleaning. These machines clean yards, basements, kitchens, and bathrooms in commercial areas, schools, and hospitals. Electricity powered pressure washing equipment has different heating options. Propane is one of the more popular options because it is a clean fuel. Other options are butane, diesel, natural gas, or heating oil.
Gasoline and diesel powered machines are most suitable for outdoor use. These machines generate fumes, and therefore, buyers purchase them for applications, such as cleaning patios, walkways, roads, gas stations, parking lots, and similar areas. They can be used for indoor cleaning as long as there is a long hose with the machine. They have pressure levels up to 4000 PSI. They are ideal for use in areas lacking reliable electricity supply.
Some types of steam pressure washers are powered as well as heated by electricity. These machines are commonly used for cleaning equipment in food processing industry. They are invaluable to the cleaning of conveyor belts, vats, pans, racks, hooks, and other equipment in the dairy processing and meat processing industries. These machines have pressure levels up to 2000 PSI, suitable for indoor cleaning applications.
Choosing steam pressure washers with the right power method is very important in determining how effective the machine will be in different cleaning tasks.
