Benefits of Upgrading to a High-Pressure Industrial Pressure Washer
Whether used to make cleaning easier, enhance kerb appeal outside office parks, or promote a healthier environment, an industrial pressure washer is a handy tool and a vital piece of machinery for several industry applications. If you are considering upgrading your existing pressure washer to an industrial high-pressure washer, in this article, we at Bestline Manufacturing would like to point out the benefits of this based on specific application requirements.
When is an Industrial Pressure Washer Required?
A high-pressure water pump is a crucial element in any power-washing system and determines the amount of force and pressure behind the pressure washer hose. When used to clean surfaces at home, it is best to consider a low-pressure washer as it serves the purpose of replacing buckets, sponges, and soaps without exerting too much pressure. An industrial pressure washer comes into its own when used for heavy-duty vehicle cleaning bays; for removing dirt, grime, and stubborn stains off concrete surfaces and buildings; and for applications such as flushing out sewer and drain lines to remove obstructions.
To gain a better understanding of the pressure and flow rates that are required for an industrial pressure washer, when it comes to cleaning concrete surfaces, you need a power washer that can generate at least 3000 PSI. If that same amount of pressure is used to clean your vehicle at home, which only requires between 1000 and 1200 PSI, it would strip the paint off.
Is a High-Pressure Washer Better than a Low-Pressure Washer?
Both low- and high-pressure washers serve their purpose with the only difference between the two being the amount of force and flow rates produced by the selected pump and required for the job at hand. For a gentle clean, a low-pressure washer is the ideal choice, whereas a high-pressure washer is preferable for a more aggressive clean.
Advantages of an Industrial Pressure Washer
Whether an industrial pressure washer is needed by manufacturing plants or construction companies, they certainly offer industries several advantages over other cleaning methods.
