A Guide to Using Pressure Washers for Food Service Operators

Pressure washers and steam cleaner machines are the most widely used cleaning machines in the food service sector. Both these machines offer exceptional cleaning power, in different ways though. A pressure washer relies on the high output pressure, while steam cleaner machines use high temperature output for removing dirt and stains from kitchen, utensils, kitchen equipment, and storage items.

This article deals mainly with the use of commercial pressure washers in the food service sector. It also briefly outlines the benefits of using high quality vapor steam cleaners.

Tips to Use

A pressure washing machine works by pumping high pressure output onto hard surfaces. The output pressure ranges up to 8000 psi, depending on the model. Such high pressure levels are required for heavy duty industrial degreasing. For cleaning equipment and buildings used in food service sector, the output pressure of these hard floor cleaners need not be that high.

Cleaning professionals in this industry recommend using pressure washers with an output pressure level of 1000 psi to 1500 psi. This will ensure that the delicate surfaces in kitchens and buildings will not be badly affected. The pressure level is strong enough to blast away the dirt and dust commonly found in kitchens and kitchen equipment.

Role of High Temperature

When it comes to cleaning kitchens, sanitization is as important as keeping the place and the equipment visibly clean. Successful food service companies know that customers realize the level of hygiene in the manufacturing room from the food item. Success and failure of a food service company often depends on the perceived hygiene levels.

There are no short cuts to maintain a high level of hygiene. Employing good quality cleaning machines and dedicated cleaning workers are the proven way of ensuring proper sanitization of kitchens and containers.

A pressure washer could do only up to a certain level when it comes to sanitization. The high-pressure output can remove dirt and stains that can be removed. When operating high-pressure wet steam hard floor cleaners, operators can attain a higher degree of power. But, what about the microorganisms that can cause damage to the food items? Or what about the dirt that sticks to the surface strongly?

The answer is simple. One requires a cleaning machine that offers a reasonably high output temperature too. Thankfully, modern pressure washing machines offer a relatively high output temperature as well. Hot water power washers provide an output temperature of 210 degrees Fahrenheit. Steam pressure washing machines go even further and offer an output temperature of 330°F

Use Steam Cleaning Machines

Talking about high temperature output, it is impossible to ignore the role of vapor steam cleaners in the food service sector. These machines provide an output temperature as high as 382°F.

Apart from the high temperature output, some sophisticated vapor steam cleaner machines offer ATIS® technology. This technology is designed to eliminate common disease-causing microorganisms. Daimer®, the company that launched the technology, claims the machines equipped with the technology, remove 99% of commonly occurring disease-causers. Tests by external labs confirm the claims.

Daimer® offers a number of models of vapor steam cleaner machines and power washer systems . Many experienced cleaning workers in the food service sector endorse these machines too.
