Heavy Duty Pressure Washer

Pressure washers are much in evidence these days, their cleaning power is appreciated by many people when washing their car or cleaning their patio. These smaller machines, although excellent for domestic projects, are not suitable where extended use and extra cleaning power is required in the commercial environment, so in these situations a heavy duty pressure washer is the answer.

What is a Heavy Duty Pressure Washer?

A pressure washer is a machine that, as water passes through it, uses a pump to put the water under pressure which is then expelled via a cleaning lance on to the surface being cleaned. That is at its simplest level, how a pressure washer works but a heavy duty pressure washer is more complex. For instance the way the washer is powered is important for commercial users. A domestic machine is normally mains powered using an electric lead, whereas a commercial or industrial pressure washer may be independently engine driven like an Edge Trojan 5 which is a Honda pressure washer using a GC160 petrol engine. This means the pressure washer can be used without the need to connect to an external power source. Because there are many types of industrial premises and equipment that require regular cleaning there are many different types of heavy duty pressure washer.

Heavy Duty Pressure Washer Applications

There are many applications that are immediately apparent for a heavy duty pressure washer such as farm machinery where tractors etc. get clogged with dirt and mud. Another agricultural area requiring extensive cleaning is the inside of buildings such as dairies where cleanliness is of the highest importance. What may be less commonly known is food factory cleaning where heavy duty pressure washers may be used in series off a ring main system where the water is fed from a central source, known as a centralised cleaning system.
Heavy duty pressure washers come in many forms so if you need a Honda pressure washer or a centralised cleaning system, or if you are not sure what type of pressure washer suits your requirements, contact B & G Cleaning  for the best advice and value.
