Hot Pressure Washers and Steam Cleaners

Hot water pressure washers accomplish what the cold water varieties can for effectively removing dirt. They also provide a much more enhanced cleaning action needed for oil or grease combined with dirt. Cold water pressure washers have cleaning action created by water flow (GPM) and high pressure (PSI), which works well for dirt. However, when grease or oil is present along with dirt, hot water pressure washers and or steam cleaners add the ability to melt or dissolve the oil and grease with high temperature, along with the removal of dirt. Hot water pressure washers are also sometimes called heated pressure washers or hot power washers. They produce hot water up to 200°F or steam cleaners to higher temperatures. The hot water or steam is produced as it is pushed through a tubular coil by a high-pressure plunger pump and exits the machine by a small nozzle.

Spartan Manufacturing Corporation designs and manufactures high-quality commercial and industrial hot water pressure washers and industrial steam cleaner pressure washers in mobile and stationary varieties. The company is a proud market leader with a diversified product line to meet unique customer needs.

How Hot Water Pressure Washers Work

Hot water pressure washers accomplish what the cold water varieties can for dirt, but with a more comprehensive clean. Cold water pressure washers depend on water pressure and flow, measured in pounds per square inch (PSI) and gallons per minute (GPM), respectively, for cleaning surfaces. However, this is not very effective on grime, or grease and oil mixed with dirt. Hot water pressure washers—also called industrial steam cleaners, heated pressure washers, or hot power washers—use water that its internal heating system has warmed up to 200° F as it passes through a cylindrical coil, and a high-pressure plunger pump and valves that force the pressurized water through a thin nozzle. 

Hot water pressure washers are driven by either electric motors or engines (gasoline, diesel, or propane-fueled or occasionally hydraulic motors or air motors).  The drive system operates a high-pressure pump to pressurize the water and to push the water through a heating system, trigger gun, hose, and nozzle.  The water is heated by a fuel-fired burner using either natural gas, propane, butane, kerosene, diesel, jet fuel, or occasionally electricity.  For assistance in selecting the best hot pressure washer equipment for your application, including electric pressure washer and gas pressure washer options, contact our engineering personnel at customer service.

Hot Water Pressure Washer Applications 

Hot water is superior to cold when it comes to cleaning difficult stains, caked-on substances, and particularly oily or greasy residues and grime. The steam and the pressurized hot-water spray are capable of breaking the molecular bonds of grease and oil, thereby melting and dissolving those substances for a fast, high-performance clean. Typical applications include:

• General cleaning. Pressure washing is ideal for cleaning building and equipment surfaces, as well as internal components. While cold water pressure washers are successful at cleaning dirt, hot water and steam accomplish this and more, with grime-removal capabilities.
• Sanitation. Hot vapor and pressurized water are highly effective at killing bacteria and viruses like listeria. These systems are popular in food handling and processing operations as well as the pharmaceutical sector, helping to guarantee consumer safety. 
• Industrial maintenance. It is easier for technicians to repair clean, pressure-washed machinery and components.
• Metal preparation. Specialized hot water pressure washers can aid in phosphating, or treating metal surfaces with special chemicals so that paint or powder coatings will adhere well to bare metal.

Hot Pressure Washers From Spartan Manufacturing 

Spartan Manufacturing Corporation produces hot, high-pressure washers that can also serve as steam cleaners. Our steam cleaners can heat water to a temperature that generates a blend of vapor steam and hot water for optimized performance. Typically, steam improves both cleaning speed and efficiency, especially when dealing with larger surface areas or surfaces covered in thicker amounts of oil and grease. 

Our machines can draw energy from a variety of sources to heat water, and we offer an extensive product line to best serve our customers. Our series of steam cleaners and hot, high-pressure washers include:

• Tempest series: Eight models, 1000 PSI to 4000 PSI
• Fury series: Four models, 750 PSI to 2000 PSI for hot water and wet steam up to 200° F and 300° F, respectively
• Super Fury series: Six models, 2000 PSI to 4000 PSI
• Big Blast series: 16 models, 1000 PSI to 4000 PSI

We have also designed customized deionized water cleaning equipment for diverse applications in government, nuclear energy, and pharmaceutical industrial sectors. As we maintain a large inventory, our expert team can modify standard equipment and sub-assemblies, generally for a minimal price.
