Advanced Concrete Cleaning


Pressure washers are the ideal cleaning tools to be used when faced with the rugged job of cleaning a concrete surface. This could be anything, from a parking lot or structure to a sidewalk to a driveway. The truth is that these areas can pick up a variety of different deposits and stains such as grease patches, old chewing gum, rust, road salt, and even mold. Not only are these unsightly, they can affect the life of the concrete as well. Using pressure washers to clean them on a regular basis will not only improve their look, it will also make your concrete last longer.

Daimer® has a number of different pressure washers which are suited for concrete cleaning tasks. If you are cleaning interior concrete surfaces, like shop floors, it is best to opt for an electrical machine that will not generate exhaust. If you are working outdoors or need to cover a large area, gas-powered pressure washers are better choices. In these cases, it is best to opt for a machine that has a pressure rate of at least 2000 psi.

Before using pressure washing machines on a concrete surface, it is also important to prepare the area first. If there is any vegetation nearby, it’s better to cover them, since the spray can be very forceful and damaging. Remove all obstacles from your cleaning path and make sure there are no exposed wires or electrical outlets. M

Pressure Washers with Exceptional Sandblasting Capabilities

Pressure washers
Pressure washers are extremely useful when it comes to blasting off tough dirt deposits and stubborn stains from different surfaces like wood, glass, steel, concrete, and fiber. Simply by using the power of highly pressurized water, these stains and deposits are eliminated quickly and easily. Nowadays, it is hard to make a choice among the wide range of power cleaners available in the market.

The Super Max™ 12820 WS is one very popular pressure washer model from Daimer®. This electric power washer also features wet sandblasting capabilities. In addition, these versatile pressure washers can function independently as a steam power washer, cold water power washer, or hot water power washer.

The most prominent feature of these pressure washers is the wet sandblasting system. This power washer combines sand with highly pressurized water to remove rust, paint, corrosion, and other deposits from metallic surfaces. This method of sandblasting is very safe compared to those using compressed air for sandblasting. Operators should note that wet sandblasting is only effective for sandblasting small areas, due to its narrow spray pattern.

The life of pressure washers is considerably influenced by the quality of its construction and components. The Super Max™ 12820 WS scores well in this aspect too. This pressure cleaning machine has been solidly constructed from the highest quality stainless steel.

The super-heated steam generated by these power cleaners can reach up to 330ºF. Additionally, high pressure levels of about 1500 psi and a low flow rate of 3 GPM combine to make this power washer the perfect choice for a wide range of industrial cleaning and wet sandblasting applications.
