Pressure Washers for the Agriculture Sector


Portable Cold Water Pressure Washer

People in the agricultural business use Daimer®’s pressure washers for cleaning farmyards, sheds, farm equipment, and vehicles, such as tractors and trucks. Daimer® sells heated as well as non-heated commercial pressure washers for various cleaning needs.

For most agricultural applications, a non-heated machine is sufficient. Cold water, sprayed at high pressure, removes most dirt and debris from sheds, cattle yards, and storage areas. It removes mud, plant sap, and organic matter from farm implements and tools. Cold water pressure washers also clear away mud and dirt from tractor tires and parts. Daimer®’s electric machines emit no exhaust, and they are used in both outdoor and indoor areas. In remote outdoor areas, such as fields and grasslands, where electricity is unavailable, farmers can use a generator to power their electric machine or opt for gasoline or diesel-powered pressure washers. The Super Max™ 8720 is an electric machine with pressure levels as high as 2000 GPM, ideal for removing caked mud, bird droppings, bug spatter, cattle manure, plant remains, and other types of dirt from concrete, metal, granite, vinyl, and other hard surfaces. The Super Max™ 8900C-322 has the same pressure level, but it runs on gasoline.

For specific applications, such as removing heavy layers of grease or for removing odors from sheds, barns, and farm tools, use hot water pressure washers. Hot water pressure cleaners, such as Daimer®’s Super Max™ 12200, use pressure levels of 2000 psi and steam temperatures up to 330°F. This tri-mode machine is versatile, as it can be used as a cold water, hot water, and steam pressure washer.

Are Moderate Pressure and Low Flow Pressure Washers Effective?


Powerful Mobile Car Wash for Auto Detailing

Pressure washers are often associated with high pressure levels and powerful cleaning capabilities. Those unfamiliar with the power of pressure washing machines often believe the higher the power, the better the cleaning efficiency. However, when using pressure washers, operators must analyze the applications the machine will be used for in addition to choosing the right pressure levels, flow rates, and temperature options.

Many surfaces cannot withstand very high pressure levels. For example, pressure washing machines used for auto detailing must have a pressure level of 1500 psi or below. Higher pressure levels can cause dents, scratches, and paint chipping. Similarly, high flow rates do not always facilitate cleaning. In water scarce regions, using a machine with higher flow rates may not be the most suitable.

Daimer® offers pressure washers with all ranges of pressure levels, temperature options, and flow rates. In machines with low flow rates, high temperatures and pressure levels compensate for the reduced water use. The Super Max™ 6120SCW is one of Daimer®’s specialized machines for auto detailing. It features a safe pressure level of 1000 psi, steam temperature levels of 300°F capable of removing grease, and low flow rates of 0.5 GPM for limited water consumption.

For more demanding cleaning applications, it is recommended to use a pressure washer with steam capabilities. Such machines as the Super Max™ 7000 can reach steam temperatures up to 330°F for removing grease from machinery and floors. It has moderate flow rates of 2.5 GPM and pressure levels of 1000 psi.
