Hot Water Pressure Washers
Our hot water pressure washers deliver high-pressure heated cleaning for industrial grease and grime removal. Available in portable and stationary configurations, these systems use diesel, kerosene, or gas for diesel engines, propane, or electric heating sources. With flow rates from 2 to 10 GPM and pressures up to 5000 PSI, these machines serve agriculture, oil fields, and manufacturing facilities requiring rigorous cleaning.
Cold Water Pressure Washers
Durable cold water pressure washers tackle mud, dirt, and soil in commercial environments. Gas or electric-powered models range from 2 to 25 GPM output with pressures up to 8500 PSI. Applications span construction site cleaning, fleet maintenance, and plant operations where heating is unnecessary but high-volume rinsing remains critical for productivity.
Steam Cleaners
Industrial steam cleaners use low-pressure, high-temperature steam (300F+) for delicate surface cleaning and disinfection. Oil-fired or gas-powered units operate at 250-400 PSI for 100-400 GPH output, ideal for engine compartment detailing, tank sterilization, and ice dam removal. Dry steam generators offer portability for precision sanitization tasks in food processing or aviation sectors.
Custom Equipment
We specialize in tailored cleaning solutions for unconventional applications. Our engineering team develops custom pressure washers, trailer-mounted systems, and water heating units to exact specifications. From military base requirements to specialized agricultural cleaning, our in-house fabrication accommodates unique fuel sources, frame sizes, and operational environments.
Parts Washers
Automatic aqueous parts washers combine hot water and biodegradable detergents for solvent-free component cleaning. Front-load, top-load, and rollout models handle parts from 300 to 2,000 lbs with turntable diameters up to 72 inches. Systems use programmable timers and high-pressure spray bars for consistent cleaning of machinery components in manufacturing and maintenance facilities.
