Winter maintenance strategy for high temperature pressure washer

2023-03-26 13:30:40

  High temperature and high-pressure water jet have become increasingly popular in today's resource-saving era, as various industries seek ways to reduce air and water pollution. Whether it is in air pollution, water source pollution, or environmental pollution, energy conservation and emission reduction are promoted. This has provided a broad sales market for high temperature and high-pressure cleaning machines, which can greatly reduce costs and environmental pollution for companies.

Winter maintenance strategy for high temperature pressure washer

  Usually, most companies inspect and test their equipment in the summer or spring when the weather is warm and temperature is high, which is conducive to inspections. However, some unique manufacturing industries, such as breweries and beverage factories, mostly conduct inspections in the winter. This is because sales decrease in the winter, and production is not as tight, leaving more time available for inspections. The maintenance of beer bottle molds in breweries during the winter construction period can be difficult, and the feasibility depends on the objective conditions of each industry.

  Sometimes, after using a high temperature and high-pressure cleaning machine, workers may forget to drain the water in pump head, which can create a significant safety hazard. If pump head freezes, it can be melted thoroughly by heating it with fire. However, the entire process should be controlled to ensure that temperature is gradually increased from shallow to deep, and high heat should be avoided, which can damage accessories such as the exhaust valve and skeleton seal. Alternatively, boiling water can be used, but this method requires constantly adding hot water until the ice is completely melted. Otherwise, starting pump head with ice can cause serious problems such as broken crankshafts, cracked pump bodies, and dry broken plungers.

  Therefore, after using high-temperature and high-pressure washer in winter, it is important to remember to drain the water inside pump head. It is also recommended to store the machine in a location with a high temperature, such as a heated room or a thermal exchange station, to prevent pump body's gear oil from becoming too viscous.
