Application fields of high-pressure cleaners


1. Applications of high-pressure cleaners in common industries: Pharmaceutical manufacturing: Cleaning of pharmaceutical mixing equipment, production workshops, vehicles, production lines, and other areas, as well as pipeline dredging. Petrochemical industry: High-pressure water jets can remove oil stains and scale, cleaning drilling platforms and equipment, oil pipelines, oil refinery equipment, and the interior and exterior of tanks. Manufacturing industry: Cleaning of heavy oil-stained equipment and floors, castings, molds, etc., in production workshops. Food and beverage industry: Removing impurities from canning lines and cleaning various fermentation tanks, yeast pots, storage tanks, ovens, mixing tanks, factory floors, walls, and oil stains and scale. Tobacco industry: Cleaning of mixing equipment, assembly lines, and exhaust pipes. Hotel industry: Cleaning of exterior walls, entrance steps, glass curtain walls, boiler rooms, kitchens and equipment, public areas, and parking lots. Construction industry: Used for the renovation of the surface of earth and stone materials on building exterior walls, and cleaning concrete mixing stations, decorative surfaces with oil stains or stubborn stains, monuments, and cultural relics. Railway industry: Cleaning of locomotives, station platforms, track ditches, locomotive chassis and axles, and cleaning of sediment, oil stains, and rust. 2. Applications of high-pressure cleaners in special fields: Nuclear power plant cleaning: Cleaning of nuclear power plants is crucial for safe operation. Water jet cleaning is significantly superior to chemical and mechanical methods and is currently the ideal method. With the continuous advancement of domestic reactor decommissioning projects, better application of this technology and continuous improvement of decontamination quality will become a new challenge for high-pressure cleaner decontamination technology. Removal of solid rocket propellant: Due to the high impact force and friction sensitivity of propellants, their flammability and explosiveness make mechanical removal difficult. Manual methods are not only difficult and inefficient but also extremely dangerous. High-pressure cleaning can solve this problem effectively. Decontamination under nuclear, biological, and chemical conditions: High-pressure cleaners can also be used to decontaminate personnel, weapons, and equipment contaminated by nuclear, biological, and chemical agents. Ocean and desert cleaning: Traditional drag chain methods are only suitable for nearshore areas. Cavitation jet cleaning can be used in other sea areas. Applications of high-pressure cleaners in the navy: Cleaning of engine rooms, ships, decks, and oil tanker compartments. Applications of high-pressure cleaners in the air force: Cleaning of the exterior surfaces of aircraft and helicopters. Applications of high-pressure cleaners in the army: Cleaning of the exterior and interior of mechanical equipment, cleaning of railway oil tanks, automobile oil tankers, and various field refueling equipment, cleaning of armored personnel carriers, and exterior cleaning of tanks and other large weapons. Service industry: Cleaning of car washes, parking lots, squares, engineering vehicles, mixing trucks, cement pump trucks, repair sites, and engines, as well as pipeline dredging. Environmental sanitation industry: Cleaning of roads and sewers. Aviation industry: Cleaning of aircraft bodies, engine components, landing gear, de-icing of aircraft surfaces, cleaning of fuel trucks, and cleaning of runways. Generally, imported equipment has more advanced technology, better durability, and higher efficiency than domestic equipment, but the price is much higher, and the maintenance cost is 2-3 times higher than that of domestic equipment. Domestic high-pressure cleaners usually have lower pressure, typically around 500 bar, and the design of high-pressure nozzles has significant defects and irrationalities. The variety is also limited, resulting in significant energy conversion losses. Therefore, domestic high-pressure cleaners can only perform general cleaning tasks, and it is usually difficult to achieve high-demand cleaning, such as dealing with stubborn dirt. Imported high-pressure cleaners typically have pressures exceeding 1000 bar and power around 150W. Cleaning with such high-power and high-pressure equipment is often very effective. To improve the cleaning efficiency of high-pressure cleaners in China, the design of high-pressure nozzles and piping systems must be improved. Only in this way can the cleaning efficiency of domestic high-pressure cleaning equipment be truly improved. Imported high-pressure cleaning equipment has high energy consumption. Therefore, reducing the energy consumption of this type of cleaning equipment is urgent and critical to improve its functionality.
