Comparison of dry steam cleaners and conventional cleaning methods

Choosing the right cleaning method is critical to the efficiency, cost and environmental impact of industrial cleaning. In this article, we compare dry steam cleaners with traditional cleaning methods and explain why FRANK dry steam cleaners are a superior choice for many industrial applications.

Efficiency and cleaning performance

Dry steam cleaner

Dry steam cleaners use superheated steam that penetrates deep into surfaces and effectively removes dirt, grease and bacteria. The high steam pressure and temperature allow for thorough cleaning without the use of chemicals. This method is particularly effective at removing stubborn dirt and in areas that are difficult to reach.

Advantages:

  • High cleaning performance due to deep penetration of steam.
  • No residues of cleaning agents on the surfaces.
  • Kills up to 99.9% of bacteria and viruses.

Conventional cleaning methods

Traditional cleaning methods include the use of detergents, water and mechanical scrubbing. While these methods can be effective, they often require multiple steps and the use of chemical cleaners that leave residue and can be harmful to the environment.

Disadvantages:

  • Multiple work steps and longer cleaning time.
  • Chemical residues can contaminate surfaces.
  • Increased environmental pollution due to the use of chemicals.

Costs and operational efficiency

Dry steam cleaner

Although the initial cost of dry steam cleaners may be higher, they pay for themselves through lower operating costs and a longer service life of the equipment. The reduction in cleaning time and the saving in cleaning agents lead to long-term cost savings.

Advantages:

  • Reduced operating costs due to lower water and cleaning agent consumption.
  • Longer service life of the devices.
  • Faster cleaning processes lead to less production downtime.

Conventional cleaning methods

The ongoing costs of traditional cleaning methods can be high as they require the constant purchase of cleaning products and increased water consumption. The longer cleaning time can also lead to lost productivity.

Disadvantages:

  • High running costs due to consumables and water.
  • Longer cleaning times and production downtime.
  • Higher maintenance and repair costs for equipment

Environmental compatibility

Dry steam cleaner

Dry steam cleaners are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional cleaning methods as they do not require the use of chemicals and minimize water consumption. This helps reduce environmental impact and promotes sustainable cleaning practices.

Advantages:

  • No use of chemical cleaning agents.
  • Low water consumption.
  • Reduce environmental impact and promote sustainable practices.

Conventional cleaning methods

The use of chemical cleaning agents and high water consumption make traditional cleaning methods less environmentally friendly. Chemicals can enter the environment and have harmful effects on water resources and ecosystems.

Disadvantages:

  • Use of chemicals that pollute the environment.
  • High water consumption.
  • Potential contamination of water resources and soil.
