Nine Elements To Consider When Buying a Steam Cleaner

Ready to acquire a steam cleaner? This guide will present you 9 elements to consider before making your choice on a particular machine.

Steam Cleaners were invented in Italy, about 25 years ago, and are now available on the worldwide market. These equipments usually use high pressure saturated steam (with only 5 % water) and are used to clean and disinfect most surfaces.

Elements to consider:

1. The Boiler
The boiler is the most important part of a steam cleaner. You want to look at the capacity of the boiler. Dupray's steam cleaners have boilers that range from 1,5 L (Hill model) to 14 L (industrial models).

2. Automatic Refill
Good quality steam cleaners have 2 water compartments : a pressurized boiler and a tank to automatically refill the boiler without interrupting the machine. All of Dupray's Steam Cleaners work this way.

3. Replaceable Heating Elements
The best quality heating elements nowadays are produced by Tecnovap. They can give up to 28 W/cm2. These are the elements used in all steam cleaners offered by Dupray.

4. Integrated Vacuum
Some models are offered with integrated industrial grade vacuum, designed to collect residues.

5. Detergent Chamber
Offered only on a few commercial and industrial models a simple button allows the user to control the detergent flow.

6. Steam Temperature
The steam temperature output by the machine makes a BIG difference in the strength of the cleaning. Do never go for a machine that can't output at least 145 °C. Dupray's Steam Cleaners output temperature ranges from 155 °C to 180 °C.

7. Pressure
Another very important indicator of the quality of the machine is the pressure output. A minimum of 4 bars is necessary for a commercial machine to be effective. Again, Dupray Industries stands out by offering Steam Cleaners that have a pressure output ranging from 4 bars to 10 bars.

8. Quality of construction
Since the Steam Cleaners work at very high temperatures, the quality of the pieces and the assembly is of great importance. Dupray's stainless steel Steam Cleaners are made by hand, in Italy, with top quality materials.

9. Warranty
Distributor's warranty is very important. With Dupray Industries, you can rest assured. Dupray offers a lifetime warranty on the boilers and a 3 years warranty on the other parts of its Technovap Steam Cleaners. Nobody in the industry can beat this warranty.
