Vapor steam cleaners are a technology that enables the use of water without an additive package as the sole primary cleaning technique. It offers advantages over traditional hand-wipe cleaning. The combination of hot steam and pressurized blast enables cleaning in tight spaces, complex geometries, blind holes and under closely spaced components. In heavy soiled surfaces, cleaning can be enhanced by application of surfactant solution directly to the part to be cleaned. Steam vapor technology is very low in energy consumption because only a small mass of water is being heated. The equipment is used in a waste management cabinet to minimize worker exposure to debris from the part being cleaned, as well as entrapment of the residue being removed.
