The Carpet Cleaning Truck Mount
If you spot one of our carpet cleaning trucks you might ask yourself, "What is inside those things?" Our trucks are specialized to provide various forms of highly effective carpet cleaning. While certain trucks are made differently, the parts are mostly the same. Let's break down what goes on behind the mechanics. Generall speaking, a truck mount carpet cleaner is made of up of:
— A heat exchange system that uses the engine's exhaust to heat the cleaning solution
— An engine that powers the entire machine
— A water pump to deliver the cleaning solution
— A vacuum blower to suck up dirty water and debris
— And a pressure pump to control the force of the cleaning spray
Each component is crucial to creating a unique system for an effective carpet cleaning. Here is each components and their functions:
HEAT EXCHANGE SYSTEM
With the heat exchange mechanics, the engine's exhaust does an important task of warming up the carpet cleaning chemicals. The dirt and debris stuck inside carpets are easily removed with this heated solution.
The start of this process includes the engine's exhaust gases being channeled through different components such as coils and heat exchangers. The cleaning agent flows through and takes in the heat from the gases. This is efficient in that the energy from the exhaust doesn't go to waste, proving to be environmentally conscious.
ENGINE
The engine is the heart of the truck mount by powering the vacuum blower, water pump, and pressure pump. How does it work? TruckMountForums tells it best:
Powering the Vacuum Blower: The engine supplies power to the vacuum blower, which is responsible for sucking up the dirty water and debris from the carpet. It ensures that the blower operates at optimal efficiency, providing strong suction to leave the carpet clean and dry.
Running the Water Pump: The engine also powers the water pump, controlling the flow and pressure of the cleaning solution. It ensures that the solution is delivered consistently and at the right pressure, allowing for deep penetration into the carpet fibers.
Operating the Pressure Pump: The pressure pump, which controls the force of the cleaning spray, is also driven by the engine. It can be adjusted to suit different types of carpets and levels of dirt, providing a customized cleaning experience.
Integration with Heat Exchange System: The engine's exhaust is used by the heat exchange system to heat the cleaning solution. This synergy between the engine and the heat exchange system enhances the overall efficiency of the machine.
It is crucial to understand the functions of a carpet cleaning truck mount engine. With this knowledge, our carpet cleaning technicians can provide optimal cleaning services.
WATER PUMP
The water pump delivers the cleaning agent to the carpet.
What makes a truck mount carpet cleaner stand out is the consistency in flow and pressure, allowing the cleaning solutions to penetrate the fibers of the carpet, leaving no dirt or debris behind.
The water pump is a finely tuned mechanism in the process of carpet cleaning. With its consistency and adjustable features, an evenly distributed and effective cleaning service is the proven outcome.
Working alongside the heat exchange, the water pump provides the heated cleaning solution at the perfect pressure, enhancing the effective nature of the machine.
Modern water pumps are designed for energy efficiency and durability. We make sure to keep safety features on to prevent issues such as overheating or over-pressurization.
VACUUM BLOWER
The vacuum blower is made to get rid of used/dirty water and debris from any carpet.
Once the cleaning agent has been dispersed and permeated into the carpet fibers, the highly-effective vacuum blower's suction ensures that no debris is left in the carpet.
The vacuum blower operates with a mixture of airflow and high-pressure, creating a vacuum that draws up dirt, grime, and excess moisture. Alongside the carpet being clean, the vacuum drastically reduces drying time, allowing re-use of space to return promptly.
This piece of machinery works with the water pump and heater exchange system to provide an all-inclusive cleaning experience. We make sure to regularly maintain each truck mount, ensuring longevity and efficiency.
PRESSURE PUMP
The pressure pump is crucial the the integrity of the carpet cleaning system. This piece of equipment is the regulator of cleaning solution and its application to the carpet. Unlike other components, it has the unique ability to be adjusted, including the force of spray. This gives technicians a tailored approach to each carpet.
It doesn't matter the surface or delicate or more rough around the edges, the pressure pump ensures the cleaning is effective and considerate of the structural integrity of the carpet. This gives the process allowance for heavy-debris cleaning or just a touch up.
The pressure pump makes the cleaning process seamless, complimenting other parts of the system such as the water pump and heater exchange. The pressure and temperature are kept in check while enhancing and protecting the carpet.
CONCLUSION
Since the inception of the truck mount carpet cleaning machine in the late 1960s, the design and functionality are at their core a wonder of engineering. Each component was thoughtfully made, proving to be one of the best cleaning solutions in contemporary janitorial services. Each of the five systems work flawlessly together to give you only the best carpet cleaning.
