Rugged Hot Water Pressure Washers and Steam Cleaners for Mining Operations
Loaders, drills, excavators, crawlers, dump trucks, graders, draglines, and conveyors take a lot of abuse with continual use and get extremely dusty, muddy, grimy, and greasy on the mine site. They require periodic cleaning to keep them in top working order and most importantly safe.
Cleaning equipment at mine sites has some unique challenges. The equipment is usually very large with many moving parts and requires grease and hydraulic fluid to work properly. Most mine sites are located in remote locations with challenging terrain, and some are located at high altitudes above 10,000 feet. Some mines require cleaning equipment that has an explosion proof rating for hazardous location.
Mining operations require industrial hot water pressure washers and steam cleaners that are constructed of heavy duty components that make the units durable and reliable in severe and demanding conditions. Hot water pressure washers need to provide the best water temperature, flow, and pressure rating for the task. Industrial steam cleaners need to provide 320°F steam to easily remove service fluids and grease, such as Moly grease, from equipment.
Sioux manufactures a full line of pressure washers, steam cleaners, and combination units that are engineered to solve some of the most challenging cleaning problems encountered in mining operations.

Elution Heating for Heap Leaching in Precious Metals Mining
The solution used in heap leaching for mining applications can be heated to the desired temperature with an industrial process heater. An instant, continuous supply of hot eluate is needed for efficient stripping of the gold or precious metals from the base ore.
Sioux Elution (Solution) Heaters are manufactured with heavy duty components, 100% stainless steel heat exchanger and non-ferrous wetted parts, and are simple to operate to get your eluate heated and available within minutes of startup. These units are in operation in mines around the world, with some in use for decades due to their rugged and reliable construction.
FAQs
Industrial hot water pressure washers remove mud, grease, hydraulic fluids, and heavy contaminants from mining equipment to improve reliability, safety, and maintenance efficiency.
Industrial steam cleaners generate high-temperature steam that breaks down grease, oil, and heavy contaminants while minimizing water usage during mining equipment maintenance.
Mining pressure washers should offer heavy-duty construction, high operating temperatures, durable pumps, explosion-proof options where required, and reliable performance in remote environments.
Yes. Industrial cleaning equipment can be configured with explosion-proof components and other application-specific features for hazardous mining environments.
Routine equipment cleaning removes abrasive contaminants that accelerate wear, improves maintenance inspections, and helps maximize equipment uptime in demanding mining operations.
