Steam cleaners for engines provide specialized degreasing power built for automotive maintenance and heavy equipment servicing applications worldwide today. These industrial-grade units remove stubborn grease, oil buildup, and grime from engine bays using high-temperature steam technology without harsh chemicals, protecting sensitive components while achieving thorough cleaning results for mechanics, fleet managers, and workshop professionals everywhere.
Engine bay maintenance requires specialized tools that balance cleaning power with component protection. Our commercial-grade steam units are purpose-built for automotive and heavy equipment degreasing, giving you controlled pressure and temperature settings needed for safe, thorough engine servicing. Beyond automotive applications, steam cleaning technology serves diverse commercial environments. Our commercial kitchen steam cleaners utilize similar high-temperature steam principles for food service sanitization, offering chemical-free cleaning solutions for commercial facilities requiring stringent hygiene standards.
Commercial engine steam units operate at pressures ranging from 70 to 1300 PSI, with steam temperatures reaching 275°F to 380°F. This combination effectively breaks down accumulated grease and oil without requiring chemical degreasers that can harm rubber seals, wiring harnesses, or sensitive engine components.
When you're facing years of built-up grime on fleet vehicles or heavy machinery, these units cut through the mess using nothing but superheated water vapor.
Modern engine maintenance demands flexibility. Our units feature adjustable pressure settings that let you:
Electric Steam Units work great in established workshop environments with reliable power access. These models offer consistent performance, quieter operation, and continuous fill capability for extended cleaning sessions. The Therma-Kleen Ultra 600E provides steady steam output that's perfect for indoor fleet maintenance facilities.
Propane-Powered Models give you maximum mobility for field servicing and outdoor maintenance. The Therma-Kleen Ultra 1300 Propane generates industry-leading pressure levels, making it excellent for heavy equipment cleaning and mobile mechanic operations where you need to move around freely.
Select models feature dry vapor capability, producing steam with minimal moisture content. This technology protects modern engines with extensive electronic systems, sensors, and computer modules that require careful cleaning approaches.
Think of it as steam cleaning that won't short-circuit your expensive diagnostic equipment or ECU modules. The dry vapor technology featured in these engine cleaning units represents a specialized approach to moisture-sensitive applications.

Our steam cleaning equipment handles diverse automotive and industrial maintenance challenges:
The combination of chemical-free cleaning, variable pressure control, and robust construction makes these steam units valuable tools for serious automotive maintenance operations. Complete automotive maintenance extends beyond engine compartments to interior surfaces. Our commercial upholstery steam cleaner collection provides specialized equipment for vehicle interior detailing, handling seats, carpets, and fabric surfaces with the same precision required for sensitive automotive components.
Lower pressures (70-250 PSI) handle delicate components safely, while higher pressures (up to 1300 PSI) tackle heavy grease and carbon buildup effectively.
Yes, dry vapor models produce minimal moisture, making them safe for cleaning around sensors, wiring, and computer modules in contemporary vehicles.
Electric models offer quiet indoor operation with continuous fill, while propane units provide maximum mobility for outdoor and field maintenance work.
No, high-temperature steam (275°F-380°F) breaks down grease and oil buildup naturally without requiring additional chemical cleaning agents or solvents.
Continuous fill models like the Therma-Kleen Ultra 600E handle high-volume cleaning sessions, while units with adjustable pressure accommodate various vehicle types.
