Machinery and equipment used on construction sites, in building materials manufacturing facilities and in maintenance workshops may be exposed to oil, grease, dust, mud and various process residues. Contaminant build-up on the metal surfaces of mechanical equipment, machine housings, maintenance parts and around suitable moving components may require regular cleaning over time.
The objective of this application is to use a chemical appropriate to the nature of the contamination to dissolve oily and organic residues or loosen them sufficiently for removal from the surface. Industrial cleaners may be used for general process contamination, while degreasing systems can be applied in areas with heavy oil and grease build-up. For certain organic or difficult-to-dissolve residues, solvent-based products compatible with the substrate may also be used.
Chemical cleaning may be performed as a standalone process or, depending on the level of contamination, supported by wiping, brushing or suitable pressure-cleaning methods. Cleaning performance, however, is not the only criterion when selecting a chemical. Compatibility with paints, plastic components, seals, hoses, elastomers and other sensitive materials on the machinery must also be taken into consideration.
Cleaning operations should be integrated with planned maintenance activities. In particular, cleaning contaminated surfaces before equipment disassembly or mechanical inspection facilitates a more effective assessment of component condition. Machinery cleaning should therefore be regarded as one of the complementary technical stages of equipment maintenance in building and construction operations.
