In a manufacturing plant, cleaning tends to get filed under housekeeping and maintenance gets filed under engineering. Treating them as separate budgets is a mistake, because the accumulation of dust, debris and grime on machinery and equipment has a direct effect on how well that equipment performs and how long it lasts.
Safe, hygienic and presentable
Manufacturing plant cleaning and painting are the tasks that keep a facility safe, hygienic and visually pleasing. Cleaning removes dirt, dust and debris from surfaces and equipment. Painting protects those surfaces and improves how they look. Both use methods and materials chosen for the specific surface, which is what keeps workers safe and stops the treatment shortening the life of what it was meant to preserve.
What regular maintenance prevents
Regular cleaning and painting maintenance helps prevent equipment failure and prolongs the life of the facility. The mechanism is not complicated:
- Dust in moving parts causes wear
- Dust on motors and drives causes heat
- Grime hides leaks, cracks and corrosion until they become failures
- Uncoated steel in a harsh environment corrodes, and corroded steel is a structural question
Organized as well as clean
Maintaining a clean and organized plant is about the efficiency of the production process as much as its safety. Clear floors and marked areas move people and vehicles around the building without incident, and a plant where everything has a place is a plant where a missing tool is noticed.
We can help maintain your plant by thoroughly cleaning the facility, the equipment and the machinery, on a schedule that fits your production.
