Material Processing Plant Cleaning

Contamination in a material processing plant comes from more than the process. Production releases dust and debris, outdoor plants take the weather, people track material in, maintenance leaves its own mess behind, airborne particles settle, and spills and leaks happen.

Recoveron Industrial has the experience and the capacity to deal with all of it, by hand with brushes and rags, with cleaning solutions, with dry ice blasting, or with high-pressure water jets.

Where the Contamination Comes From

The process itself

The materials being processed release dust, debris and other contaminants into the air and onto equipment and surfaces, continuously.

Dust collection

Weather

Outdoor plants take wind-blown dust, dirt and rain, which turns into a film on everything that is not sheltered.

Pressure washing

Human activity

Employees and visitors track dirt in from outside, and equipment and surfaces get dirty simply from being used.

Maintenance

Repairs and routine maintenance leave grease, swarf and residue that the maintenance crew is rarely equipped to clear properly.

Equipment cleaning

Airborne particles

Pollutants and other airborne particles come into the facility and settle on equipment and surfaces, including the ones nobody can reach.

Spills and leaks

Accidents spread material where it does not belong, and what is not cleaned up properly gets walked and driven through the plant.

How We Deal With It

Method matched to the soil

Hand cleaning, chemical cleaning, dry ice or high-pressure water. The right answer changes between two surfaces in the same building.

Around your production

Scheduled downtime, weekends and shutdown windows, with containment so one area is cleaned while the rest keeps processing.

Including what is out of reach

Technicians certified with a lift, so the structure, ducting and high ledges are in the scope rather than in the exclusions.

How a Project Runs

The walk-through

We walk the plant with someone who knows it, and work out which of the sources above is actually driving the problem.

Scope and method

The quote names the areas, the method for each and what is excluded, so the comparison with another bid is a fair one.

Containment and lockout

Protection for equipment and product nearby, and lockout agreed with your team before anyone works on a machine.

Clean, inspect, hand back

The work, then a documented inspection, and a recommendation on how often this needs repeating.

What Our Customers Say

"The on-site work crews did a fantastic job with very little clean-up required afterward on our Team's part. I was very pleased with the work they did. The facility looks night and day different. Great work!"

Bob Kaysun Corporation Manitowoc, WI

"Our facility was recovering from an industrial fire. Recoveron worked as a key contributor in bringing the facility back to its prior state before the fire.
Recoveron tackled multiple areas with prep work and painting showing great flexibility in moving from job to job as restoration work progressed.
The crew and supervisor were excellent to work with and very responsive to changes as work progressed.
Highly recommend Recoveron! Great people and great work!"

David Resolute dba Fibrek, Menominee Pulp Mill Menominee, MI

"Recoveron was a great choice for the room we needed cleaned. It had diesel soot and oil caked on (walls, ceiling and floor) for over 15 years and their team has it spotless. One of the biggest comments we have received from our employees is that "It doesn't even look like the same room". Their service was timely, very easy to schedule, and customer service was amazing. Would strongly recommend using Recoveron for future projects here and to anyone in need of any of their services."

Trent W.S. Darley Chippewa Falls, WI

"We had some heavy dust/oil build-up on our Fresh Air intakes and Exhaust fans at the 30-foot ceiling left. Recoveron came in, blocked off the area, brushed and vacuumed the areas, and cleaned the floors when done.

Their group cleaned and painted a control room exterior and even cleaned and painted a workstation and safety barrier. They look very good.

Part of the group worked on the back wall behind the machinery, brushing and vacuuming it, making it look 100% better.
Thank you very much."

Charles Great Northern Corporation Appleton, WI

"The Recoveron team was very responsive and quick to action. On multiple occasions, I've reached out to them for support and Andy has gotten back to me within hours. I look forward to working with them in the future."

Isabel Plenty Unlimited Inc San Francisco, California

"The team was very accommodating and did the work in a timely manner.
The plant looks a lot cleaner, and the crew went above and beyond."

Robbie Tenneco Goshen, IN

"The team did a great job of cleaning up dust accumulating for years. We will have them back in the future!"

Joe Republic Services Hazelwood, MO

"Recoveron has been with us through AIB certification to becoming SQF certified. They do pre-inspections to determine the scope of work and provide on-sight documentation. Once the work is completed, they furnish the needed information for inspections.

For the past six years, they have provided plant cleaning and coatings for our Wisconsin facility and now are working at our Minnesota location. Recoveron is a knowledgeable and reliable resource that I would recommend to any manufacturer!"

Brandon N.E.W. Plastics Corp. Minneapolis, MN

"The Recoveron Services Team did an outstanding job on our project. Quick response and superb attention to detail - we are very pleased with the results."

Luke Landscape Structures Inc Delano, MN

"They were very flexible to accommodate many schedule changes, and still accomplish according to the timelines. Everything done on time and according to the expectation."

FAQ

Material Processing Plant: common questions

What makes a material processing plant dirty?

The process releasing dust and debris onto equipment and surfaces, weather at outdoor plants, dirt tracked in by employees and visitors, maintenance and repair work, airborne particles settling, and spills and leaks.

How do you clean one?

By hand with brushes and rags, with cleaning solutions, with dry ice blasting or with high-pressure water jets, chosen by the surface and by what is sitting on it.

Can you clean outdoor areas of the plant?

Yes. Outdoor plants take wind-blown dust, dirt and rain, and pressure washing is usually the right answer for the film that leaves behind.

Does the plant have to stop?

Rarely in full. Work goes into scheduled downtime with containment, so processing continues in the rest of the facility.

Can you reach the structure and ducting?

Yes. Our technicians are certified to work from a lift, so the overhead structure, ducting and high ledges are part of the scope.
