Industrial Cleaning
Factories, warehouses, Food and drink processing and packaging Plants and other types of industrial facilities.
When cleaning factories, warehouses, food plants and other types of industrial facilities, there are challenges. Not least the safety aspects of working in an environment that may contain hazardous chemicals, metal shavings or combustible debris, but also the fact that machinery in situ is often sensitive to dust and dirt.
Effective dust control
It is important that informed decisions are made upon the choice of dust extraction and control. Whilst the risks vary depending on what material is being removed there are solutions for all applications, dry or wet. Airborne particles can be prevented entirely, making the operation safe for the operator whilst safeguarding sensitive equipment.
For light applications on dust or ‘swarf’, a single motor vacuum with a small bin capacity should be suitable for the task. For mid to large operations, models with 2 or 3 motors that are individually powered, allow the operator to select the level of power required.
For situations where dust is critical or where toxic and hazardous substances are present, there are vacuums that feature a Longopac® Safe Bagging System such as the PPC 202DSLP. Here, instead of a bin, dust and solid material is collected into a continuous anti-static feeding bag which is twisted and sealed by the operator into bags for disposal. This gives the operator confidence that airborne particles are safely contained.
When there is a need to vacuum both liquids/slurry and dry materials, there are dual purpose models available. The M450 dry/wet vacuum for example, allows the operator to switch between dry and wet operations with no compromise to suction levels and without the need to change the filter.
GoGreen Cleaning
The Preparation Group’s Storm Diamond Pads, used with the Burnisher 430, STG450 or other conventional Rotary or Scrubber Dryer, produce an eco-friendly GoGreen deep clean and maintain hard floors. Offering an alternative to traditional mopping with chemicals, the pads are designed to be used with just water and they are washable and re-usable providing an eco-friendly, cost-effective, sustainable choice. The pads clean and polish floors at the same time, avoiding the potential build-up of chemicals and the need to recoat surfaces with environmentally unsound waxes or polishes.
Storm Diamond Pads are double-sided and if washed and stored correctly, they have up to a 60,000m2 life expectancy.
