Machinery Cleaning

Machinery and component cleaning

Machinery introduces considerations that flat steelwork does not: seals, bearings, sensors, wiring, hydraulic components and residual oils all affect how work is planned.

Applications

Cleaning is typically carried out to prepare for inspection, maintenance, refurbishment or recoating, or to remove accumulated process contamination.

  • Machine frames and structures
  • Components and sub-assemblies
  • Tooling and dies
  • Fabrication equipment
  • Industrial assemblies
  • Maintenance and spare parts

Controls specific to machinery

Before work begins we assess oil and grease contamination, identify sensitive areas requiring masking or exclusion, confirm electrical isolation arrangements, review fire risk in the vicinity of the work, and specify extraction to capture the process plume.

  • Oil and contamination assessment
  • Identification of sensitive components
  • Electrical isolation and permits
  • Masking and exclusion zones
  • Fire risk assessment and controls
  • Local extraction and plume capture

Residual oils, greases and combustible contamination require assessment before work begins. Sensitive components are masked or excluded rather than assumed to be tolerant.
