Parts cleaning FAQs
Is parts cleaning important?
The simple answer is, yes. If your business uses machines of any sort and you don’t keep those machines clean, it’s likely that inefficiency and breakdowns will quickly start to cost your business time and money. Regular parts cleaning is an essential part of maintenance, both because it removes dirt and contamination that might impact operation, and because it allows you to examine the machine for signs of wear and tear that might lead to breakdown if left unaddressed.
What are the risks of parts cleaning?
If you’re cleaning by hand with rags and brushes, parts cleaning can be a risky business, and certainly requires specialist PPE to be worn. Using solvents, which are often flammable, hazardous and release VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) into the air, is inherently dangerous for operators and the environment. And there’s also a risk of injury to those doing the cleaning, both from handling potentially heavy, awkward parts and from contaminants like metal swarf and grit.
How sustainable is parts cleaning?
The rags and other cleaning tools used when cleaning by hand are often not reusable, or quickly wear out and are not recyclable. And while used solvents can be recycled it requires special equipment and sufficient volume to be cost-effective. But, if you use well-insulated, automatic, programmable parts cleaning machines with aqueous cleaning chemicals instead of solvents, it is possible to develop a process that minimises wastage in terms of energy use, water use and the volume of cleaning waste that has to be handled in a compliant fashion.
What does parts cleaning cost?
How much you have to pay for parts cleaning will depend on lots of things: what items you want to clean, what contaminant is on them and how much, what they are made of, how complex their shapes are, how many there are, how often you need to clean them, and how clean you need them to end up.
Beyond that, however, there are hidden costs to consider. Manual cleaning requires the complete attention of a person or team, and can end up taking a lot of time and energy to achieve the right result. Rags, tools and regular supplies of solvents and other cleaning fluids need to be sourced, purchased and kept in stock. Waste resulting from cleaning has to be stored and disposed of in line with regulations, and all the associated compliance documentation has to be kept up to date.
