Over time, dirt, grease and corrosion build up on equipment, whether it is inside or out. Cleaning and protecting machinery can extend its life and save money in the long run. There is also the added benefit of it making the whole area look great.
When people think of cleaning, images of solvents, soaps and plenty of water come to mind. Pretty simple, but also pretty messy. Industrial cleaning usually requires different techniques, especially if the machinery in question is sensitive to water or the area it’s housed in has to stay dry. At Celtic, we have the best techniques and practices that allow us to refurbish the looks of almost any piece of equipment.
In some locations we can use media blasting, which quickly and efficiently removes layers of dirt, grease and old paint. Our media is a low-dust formula and is safer for the operator, business’ employees and the environment. This is a great option that works in many circumstances.
Sometimes, though, the best way to get the job done is with basic hand tools. Wire brushes, scrubbing pads, sanders and grinders are all tools of the trade. That, and. Sometimes degreasers or other solvents are sprayed on to help soften residue. This also means plenty of elbow grease is used along the way.
Once everything is cleaned up, we prep it for paint. This generally includes a rust inhibitor or other protectant layer and is part of the primer. Then the paint is applied. The paint adds another layer of protection, as well as making the equipment look new.
Our goal is to make your machinery look great and last as long as possible. All work areas are clean and controlled environments, good for both our people and yours. Our clients experience as little interruption to their daily operations as possible. Contact us for more information, discuss your needs or get your questions answered.
