The Challenges of Industrial Degreasing

Mechanical equipment and machinery rely on grease and lubricants to function smoothly. Over time, however, these lubricants can accumulate contaminants such as dirt, dust, and grime from their working environment.

This can present various issues for operation, ranging from overheating caused by reduced heat dissipation to increased friction and wear due to abrasive particles/matter.

Where ineffective degreasing costs you:

The build-up of grease and oil can not only reduce the efficiency of your equipment but accelerate deterioration and part replacement requirements. Without a structured, effective industrial degreasing program, this can lead to a loss in revenue and escalating maintenance costs for your business.

The need for degreasing is not just limited to manufacturing and production sectors, however. Degreasing is crucial where grease may accumulate and for any moving/mechanical parts that provide function in your business.

Common components affected include:

  • Bearings
  • Engines
  • Forklifts
  • Food production equipment
  • Electronic equipment
  • Floors
  • Transport equipment
  • Heat exchangers
  • Lifting gear
  • External storage tanks

Many businesses rely on universal degreaser solutions, which can pose environmental and safety risks due to their harsh chemical content. Industry and application-specific degreasers must be used to ensure safety, suitability, and effective degreasing in your business.

Advantages of our Degreasing Solutions

Degreasing is the foundation of all maintenance programs. Our degreasing programs ensure ultimate performance for your equipment maintenance, delivering a range of benefits, including:

  • Minimized wear and tear
  • Reduced friction between the surfaces of moving parts
  • Protection machinery against rust and corrosion
  • Maintains operational temperatures in balance
  • Lowered possibility of heat-related component damage
  • Decreased downtime and associated costs
  • Improved life span of machinery

What you must consider when choosing the Right Degreaser Program

Degreaser programs aim to remove grease without excessive wiping or scrubbing, avoiding machinery damage. 

Some degreasers, however, contain harmful chemicals or solvents that pose risks to the environment and safety of the workforce.

Industry-specific requirements must also be considered when implementing a degreaser program. For food production and handling businesses, food industry degreasers must be food-safe to ensure safety and legal compliance.

It is essential to select appropriate degreasers and degreaser programs that are aligned with your point of application and sector.

With over 100 years of experience and industry excellence, we deliver bespoke industrial degreaser programs to a range of leading businesses worldwide. Our custom programs ensure the suitability of degreasers for your equipment and machinery, while taking into account the unique requirements of your business and industry.
