Machine and surface cleaning

Machinery and surfaces become soiled by oils, greases, cooling lubricants, paints, resins and dust. Eco-Nova offers cleaners for routine and deep cleaning – many of which are not classified as hazardous according to their safety data sheets. The most suitable product depends on the type of soiling and the material.

Problem and Solution

The challenge

Dirty machinery is difficult to maintain; faults are not noticed until later, and components wear out more quickly. Commonly used cleaning agents leave residues or damage plastics, paintwork and seals. Solvent-based cleaning agents also require ventilation and protective equipment.

Our solution

We recommend cleaning agents suited to the type of soiling, material and process. One example is our success story from the metalworking sector: a company switched to using Microsolv NX for cleaning its machinery, which, according to the safety data sheet, is not classified as hazardous. Try out your cleaning agent in advance with a free sample.

Typical areas of application

  • Tool and production machinery
  • Machine housings and cladding
  • Conveyor systems
  • Moulds and tools
  • Metal, plastic and painted surfaces

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cleaner is suitable for cleaning the machine?
That depends on the type of dirt and the material. Water-based or hybrid cleaners are suitable for oil and grease, whilst solvent-based cleaners are best for paints and resins. We’d be happy to advise you.
Are there any machine cleaners without hazard labelling?
Yes, for example Microsolv NX, RF Cleaner, Eco Degreaser or Multisolv – which, according to their safety data sheets, are not classified as hazardous.
Do the cleaning products damage plastics and paintwork?
Compatibility depends on the cleaner and the material. We recommend carrying out a test on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I try out the cleaning products beforehand?
Yes. We provide free samples and, on request, demonstrate how to use them on site.
