Basic Information

 Industry: Aluminum Casting / Automotive Lightweight Materials

 Application: Factory floor sweeping, dust suppression, aluminum chip & dross recovery

 Solution: SIBEN S800 Ride-On Industrial Sweeper with integrated vacuum

1. The Challenge

A major aluminum producer (203-acre plant, 200,000 tons annual output, 40+ alloys, 140+ products for auto engines) faced severe cleaning problems:

① Fine aluminum dust, dross, and shavings covered vast casting floors.

② Manual sweeping stirred up secondary dust, harming worker health and product quality.

③ Cleaning required multiple shifts of staff, with high turnover and rising labor costs.

The company needed a cleaning solution that could clean efficiently, control dust, and recover valuable aluminum scrap for reuse.

 

2. The Cleaning Solution: SIBEN S800

After previous good experience with SIBEN models, the plant chose the S800, an S-Class ride-on industrial floor sweeper that combines sweeping, vacuum, dust suppression, and optional disinfection in one pass.

Key features for casting plants:

① Engineered dust control: Built-in vacuum captures fine aluminum dust at the brush, eliminating airborne dust clouds – crucial for combustible dust safety.

② Flexible sweeping width – Adjustable from 1.5 to 2 meters, covers narrow aisles, open floors, and outdoor yards without reconfiguration.

③ 240‑liter hopper – Collects aluminum chips and dross for direct recycling back to the melt furnace, turning waste into raw material.

3. The Results

Metric

Before (Manual)

After (S800)

Labor

2–3 cleaners/shift

1 operator

Dust control

Poor, secondary dust

Zero re‑suspension

Scrap recovery

Minimal

240L hopper, recycled

Warranty

None

2‑year full machine

Key outcomes:

 Labor costs cut by >50% – one machine replaces 2–3 cleaners.

 Floor cleanliness improved dramatically – passes audits and client inspections.

 Aluminum scrap recovered – reduces raw material purchases and supports circular economy.

 Professional plant image – clean floors impress visitors and regulators.

 

4. Built-In Reliability

The S800 comes with 2‑year full machine warranty, free on‑site training tailored to your floor layout, and a responsive local service network across Southern China.

 

5. Why Your Plant Needs This

If you handle aluminum casting, die-casting, or metal recycling, you face:

 Combustible dust compliance – uncontrolled sweeping creates explosion risks.

 Labor shortages – mechanized cleaning is now a cost necessity.

 Scrap value – aluminum chips are feedstock, not waste.

The S800 solves all three cleaning problems – proven in one of the region’s busiest aluminum plants.

Industrial Cleaning Robot Deployment Guide: Route Stability and Equipment Selection
2026 / - 08 / - 24

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for buyers evaluating industrial cleaning robots and equipment. It outlines essential site assessment criteria—such as route stability, obstacle handling, and infrastructure readiness—and details how to match SIBEN cleaning solutions (including Leishen GT and Fengshen) to specific facility workflows for optimal return on investment.

Industrial Cleaning Equipment: Rental vs. Purchase? A Complete Buyer's Decision Guide
2026 / - 08 / - 19

This article provides a scenario-specific decision-making guide for facility teams comparing the rental versus purchase of industrial cleaning equipment. The author emphasizes that decisions should not be based solely on monthly rent or purchase prices, but rather on the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), including labor savings, maintenance responsibilities, downtime risks, and usage frequency. By evaluating actual operational workflows—such as cleaning areas, soil types, and working windows—businesses can select the optimal equipment strategy to maximize efficiency and control long-term costs.

How to Choose Low-Noise Industrial Cleaning Equipment for Malls, Hospitals, and Schools Based on Cleaning Conditions
2026 / - 08 / - 21

Addressing the noise-sensitive environments of shopping malls, hospitals, and schools, this article analyzes their unique working conditions, including customer traffic flows, 24/7 noise sensitivity, and class schedules. By comparing cleaning pain points across these venues, it offers targeted recommendations for low-noise industrial cleaning equipment: malls prioritize efficiency and Eco-silent modes; hospitals demand ultra-silent performance (56-60 dB) and antibacterial features; and schools balance indoor quietness with multi-surface adaptability. A core comparison table is included to guide facility managers and procurement teams in making informed, high-efficiency decisions.

Industrial Vacuum Selection and Cleaning Equipment Guide
2026 / - 08 / - 20

This guide outlines key considerations for selecting industrial vacuums and floor scrubbers based on dust types, particle sizes, and debris. It highlights the importance of using industrial vacuums as a pre-cleaning tool before wet scrubbing, introduces SIBEN’s automated and standard equipment matching solutions, and provides practical decision criteria to optimize long-term facility cleaning costs.

Guide to Industrial Cleaning Equipment Procurement and Manufacturer Evaluation
2026 / - 08 / - 18

This article explores key factors in industrial cleaning equipment procurement, highlighting that a manufacturer's service capabilities—such as after-sales maintenance, parts supply, and training—are just as critical as machine performance. It guides buyers on scientifically pairing scrubbers, sweepers, and cleaning robots based on workflow, floor materials, and traffic flow, while evaluating total cost, delivery, and support for long-term operational success.

Cleaning Equipment Selection for Electronics Manufacturing Areas
2026 / - 08 / - 17

This article explores the core logic and equipment selection methods for industrial floor cleaning. It points out that factory floor cleaning cannot be evaluated based on area alone; instead, different types of dirt—such as oil stains, dust, metal shavings, and tire marks—must be categorized and treated accordingly, alongside the implementation of a scientific workflow consisting of "sweeping/dust extraction first, followed by scrubbing." Meanwhile, combined with SIBEN's product line (such as walk-behind/ride-on floor scrubbers, industrial cleaning robots, sweepers, and industrial vacuum cleaners), the article provides buyers with decision-making criteria based on facility layout, aisle width, operating time, and long-term costs. It emphasizes the integration of machine combinations, practical operational workflows, and long-term after-sales support to achieve efficient cost reduction.
