Cleaning Challenges in Factory & Workshop Scenarios

 
 1. Complex, Mixed Soils – Very Different Cleaning Challenges
Workshop floors are hit by oils (hydraulic, cutting), metal chips, fine dust (powder metallurgy, chemical), adhesive residues and more. Each soil behaves differently: baked-on oil needs hot high-pressure water, swarf jams rotating parts, and dust must be captured without creating a cloud. One single machine can rarely remove them all effectively.

 2. Tight Equipment Layout – Too Many Blind Spots
Lathes, conveyors, tool changers and racks sit shoulder-to-shoulder, leaving only narrow gaps, under-machine voids and sharp corners. Full-size scrubbers simply do not fit; manual sweeping is slow, so chips and sludge build up until they interfere with machines or become a safety hazard.

 3. Cleaning Windows Clash With Non-Stop Production
Lines run 24/7; the only slots available are brief change-overs, shift changes or planned maintenance. Large floor areas, heavy soil loads and slow conventional equipment make a full clean impossible in the time given. Cleaning “in-cycle” risks collision with fork-lifts, AGVs and operators and can drop overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).

 4. Demanding Floor Conditions – Multi-Surface, Multi-Standard
Floors vary from bare concrete and anti-slip overlays to epoxy self-level or stainless-steel plates, often cracked, pitted or oil-soaked. Food/pharma zones add sterile, corrosion-proof requirements. Standard machines either lack the aggression to scour oily concrete or are too harsh for coated floors, and they cannot meet microbial or USDA/EHEDG hygiene levels.

 
 
 
 
Key Points for Factory & Workshop Cleaning Solutions
 
 
 
1. Cleaner-to-Plant Compatibility
Harsh shop-floor conditions—high heat, humidity, corrosive vapors—quickly kill standard motors and PCBs. Machines therefore need IP-rated, chemical-proof enclosures plus anti-wrap/anti-clog systems to survive both the environment and stringy, metallic debris.
 
2. Cleaning Performance Aligned With Production Safety
Low-flow or hybrid vacuum technologies keep floors slip-free for staff and AGVs. Magnetic pre-filters trap swarf before it reaches gears, while reduced-pressure, targeted jets prevent damage to delicate sensors or splash-back of contaminants. “Clean fast – dry fast – stay safe.”
3. Balancing Round-the-Clock Cleaning With Lifetime Cost
24/7 duty cycles burn through brushes, filters and pumps. Wear parts must be changed tool-free in minutes, and components should be modular and long-life. Yet stainless-steel or EX-rated specials for food/pharma zones carry a high purchase price—keeping total cost of ownership low is the real adoption hurdle.
