Generally, mining companies use standard degreasers to clean their units. The primary consideration for choosing these commonly available degreasers is usually their low cost. However, their use often results in long-term losses.

Solution

The selection of degreasers should take into account three safety aspects:

• Safe for the user
• Safe for the equipment being cleaned, and
• Safe for the environment.

Ensure to choose a degreaser that does not cause irritation or corrosion and is safe to apply to the unit. It should not cause paint to peel or surfaces to erode. Also, make sure the cleaner has quick break technology and maintains high-quality cleaning performance. A good degreaser does not require repeated washing.

Success Story
