Washdown Cleaning
The creation of dirt is the one certain outcome of any human activity and industrial processes add even more to the problem. Cleaning generally is a time consuming and tiresome (for most people) job. Fortunately machines have been developed to assist in the cleaning regime which is necessary for good housekeeping.
Wash Down Cleaning Equipment
It is almost impossible to carry out efficient wash down cleaning without mechanical aids to assist. At its simplest the washdown equipment could be a basic cold water pressure washer. For instance, hosing down a piece of equipment or perhaps a vehicle that gets dirty during its operation, may be all that’s required. It may be that a hot water pressure washer would be a better option where dirt is more stubborn and detergents or chemicals could be used specific to the nature of the unwanted residue.
Wash Down Cleaning Methods
It may be that a single pressure washer is all that is required. For regular washdown cleaning it is probably better to have a static or fixed pressure washer to ensure that it is always available and its operation can be more easily controlled. Where there is a more complex washdown requirement then a more sophisticated method is needed. A static multi pump system like the MPA Hydra supplied by B & G Cleaning Systems provides the level of automation and flexibility required for ongoing clean up in a modern industrial environment. It is quite often the case that some cleaning will be required during the process with the main clean up taking place at the end of the shift. Because the MPA Hydra is a multi pump system, it allows one or two operators to use it with only sufficient pumping capacity for their needs, and when at the end of the day say ten operators are used to do the final washdown more pumps are used to ensure adequate flows. This system using the appropriate foaming and sanitising agents give an optimum cleaning performance at an economic cost. The MPA Hydra is computer controlled to ensure its efficient use. This method can be used as part of a centralised cleaning system where it is incorporated into a ring main system, designed specifically for a particular production facility.
