INDUSTRIAL CLEANING
CLEANING ON AN INDUSTRIAL SCALE
For industrial sites to continuously run smoothly, they need to be kept to a safe, productive standard whenever, wherever – whatever. With that in mind, Kärcher tell us how they can help to keep your industrial facility up to scratch.
Heavy industry, chemical and other engineering environments are home to a whole host of hazards; spills, leaks, manufacturing resides, encrusted dirt and dust – sometimes hazardous. Production grime is inevitable; how you respond is not.
Whether recovering grinding dust or tackling swarf, collecting rogue cable clippings, fallen nuts, bolts and washers, or more hazardous materials, Kärcher’s robust industrial vacuums are specially designed for tough environments. Reliably picking up dry debris and liquids – even coarse and abrasive materials, hot, sticky, acidic or alkaline solutions – these steel constructed units are suitable for engineering, foundries, food production and the automotive industry.
Slim upright construction demands little by way of floor space and sturdy castors allow free mobility so the vacuums can be easily moved around your factory and production areas to tackle spills and accidents when they occur. A prompt response to leaks and spills is vital given that more than 22,000* workplace accidents were reported as caused by slips and trips last year – and floors that are wet or contaminated account for the vast majority of these. However it isn’t just liquid that needs addressing; even common dust, once settled, can greatly reduce the slip resistance of hard floors.
And dust on the floor isn’t the only issue; Kärcher Group Ringler provides built-in extraction systems with specialist solutions for pharmaceutical, food, metal and plastic industries. Extraction systems offer considerable improvements in work safety, working conditions, air quality and also product quality. Excelling at handling explosive, carcinogenic and hazardous materials, 3D printing technology for nozzles is

available to ensure perfect contact with machinery.
Mechanised cleaning technology delivers rapid return on investment in industrial settings through impressive productivity savings and protection for valuable equipment and apparatus. Alongside industrial vacuums, sweepers and scrubber dryers can
be a real asset tackling dust and preserving appearance in an industrial environment. Cleaning and drying in a single pass, Kärcher scrubber dryers eliminate slip hazards and prevent working areas being out of bounds whilst wet – minimising impact on productivity whilst cleaning takes place – whenever and wherever it happens.
Kärcher has both the products and the knowhow to provide the very best cleaning solutions for a wide variety of industrial environments. Alongside established industrial cleaning machines such as parts washers, vacuum cleaners, hot water pressure washers and stationary high-pressure cleaners, Kärcher has developed highly innovative blast cleaning products to improve safety, reduce costs, and offer new levels of industrial cleaning standards.
Kärcher's Ice Blaster range offers a portable, non-aggressive, but thorough method of cleaning surfaces, tools, moulds and machines without causing damage to the substrate or the environment. The machines can be used in indoor and outdoor areas and do not require chemicals. The process is particularly suited to environments where machine cleaning and maintenance is essential, and can significantly reduce downtimes and costs.
Unlike sand blasting, ice blasting keeps surface abrasion to a minimum. As cleaning with dry ice is performed without chemicals or detergents, and leaves no waste water, it is environmentally friendly and can even be used in areas where cleaning with water is prohibited or inconvenient.
