Every factory is looking to boost production by speeding up processes without sacrificing quality. Virtually every factory manager knows that they can increase the rate of production by making their operation more efficient. But how many of these managers know that they could boost efficiency, without having to take on any more staff or buy new equipment?

It begins by looking at ways to increase efficiency within the operation that you already have. Those old machines that have been part of your manufacturing processes for years might seem a little slow compared to their new counterparts, but with a little care and attention, they could be running much more effectively.

It is amazing to know that many factory managers do not pay attention the efficiency of their machines until it is too late – i.e they will only call out a repair or maintenance company when the machine is already broken. This is a false economy, as a working machine is much more profitable than a machine that continually breaks down. In fact, a machine being out of action for even a few hours can cost thousands of pounds.

It therefore ...
... makes sense to maintain your machines regularly to keep them running in pristine condition. A big part of this is cleaning your machinery to make sure it can work at its best. Cleaning your machines is not just part of regular maintenance – it can prevent maintenance costs from spiralling out of control. A clean machine is less likely to develop problems caused by dust and debris being caught in its mechanisms. And because cleaning costs are relatively cheap compared to maintenance or repair costs, you can save money by hiring a professional cleaner for your factory.

Cleaning is especially necessary if your factory deals with dusty materials that produce waste that can get stuck in the machine, but any factory operation can benefit from professional cleaning. Remember that conventional cleaning techniques are unsuitable for many pieces of machinery and it will be necessary to get the job done properly.

Professional cleaning for your machine involves carefully selecting products that will not damage the machinery and also using techniques that work around delicate moving parts. An experienced machine cleaner will be able to navigate your machinery with ease and get it sparkling on the outside, and optimised for best performance on the inside. Your machinery will then be ready for production and will be working at its very best.

There are many options available to your company for machine cleaning, from one-off jobs to monthly or yearly cleaning contracts. By signing up to a contract, you will be able to make savings on the cost of cleaning and you also won’t forget to call the cleaner when your machine is ready for its next deep clean!
