Cleaning Methods
The preferred method of cleaning built up dirt and dust
from electric material handling equipment is dry pres-
sured air. For localized degreasing, use of an appropri-
ate solvent is recommended.
If these methods are not effective and power washing
is the only alternative, extreme care must be exercised.
Electrical components including connectors, terminal
boards and wiring can be permanently damaged from
water and/or cleaning solvents. Mineral and chemical
residue left on or in components (i.e., circuit boards,
contactors, encoders, switches, potentiometers, etc.)
after washing is a proponent of oxidation and corro-
sion.
Functional integrity of contaminated components may
be questionable. Nuisance fault logging, intermittent
operation or immediate failure could be the resultant of
power washing. For these reasons all electronic com-
ponents including motors must be protected. Compo-
nent removal is the best method to eliminate the risk of
damage.
Power washing will also remove and/or destroy lubri-
cants in or on the surface of shafts, unsealed bearings,
hinges, exposed gears, bushings, chains, linkages,
etc. These Items must also be protected or properly lu-
bricated after cleaning.
Consideration must also be given to metal surfaces.
The cleaning process can strip away paint and protec-
tive coatings applied to components (i.e., hydraulic
lines, terminal strips, linkages) for freezer/corrosion en-
vironment. Paint and/or protective coating must be re-
applied to these areas to reduce the chance of oxida-
tion and corrosion.
Before installing removed components, lubricating or
returning the equipment to service it must be free of
solvent residue and thoroughly dry.
