Oil based fuels and lubricants are important consumables for most industries, especially hot forging, hot rolling and heat treatment. Oils have a tendency to leak and dirty the shop floors, machinery and workmens’ hands. Environment-friendly, water based oil cleaning chemicals manufactured by SPS have proven to effortlessly clean all types of dirty oils, using water. They are found very useful in the following applications:

a. Cleaning oil spilled on metallic chequered plates, epoxy floors and shop floors: Due to frequent oil spills on shop floor and mud deposits over it, a solid oil-mud cake gets formed. Our oil cleaning solution is able to dissipate this solid cake formation and dissolve the oil such that it can be washed off from the shop floor using water. If this exercise is repeated 2-3 times, you can expect an oil-free and dirt free, clean shop floor. Subsequent regular floor cleaning using small quantity of our oil cleaning solution will ensure that the shop floor is maintained oil-free, clean and neat.

b. Cleaning oil from plastic trays, crates and bins used for carrying oily metal products: Metallic bur and oil get deposited in plastic trays. These are difficult to remove. Many times, high-pressure washing-machines are used to clean such trays. The oil and metallic bur falls into these washing machines, causing choking of filters and stoppage. If plastic trays are dipped only for few minutes into our water-diluted oil-cleaning solution, the oil is cleaned and metallic bur falls off easily. Use of expensive tray washing machines could be avoided in many cases. In most cases, subsequent washing operations are much more effective. Problems of filter choking and excessive load on motor due to metallic dirt is avoided.

c. Cleaning of workmens’ hands: Use of sawdust and washing powder detergent for cleaning oily hands is not effective, neither environment friendly. It also leads to dryness and scaling of hands. As opposed to this, use of our oil cleaning solution effectively dissolves the oil and does not cause harm to hands.

d. Cleaning of oil from machinery without damaging its glossy paint finish.

e. Degreasing of machinery parts by dipping in this liquid.

f. Degreasing of oil-quenched forgings and cleaning of quenching oil from floors.
