Sonic Solutions’ Guide to Industrial Parts Cleaning

Industrial parts cleaning is essential for keeping your machinery and equipment in the best possible condition. Effective cleaning can eliminate excess spending on replacement parts, reduce your downtime, and improve quality, helping your business run smoothly. When it comes to industrial parts cleaning there are various options to choose from. You can buy your industrial cleaning tools, hire the equipment you need to do the job yourself or outsource the task to a specialist. In this article Sonic Solutions considers the key factors that will influence your decision, to help you decide if buying, hiring, or outsourcing is the best option for your industrial parts cleaning.

So Is Buying, Hiring, Or Outsourcing The Right Option For My Business?

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to industrial parts cleaning. Every business is different and unique requirements mean that each option needs to be carefully considered. Here Sonic Solutions has broken down the three options and the scenarios when they might be most suitable.

Buying equipment for industrial parts cleaning might be the most suitable option if:

• The requirement is long-term and relatively stable
• The cleaning process is well known
• The cleaning process is relatively straightforward
• Items to be cleaned are fairly homogeneous
• The equipment required is affordable to the business (either low-cost or financially affluent business)
• Cleaning is an intermediate and integral part of a process, which is difficult or impossible to interrupt. Cleaning must therefore be in-house with its own machines under the complete control of the business
• Intellectual property dictates complete confidentiality of all parts of the production process

Hiring equipment might work for you if:

• The equipment required is not affordable to the business
• Items to be cleaned are varied so a wide range of equipment is required.
• The cleaning requirement is well known, BUT the volumes and duration of requirement are potentially variable so equipment requirements may have to be revised

Outsourcing industrial parts cleaning could be the perfect solution if:

• Your company has little or no cleaning experience or expertise
• The cleaning methods and requirements are not well-known by your team
• In-house cleaning has proven ineffective and costly
• There is no scope for setting up an in-house cleaning operation (space, services, environmental issues etc..)
• The cleaning requirement is specialist (often multi-staged and multi-processed)
• The cleaning requirement is for a limited period (not warranting the expense of setting up cleaning operations)
• The cleaning requirement is critical, vital and immediate and there is insufficient time or resources to set up an in-house cleaning operation (the cleaning contract is a prelude to setting up an in-house cleaning operation)
• Cleaning is incompatible with existing operations, be it the noise, chemicals, waste disposal, or other environmental considerations
• Cleaning requirements are very variable and in-house cleaning capacity may be overloaded so subcontract cleaning handles the occasional excess load.

If the above seems just a little overwhelming then don’t worry Sonic Solutions is here to help!
