How to Tackle Unique Problems with Bespoke Industrial Cleaning Solutions

Innovation and development are two essential aspects of industry and manufacturing. It is no different for industrial cleaning. Kingfisher Industrial Services are experts in developing bespoke industrial cleaning solutions to solve difficult challenges, allowing us to succeed in jobs where many other companies haven’t. 

Developing Solutions to Industrial Problems

1. Sourcing the Correct Equipment 

From diggers to 80 tonne cherry pickers, we pride ourselves in always finding the right tool for the job. Our team have had over 40 years of experience to know what piece of equipment is needed to complete a job effectively and safely.

2. Having the Right Attitude 

A professional and dedicated mindset has been the core value of Kingfisher since its inception in 1978. That’s why our people are our greatest asset. Meet the team here.

3. Innovation and Development

Industrial facilities often present new and different cleaning challenges, requiring innovative solutions. 

We have created multiple unique solutions for industrial cleaning, including high power vacuums for oily gantries, drones for high-level survey work, and streamlined cleaning methods for manual labour-intensive work.

If we do not know of an existing method to tackle the task safely and effectively, then we will develop a bespoke solution that works for your business. This is how Kingfisher has solved multiple tough challenges for our clients in the past.

4. Logistical Planning

A highly innovative solution, no matter how effective, means nothing if it causes disruptive and therefore expensive interruptions to your production and operations.

All of our work is planned at a time convenient to your business, with flexible and adaptable services to ensure zero interruptions to day-to-day activities.

Case Study: Forehearth and Furnace Area Cleaning after a Factory Fire

In 2020/2021, there were 1749 fires reported across manufacturing facilities, mines and quarries, vehicle repair workshops, warehouses, storage facilities and other industrial premises. Of these, 1592 were accidental. 

The build up of dirt, oil and grime is an extremely dangerous hazard when it comes to industrial facility fires. If a heavy commercial or manufacturing plant operates with furnaces or hot areas, steelwork and machinery can easily get covered in oil and dust. If the dust ignites, fires or even explosions can spread quickly. 

That is why the cleaning of dust, oil, grime and contaminants around industrial furnace, forehearth, gantry and hot areas is crucial. If machinery, girders, steelwork and roofs are effectively and routinely cleaned, there is less chance of fires igniting and spreading. 

At the same time, if there has been a fire at your facility, it is imperative to clean any ash or grime that is now contaminating your production area and reducing your efficiency. This build-up could also cause further fires if not cleaned properly.

However, forehearth and furnace cleaning is highly specialised work, as it takes place both at high level and in extremely hot temperatures.

Difficult work in difficult conditions is where Kingfisher come in. Not many companies in the UK offer this service of furnace area cleaning, not least to a high quality standard.

Fortunately, we have developed a specialised working method to clean dust, dirt, oil and contaminants effectively and most importantly, safely. Our work is rigorously Risk Assessed and conducted by our trained and professional industrial operatives. 

We have developed a bespoke solution to this specific and niche industrial problem to aid fire prevention and provide firebreaks for our clients. Most importantly, this work was completed with zero production interruptions and without dropping any contaminants onto the machinery or floor below.
