The Problem:
A renowned brewery in Asia faced significant challenges when it came to cleaning the power transmission parts of its conveyor belts. The brewery used a semi-automatic solvent parts cleaner to remove deteriorated lubricant from contaminated components. However, this traditional cleaning method resulted in several major issues:
- Harmful solvent vapors posed serious health risks to workers, leading to safety complaints.
- The solvent vapors created a fire hazard, raising concerns about the safety of the brewery’s operations.
- Government authorities issued a mandate for the company to address these issues, requiring equipment upgrades to create a safer work environment.
The Solution:
In April 2015, the brewery switched to using Torrent 500 for cleaning their conveyor belt power transmission parts. This new solution provided multiple benefits:
- Torrent 500 delivered a much more effective cleaning process than the old solvent-based method.
- It completely removed cutting oil from hard-to-reach corners, an area where traditional methods struggled.
- The use of Torrent 500 eliminated the environmental and safety issues associated with toxic solvents and harmful vapor emissions.
- By complying with government-mandated corrections, the brewery avoided costly facility upgrades.
By adopting Torrent 500, the brewery improved its operational efficiency, enhanced worker safety, and created a more environmentally friendly workplace, and the Torrent is still being used today!
