FORT Facility Kft. - Surface cleaning, cleaning

Machine and equipment cleaning is a specialist industrial and facility-management service for production equipment, robots, CNC machining units, ventilation systems, building-services components and their individual parts. The aim of the service is to bring equipment into a cleaner, more organised and easier-to-maintain condition.

Depending on the customer’s requirements, we provide dust removal, chemical cleaning, dry ice blasting and laser cleaning. The appropriate cleaning technology is always selected according to the type, material and condition of the machine or equipment, its accessibility, operating environment and the nature of the contamination.

Contamination on machines and equipment can vary significantly and may include oil, tar, plastic and rubber residues, paint, resin, varnish, dust and other industrial deposits. The same technology is not always the most effective for every type of contamination, so the cleaning method is selected based on our technical experience and adapted to the specific task.

The work can be carried out on-site at the customer’s premises, coordinated with an active industrial or institutional environment, or in our own workshop for smaller components. Our aim is to use a cleaning technology that removes contamination effectively while also protecting the underlying surface and preserving the condition of the equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do we prepare for machine and equipment cleaning?

Before cleaning, we assess the type, material, accessibility and level of contamination of the equipment, as well as the working environment. It is also important to establish whether the machine is located in an active production environment, whether shutdown is required, and whether there are sensitive components that require additional protection.

What information is needed before requesting a quotation?

To prepare a quotation, it is useful to know the type, size and location of the machine or equipment, the nature of the contamination, the objective of the cleaning, and whether the work is likely to be carried out on-site or in our workshop. Photographs, technical information or a site survey can greatly assist in selecting the most appropriate technology.

Can cleaning be carried out during a maintenance shutdown?

Yes. Machine and equipment cleaning is often scheduled during maintenance shutdowns, production breaks or pre-planned maintenance windows. This is particularly useful where production continuity is important and cleaning must be closely coordinated with operations.

When is a test clean or technology trial required?

A test clean may be appropriate when the composition of the contamination is unclear, the surface is sensitive, or several technologies may be suitable. A test clean helps determine which process delivers the best result while protecting the underlying surface.

What determines whether cleaning is carried out on-site or in the workshop?

The decision depends on the size, mobility, installation, sensitivity and cleaning requirements of the equipment. For large, installed or difficult-to-transport equipment, on-site cleaning is usually necessary. For smaller components, cleaning in our workshop may be more efficient.

Does the machine need to be dismantled before cleaning?

This always depends on the specific equipment and the location of the contamination. In some cases, cleaning can be performed on-site while the machine remains installed, while in others it may be more practical to remove certain components and clean them separately in our workshop.

Can cleaning damage the equipment?

The cleaning technology is always adapted to the material and condition of the specific machine, equipment or component. A robust industrial machine, a CNC unit and a more sensitive ventilation system may each require a different approach. The aim is to clean effectively while protecting the underlying surface and preserving the condition of the equipment.

Choosing the right machine and equipment cleaning technology can result in significant time and cost savings.

For more than 35 years, we have been helping our clients select the most effective surface cleaning and industrial cleaning solutions throughout Budapest and across Hungary.
