Some of these companies dye their product for their customers. What we have done for them is clean their reel suction dryers. These are large, stainless steel mesh drums that the air flows through them to dry the freshly dyed material. After time these drums become plugged with lint and other sundries. We go in and clean them in place, opening up the mesh holes in the drum, saving them down time and money.
This one is fairly obvious. Most of the work we do is simply cleaning the motors that get covered in pulp. Once these are covered, they can no longer cool themselves properly. There are many other areas inside these plants, just have a look around and ask about problem areas.
These guys press various compounds, usually recycled, into things like the backing of car interiors. After time, in my case once a week, these molds become sticky and need to be cleaned. Clean them hot for best results.
In this process there is usually some kind of bonding agent that gets deposited on all of the machines. It is tough for them to clean buy easy for us, and no mess.
You can clean either the welders themselves or the weld slag that gets tossed around and deposited on the surrounding equipment.
These guys are good customers because of air quality concerns. If they use grit blasting, the grit can get into their air down underground and create breathing problems. We don’t have this concern. You can clean motors, equipment, elevator ropes, and so on.
If you find a couple of coatings customers, they can use you to clean equipment prior to painting. Try and stick to cleaning the equipment to the point where all of the loose paint and dirt is gone, leaving a clean surface to re-coat.
There are many applications, ceilings, walls, equipment, mixers, and conveyors. Remember, dry ice is food grade and will not contaminate their environment.
Inks do not like dry ice. Printing presses are a big business. You can clean them from top to bottom, and they usually take a few days so you can make good money.
This may be a bit tougher for you, but they are very dirty places. Control panels, power factor correction panels, harmonics panels, motors, generators, weigh scales, pumps, compressors, the list goes on. You may want to hook up with an electrical shop to work on the motors.
Big business. Stay to the harder stones, like granite and marble, but don’t be afraid to test on the other stones. We have cleaned bricks where the customer did not want the surface removed thereby maintaining the look of an old building but a clean surface. Once the surface is clean, they can seal it with some sort of sealer.
Another good business, especially in a fire situation. Industrial fires are the best. Industries don’t like when their plants get blasted with the traditional soda blasting when you can do the same thing without adding tons of soda.
