Heavy Machinery Degreasing
Fire prevention is the number one benefit, because the NFPA cites dirty equipment as a primary accelerant in industrial fires. Solvent, steam, and dry-ice degreasing of CNC machines, presses, conveyors, and robotics, with full Lockout/Tagout and containment across WNY.
Why choose J&K for Heavy Machinery Degreasing?
Industrial degreasing is a critical maintenance function, not aesthetic work. Accumulated grease, oil, and grime on production equipment is a serious safety and operational risk, and J&K Precision Cleaning treats it that way. Fire prevention is the number one benefit: hydraulic fluids and lubricants create a flammable mist, and the NFPA cites dirty equipment as a primary accelerant in industrial fires. Beyond fire, clean machines enable preventative maintenance by making leaks visible, opening up inspection access, and preventing heat-trapping grime and lubricant contamination that shorten asset life. Degreasing also drives OSHA compliance and operator safety by removing slip-and-fall hazards and keeping controls and E-stop buttons visible and functional under the Section 5(a)(1) general duty clause, and it protects production quality by preventing cross-contamination in sensitive industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and plastics. We match the method to the machine. Solvent-based manual cleaning uses industrial-grade degreasers and hand scrubbing for precise work. High-pressure steam and hot water cut caked-on organic compounds within fully contained areas. Dry ice blasting is non-abrasive, non-conductive, and non-water-based, which makes it 100% safe for electronics, motors, and sensitive robotics. Every job includes full containment and waste management: we cover sensitive components, build containment berms, use industrial wet-vacs, and coordinate with your facility EHS protocols. We service the full range of production equipment: CNC machines (mills, lathes, routers), industrial presses (stamping, injection molding, extrusion), conveyor belts and automated lines, robotic arms and welding cells, food production equipment (mixers, ovens, hoppers), industrial mixers and blenders, press pits and equipment sumps, and HVAC units, chillers, and air handlers. Safety governs the whole process through a strict Lockout/Tagout procedure. We begin with a pre-service walkthrough with your maintenance manager or safety lead, verify de-energization and LOTO compliance, prepare the site with containment and safety signage, execute degreasing using the pre-approved method, and finish with a final inspection walkthrough before re-energization. We are open 24/7, including emergency service, across Western New York from Buffalo to Jamestown to Fredonia. Most clients tie deep degreasing to their preventative maintenance schedule, choosing quarterly, semi-annual, or annual service during planned production shutdowns, and we can extend the job to the greasy floor around the machine with industrial floor scrubbing as part of the same visit.
Our step-by-step procedure.
- 01
Walkthrough & Lockout/Tagout: We meet your maintenance manager, verify de-energization and LOTO compliance, and prepare the site with containment and signage.
- 02
Method-Matched Degreasing: We degrease using the pre-approved method, whether solvent scrubbing, contained steam, or dry ice blasting for sensitive electronics.
- 03
Inspect & Re-Energize: We complete a final inspection walkthrough and recover all waste before the equipment is safely re-energized.

Heavy Machinery Degreasing FAQs
Is this safe for the electronics and control panels on my CNC machines?↓
Yes. This is our primary concern. We either meticulously cover and waterproof all sensitive components, or we recommend a dry-finishing method like dry ice blasting, which is 100% safe for electronics and motors.
How often should machinery be degreased?↓
It is usually tied to your preventative maintenance schedule. Most clients schedule quarterly, semi-annual, or annual deep degreasing during planned production shutdowns.
How is this different from daily operator wipe-downs?↓
Professional service removes heat-bonded, caked-on grime from the entire machine, including housings, sumps, and internal framework. It is a deep restorative process, not daily tidying.
