Cleaning of plastic conveyor rollers in glass processing operations
From deformed rollers to safer glass transfer with Interflon Eco Degreaser
Initial situation
In the cooling section of a glass production line, sheets of glass slide over plastic conveyor rollers. Due to continuous water spray, a thin film of organic residue gradually builds up on the roller surfaces. If not removed, the film becomes uneven and, during standstill, accumulates more heavily at the bottom of each roller, causing deformation over time.
Deformed rollers disrupt the transfer path, increasing the risk of glass breakage, product loss and unplanned downtime.
Solution
The maintenance team introduced Interflon Eco Degreaser, a powerful industrial cleaner, specifically designed to break down organic residues. The product is ready to use, evaporates in a controlled manner and can be safely applied in glass production environments.
Interflon Eco Degreaser is certified to NSF A1, holds the EU Ecolabel, and is both Halal and Kosher certified.
Benefits
- Film removal in seconds
- Prevents roller deformation
- Maintains process safety and product quality
- Ready-to-use and safe for production environments
Conclusion
A simple cleaning intervention enabled this glass processor to prevent roller deformation and significantly reduce the risk of breakage. Interflon Eco Degreaser provided a fast, safe and structural solution in a critical phase of the production process.
