Cleaning in manufacturing is critical to product quality, worker safety, and compliance. Dust, debris, and spills can damage equipment, cause downtime, and create safety risks. Regular cleaning keeps production lines efficient, compliant, and audit-ready.

Manufacturers use a range of equipment, including industrial vacuums with HEPA or ATEX certification for dust control, floor scrubbers and sweepers to maintain safe workspaces, and high-pressure washers for heavy-duty cleaning. Nilfisk also offers process-integrated and mobile solutions to fit different production environments.

In industries like electronics, battery manufacturing, and automotive, even small amounts of dust or residue can compromise product quality. Proper cleaning removes contaminants, prevents defects, and helps manufacturers consistently meet customer and regulatory requirements.

ATEX certification means equipment is safe to use in areas with explosive or hazardous dust. In manufacturing, this protects workers, reduces ignition risks, and helps facilities stay compliant with strict safety regulations.

Nilfisk machines are designed to reduce water, energy, and detergent use without sacrificing performance. That means lower operating costs, improved resource efficiency, and measurable progress toward sustainability targets. They’re also built with ergonomics in mind, helping to reduce strain and support employee wellbeing — a key part of the “social” in ESG.

Our machines are built for durability and easy maintenance, reducing unplanned service interruptions. And when support is needed, our global service network provides fast troubleshooting and repairs to keep your lines moving.

To make ESG reporting easier, Nilfisk provides a CO₂ calculator so you can estimate the carbon footprint of your machines and support sustainable procurement decisions.
