Do you know why construction machinery is waxed before being shipped overseas?
When using bulk cargo shipping, the machine is waxed before being shipped overseas to protect its surface from erosion by seawater, salt, and other corrosive substances. The wax layer forms a protective film to prevent rust, corrosion, or damage to the machinery’s surface, thereby extending its lifespan and maintaining its appearance. This preventive measure helps ensure that the machinery remains in good condition during transportation and use.
To remove wax from the surface of engineering machinery, the following methods are typically used:
- Solvent Cleaning Agents: Special solvent cleaning agents such as gasoline or mineral oil can be used to wipe the surface and help remove the wax layer.
- Hot Water Cleaning: Using hot water to clean the surface of the machinery can sometimes help soften the wax layer, making it easier to remove.
- Steam Cleaning: Steam cleaning machines can assist in removing the wax layer as high-temperature steam can soften the wax and remove it.
- Mechanical Polishing: In some cases, it may be necessary to use mechanical polishing tools such as sandpaper or a grinder to remove stubborn wax layers.
Before using any cleaning method, make sure to carefully read and follow the cleaning recommendations provided by the machinery manufacturer to avoid damaging the surface or components of the machinery.
