The Importance of Regular Cleaning & Lubrication
Fire extinguishers are often exposed to harsh environments, especially in industrial settings, where dust, debris, and moisture can accumulate. Regular cleaning and lubrication help prevent rust, corrosion, and mechanical failures, ensuring your extinguishers are always ready for use.
Benefits of Fire Extinguisher Cleaning & Lubrication
- ● Maintain Peak Performance: Proper cleaning and lubrication ensure fire extinguishers work efficiently when needed.
- ● Reduce Wear & Tear: Lubricating the moving parts reduces friction and prevents damage from corrosion.
- ● Fire Risk Reduction: Clean and well-lubricated extinguishers minimize the risk of malfunction during a fire emergency.
Our Cleaning & Lubrication Process
Our team of certified technicians uses professional techniques to clean and lubricate fire extinguishers, ensuring they remain fully functional and safe to use in case of fire.
- Surface Cleaning: We remove dirt, dust, and debris from the exterior of each fire extinguisher, ensuring all labels and instructions remain visible and intact.
- Inspection of Moving Parts: Pins, handles, and nozzles are inspected for wear and tear or corrosion.
- Lubrication: All moving parts are lubricated with fire-safe products to prevent sticking, rust, or malfunction.
- Final Testing & Verification: We perform a functional check to ensure the extinguisher is fully operational after cleaning and lubrication.
- Service Tag Updates: Once the maintenance is complete, we update the service tag and provide detailed records for your compliance logs.
This meticulous process ensures your fire extinguishers are free from debris and corrosion, reducing the risk of malfunction in an emergency.
Compliance & Equipment Longevity
Regular cleaning and lubrication are essential for maintaining fire extinguisher compliance with NFPA 10 and OSHA standards. Neglecting these maintenance tasks can lead to equipment failure, costly repairs, and non-compliance penalties.
