Most operations do not realize their wash process is increasing operational cost.
The equipment looks “clean.”
But over time:
• oxidation increases
• surfaces dry out
• labor hours rise
• hydrophobic performance falls
• contamination builds in seams and hardware.
The cost compounds slowly enough most operations never notice it until repainting, corrosion repair, or resale loss appears.
1 extra labor hour per wash
20 washes per year yearly average
$100/hour labor= $2,000 per machine annually before downtime is added or rusty bolt repairs.
