Industrial machinery maintenance involves oil, grease and machining fluid deposits. Controlled steam can loosen contamination on compatible metal surfaces when residues are collected safely. JBS Makina helps maintenance teams select equipment around operating conditions and capacity.
Oil films, cutting fluids and hardened grease around CNC enclosures, presses and workshop equipment make inspection more difficult and can hide early signs of leakage. Effective industrial machinery cleaning is not simply a matter of selecting the highest-pressure washer. Maintenance managers need a repeatable method that removes contamination from approved surfaces without driving moisture into bearings, controls or sensitive mechanical assemblies.
Metal chips and coolant residues can accumulate at access panels, frame joints and removable guards. Lubricating grease collects around service points and exposed metal fittings. On compatible surfaces, controlled steam can soften some deposits and make mechanical removal easier. It does not make oil disappear: loosened residue and contaminated condensate must be captured using appropriate collection equipment.
For the wider method, see our guide to industrial steam cleaning.
Begin with the equipment manufacturer's maintenance instructions and a site-specific risk assessment. Stop the machine and isolate electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic energy according to the site's lockout procedure. Release or secure stored energy before work begins. Shield control cabinets, sensors, open bearings, seals and lubrication points from direct steam exposure.
Remove loose chips and thick grease mechanically where appropriate. Trial the chosen nozzle, distance and dwell time on a small approved section. Avoid holding the jet stationary. Collect oily residues, dry the surface, inspect connections and reinstate any protective lubrication required before recommissioning.
A pressure rating alone cannot predict productivity. Steam delivery in kilograms per hour, temperature at the stated measuring point, heating power and continuous operating capacity are equally relevant. The JBS SCW-05 industrial steam cleaner is listed at 15 bar, 170–210°C catalogue temperature, with a 33-litre tank and two steam guns.
These figures should not be confused with the temperature reaching a machine component. For two-operator work, confirm real steam output under simultaneous load before specifying a workstation arrangement.

Controlled steam can suit localised grease removal on appropriate metal machine housings and dismantled parts. For large, robust exterior surfaces carrying mud or heavy particulate contamination, a hot-water pressure washer may be more practical. This is a separate cleaning method, not a reason to expose electrical equipment or precision components to high-pressure water.
The correct decision depends on surface approval, contamination, drainage and the quantity of material being removed.
Compare cleaning time per component, labour, energy, water, waste handling and planned downtime. A short trial on representative equipment is more useful than a universal claim about time savings. Include electrical supply and servicing requirements when calculating ownership costs.
Do not purchase a machine based on bar figures alone. Send JBS Makina your equipment type, grease load, operating hours and electrical supply, then obtain a manufacturer-direct SCW-05 proposal tailored to your site.
