Advanced Industrial Asset Cleaning and Maintenance



"TankServ360 was developed as the first company of its kind dedicated to maintaining the coolant, sump and mechanical systems in industrial equipment. It was created to solve the unpleasant and time-consuming task of cleaning machine tools and coolant tanks-removing old coolant, sludge, metal shavings and grease," said TankServ360 Owner and CEO Mike Plachetka.

Every machine tool that has a coolant system requires regular cleaning and maintenance. Clean coolant and properly working pumps are vital to: the health of the machine operators; quality parts for customers; extending tool life and reducing costs; the performance and life expectancy of a machine tool; and maximizing the return on investment.

Unclean machine tanks become contaminated with various metal shavings, oil and even harmful bacteria. Plachetka noted that during high production, machine tanks should be cleaned as often as every six to eight weeks.

"Most manufacturers require the maintenance department or the machine operators to perform this task," said Plachetka. "However, they often lack the knowledge, manpower and/or adequate equipment to get the job done in a safe, quick and effective manner."

"The root cause of most machine tool issues revolves around the cleaning and maintenance of the machine," continued Plachetka. "Heat, chips/swarf buildup, coolant intrusion, coolant contamination, improper coolant concentration and lack of machine lubrication can break down critical components of the machine tool. TankServ360 solves these issues before they become a bigger problem."

"TankServ360 provides low cost, efficient, onsite machine tool coolant tank and cleaning services performed by highly trained technicians. We offer industry-leading cleaning equipment and environmentally-friendly products and disposal methods. TankServ360 is fully licensed and insured," said Plachetka.

TankServ360 cleans and maintains vertical machining centers, turning centers, boring mills, horizontal machining centers, Swiss machines, grinders, waterjets, stamping machines, presses, 5-axis machines, saws, parts washers, gear cutters, tool room equipment, routers, etc.

"Our customers have been able to redeploy human assets to much more meaningful tasks like producing parts, setting up machines, quality control and other tasks while we are taking care of the maintenance," said Plachetka. "The machine operators have been much happier not having to deal with the unpleasant task. Countless machine failures have been avoided by removal of chip/swarf build-up, grease build-up, proper cooling and proper coolant concentration. This means more machine uptime and higher return on a company's investment."
