It’s Ready-Mix Truck Cleanup Time!
July 24, 2024
The construction season is in full swing in many parts of the world. That means now is a good time to reevaluate your current concrete cleanup strategy. If you find your process unsatisfactory, Cortec® invites you to add MCI® Super Remover to your cleanup routine.
Importance of Regular Cleaning
Regular cleaning not only keeps equipment looking good and preserves its value but can also keep it in better working order—especially where concrete buildup is concerned. While cleanup of concrete mixer trucks and tools is imperative, it is also challenging because the dry residue gets so hard workers sometimes have to chisel it off.
Simplify Cleaning with MCI®Super Remover
MCI® Super Remover can cut down on the effort needed by quickly and easily removing hardened concrete residue. After allowing the cleaner to soak into the hardened concrete for a few minutes to several hours, workers can lightly scrape or pressure-wash away the softened residue and then rinse the surface with a VpCI®-41x series alkaline cleaner for neutralization. MCI® Super Remover can be used regularly to keep ready-mix trucks, pan mixers, form work, batching plants, and drum mixers clean and functional.
Worker Benefits
Although appropriate PPE should still be used, MCI® Super Remover is a safer option for workers than muriatic acid. On the cost saving’s side, it can be used multiple times as long as the sediment is filtered out and the pH remains below 2.0. Its biodegradability and low contribution to BOD/COD in wastewater effluent makes it a good alternative to phosphoric and nitric acid cleaners.
Don’t Ignore the Problem
Concrete residue won’t disappear just by ignoring it. Keep your ready-mix equipment in good working condition by giving it a regular cleaning with MCI® Super Remover. Contact Cortec® for more details on removing concrete buildup.
