LiveCleaning Nanomaterial Technology

Cleaning of Live Electrical Equipment

More safety, efficiency and operational continuity.

Exclusive nanoparticle-based technology for cleaning live electrical equipment up to 500 kV, with no need to power down. It doesn't just remove contamination — it also creates a protective film for the equipment that reduces recontamination and extends equipment conservation. Compatible with any type of electrical or electronic equipment.

Safe Non-toxic Non-corrosive Non-flammable 100% volatile Not classified as dangerous goods (Non-DG)
⚠️

Do your electrical panels fail, or do your substations suffer interruptions?

Accumulated dirt is one of the leading causes of overheating, insulation failures, unplanned shutdowns and substation interruptions. Often the problem isn't the equipment itself — it's the contamination building up over time.

MachPass Solutions
How it works

From assessment to results, in three steps

1

Assessment and planning

We assess the condition of your equipment and define, together with your team, the cleaning plan best suited to your installation.

2

Application on live equipment

The nanomaterial is applied directly to the live equipment, with no need to power down the installation or stop operations.

3

Verification and report

We confirm the results achieved and share recommendations for extending the conservation of the cleaning over time.

Key advantages

Why LiveCleaning is different

🛡️

Non-toxic, non-corrosive and non-flammable

Not classified as a hazardous chemical product. Preserves the electrical and mechanical integrity of components in the short, medium and long term, while providing greater safety for the operator.

⚛️

Nanomaterial

The nanoparticles encapsulate contaminant particles, promoting their physical and chemical isolation and increasing safety during operation.

🧴

Protective film

Forms a continuous protective film over the equipment's surface, reducing the adhesion of new contaminants and extending the cleaning's conservation.

💨

100% volatile

Fully evaporates after application, eliminating the need for drying, product disposal or special treatment, reducing environmental impact.

⏱️

Operational agility

Specific machines for each voltage class, with cleaning of live systems up to 500 kV. Average time of 10 minutes per m² for a complete cleaning.

Detergent effect

The nanomaterial provides a detergent effect, encapsulating contaminants and breaking the adhesion forces that keep them attached to surfaces.

Cases

Proven results across different sectors

LiveCleaning is already used by companies across different segments, demonstrating its efficiency in removing various types of contaminants under different operating conditions.

Mining

Substation at a mining company

Challenge: insulators, voltage and current transformers contaminated with industrial process dust, humidity and sea salt (plant located by the coast).

Before LiveCleaning: the client cleaned the equipment manually, scrubbing it with water and soap — a slow process, taking several hours, that left cleaning residue on the components.

With LiveCleaning: cleaning and protection performed 80% faster, with fewer man-hours and less plant downtime — better results and greater equipment reliability.

Pulp & Paper

Production line — tissue paper industry

Challenge: electrical panels contaminated with a high concentration of tissue paper particles. When the panel is switched off and cold, the paper absorbs moisture from the environment — a critical problem when re-energizing, with a risk of burning electronic components and a high incidence of trips caused by poor contact and overheating.

Context: the client operates 24/7, with very few hours available for shutdown — making it impossible to fully clean the panels across the entire production line.

With LiveCleaning: the entire line — 14 panels, 25 m² — was cleaned within a single working day. A 90% reduction in man-hours, and fewer trips and burnt components.

Steel

Multinational steel company

Challenge: electrical panels and equipment contaminated with iron ore dust, an abrasive, conductive material that builds up quickly on components and increases the risk of short circuits and insulation failures.

Context: the plant runs continuously, with narrow maintenance windows — making frequent, complete cleaning of the most exposed panels difficult.

With LiveCleaning: cleaning performed with the equipment fully live, with no need to interrupt production — reducing downtime and the risk of failures linked to iron ore contamination.

Automotive

Automotive industry

Challenge: electrical panels and equipment contaminated with oil mist and plastic particles from the production process, promoting dirt build-up and increasing the risk of overheating and poor contact.

Context: production runs at a fast pace, leaving little room for extended shutdowns dedicated to cleaning the panels.

With LiveCleaning: cleaning and protection performed with the equipment fully live, reducing the need for scheduled shutdowns and extending the intervals between cleanings thanks to the protective film.
