What Do Bee Clean’s Best-Fit Clients Look Like?

Industrial air filtration is a broad industry, and not every company looking for an air filtration system is the right fit for Bee Clean Specialties. Over nearly 50 years, we’ve developed expertise in specific industries, applications, and equipment where we can provide the greatest value.

What Industry Is Our Best Fit?

Bee Clean Specialties began in 1977 as a general steam-cleaning company, but within a few years we found our niche in cleaning and servicing electrostatic air cleaners. As our company grew, we narrowed our focus to industrial electrostatic filtration systems used to collect oil mist and smoke.

Today, our best-fit clients are manufacturers that generate heavy smoke or mist and either need a new air filtration system or ongoing maintenance for their existing equipment.

Some of the industries we serve include:

Cold Forming

Cold heading and cold forming manufacturers continue to make up the largest part of our customer base. We have worked with many of these companies for decades, helping them collect and filter the thermally generated oil smoke produced during the cold forming process.

Swiss-Type CNC Machining

Swiss-type lathes operate at extremely high spindle speeds and often use high-pressure coolant systems, producing significant amounts of oil mist and smoke. We help machine shops manufacturing medical, aerospace, automotive, and precision components maintain clean, healthy work environments.

Centerless Grinding

Centerless grinding is one of the most demanding applications for industrial air filtration because it produces extremely fine oil smoke along with grinding swarf consisting of metal and grinding wheel particles. Many grinding companies throughout the Midwest rely on Bee Clean Specialties to maintain clean air.

Cutting Tool Manufacturing

Grinding hardened cutting tools on equipment such as ANCA® and Walter® grinders produces large amounts of coolant mist and smoke. We have helped manufacturers including OSG, CERATIZIT, Onsrud, and GWS Tool Group maintain effective air filtration systems.

Plastics and Rubber Manufacturing

Certain plastics and rubber manufacturing processes generate heavy smoke that requires specialized air filtration. Common applications include:

• Blow molding
• Extrusion
• Vulcanizing
• Hot embossing
• Thermoforming

What Equipment Is Our Best Fit?

Electrostatic air cleaners remain the core of Bee Clean Specialties’ business.

We provide preventative maintenance, repairs, replacement parts, filter exchange programs, and troubleshooting for many brands of electrostatic air cleaners, including:

• SmogHog®
• MistBuster®
• Tri-Mist®
• Trion®
• Aerocology®
• Absolent®
• DustHog®
• Torit®
•  CoolBlaster®
• Aeroex®

We also design and install new and refurbished industrial air filtration systems and provide replacement filters for many media filtration systems, particularly those designed to collect oil mist and smoke.

What Company Size Is Our Best Fit?

Our customers range from small machine shops with only a handful of machines to Fortune 500 manufacturers with multiple facilities.

Company size is not the determining factor. Instead, the best indicator is the amount of smoke or mist being generated and the need for reliable air filtration.

A great customer for Bee Clean Specialties could be:

• A machine shop with ten or more Swiss-type CNC machines.
• A grinding facility using oil coolant on their centerless grinders.
• A fastener manufacturer operating hundreds  dozens of cold headers across multiple plants.
• A rubber vulcanizing company with ovens and using  several SmogHogs
•  A plastic blow molding company

•  Steel Heat Treat Processing Facilites.
