Sole washers
Shoe washers
Are you involved in meat, fish, vegetable or fruit processing? Do your employees have direct contact with food products? To keep hygiene at your workplace at a high level, opt for the purchase of efficient work shoe washers.
These devices will allow team members to clean their footwear easily, quickly and thoroughly. As a result, they will pass into the clean zone without bringing pathogens that could negatively affect the condition of the processed food. Shoe washers are also needed after work – with their help, everyone will clean their shoes of food residue and properly prepare them for the next day’s work.
Shoe washers – what types are available?
Shoe washers are essential equipment in a processing or food plant. However, in order for them to help keep hygiene at a high level, you can’t choose random devices. Opt for shoe washers tailored to the type of shoes worn by employees, as well as the number of people who enter the hall each day. To make your choice easier, we have prepared various models of work shoe washers.
Low shoe washers
Low shoes are often worn by people who do not work directly “at the line” and therefore do not have direct contact with food products. They are usually office workers, laboratory workers or mechanics. However, they too must wash their shoes before entering the hall to avoid bringing in any pathogens.
For them to be able to do this, the hygiene and sanitation room must not lack a low shoe washer. It is designed exclusively for cleaning soles. We offer three types of these devices.
A simple sole washer with a griffin and a chamber into which the foot is inserted. This device is very easy to use. Simply cover the photocell so that the brush begins to rotate and the cleaning and disinfecting liquid is drawn from the tank and applied to the shoe. This ensures that the sole is thoroughly cleaned. It is worth remembering to insert each leg separately when using this washer.
This washer will work well if you have a small team or few people wear low shoes. If you have a lot of employees, it may take a while to clean your shoes with this device.
Transitional washer for soles
, the use of which significantly reduces the time of cleaning shoes. In order for the device to start, you have to step onto the platform. When the photocell detects movement, it will turn on the brushes and start dispensing cleaning fluid and disinfectant. Shoes are washed at all times when a worker goes through the shoe transition washer. As a result, it only takes a few seconds to clean them thoroughly. As a result, even a large team is able to get ready in a dozen minutes.
Low shoe washer with a gate, which will work well if you want to make sure your employees clean their shoes before entering the hall. The device is equipped with two rotating brushes that start when you step onto the platform. After a moment of cleaning, the interlock is released and the employee can go to the so-called “cleaning”. clean zone. On both sides of the gated low shoe washer are stainless steel processing industry barriers to prevent falls from the platform.
These devices can only be used by one person. If you have many employees, think about buying several washers. In this way, you will help them prepare faster.
High shoe washer
Tall work shoes are most often worn by workers who come into direct contact with food. The long upper protects the feet, for example, from being splashed by various liquids. This keeps them dry throughout the workday.
However, to clean this type of shoes, a device that washes only the soles is not enough. Decide on a high shoe washer that has additional components designed to remove dirt from the uppers as well.
We offer:
A device with two brushes: a rotary one that automatically cleans the soles and a manual one for cleaning the uppers yourself. To turn on this washer, cover the photocell on the griffin. Then the device takes the cleaning and disinfecting liquid and sprays it on the shoes. This ensures that the wellingtons are not only washed, but also thoroughly sanitized;
A high shoe washer with three rotary brushes that clean the uppers and sole at the same time. To use the device, insert your foot into the cleaning chamber and cover the photocell. Then the washing elements are set in motion and thoroughly wash the shoes from all sides. This device will work well if there are a lot of people working on the shop floor. Any employee can quickly clean their shoes without wasting time in the washroom;
a transitional washer for high-top shoes, which has two brushes at the bottom to clean the soles and three elements at the top to wash the upper. It allows you to quickly remove dirt from your shoes, so workers can get ready for work in no time.
High shoe washers should be used by employees not only before they start work, but also after they finish. This will ensure that the shoes are ready to wear the next day. If left dirty, they could become a breeding ground for dangerous pathogens. Such a situation can adversely affect the condition of food. Therefore, it is important to instruct employees on how to proceed.
Expanded hygiene station with work shoe washer
Your plant has had a lot of hygiene training before moving to the production floor? Despite this, some workers still have trouble keeping their hands and shoes clean? We have a solution. It is a hygiene station with a transition washer for high or low shoes. It is a device that consists of:
Hand washing and drying chambers – when you put two hands inside at the same time, the device applies the washing liquid and then starts drying. These elements are found in the most extensive hygiene stations;
Two holes for hand disinfection – when both hands are placed in the chamber at the same time, the dispenser dispenses the disinfectant;
the platform, where there is a transitional washer for high and low shoes – it has rotating cleaning brushes that start only when the worker disinfects his hands. A stainless steel processing industry railing is attached to the platform to protect it from falling.
When the worker washes his hands and shoes, the device releases the gate lock and allows passage through the turnstile.
Only one person at a time can pass through the expanded hygiene station with an operating shoe washer. Each successive must first disinfect their hands and clean their shoes. Otherwise, the device will not release the lock.
The use of the offered station in the plant ensures that all employees take proper care of their hygiene. This way you won’t worry about the level of cleanliness on the production floor.
We offer expanded hygiene stations with a shoe washer in four different versions – left- or right-handed and one- or two-way. In addition, the available devices vary in the number of functions. The basic model only disinfects hands and washes shoes. The more sophisticated stations also have an adjustable reel or the ability to wash hands under running water.
Disinfection passage
Operational shoe washer allows you to get rid of food residue from the uppers or soles. But how can you be sure that pathogens, such as dangerous bacteria or fungi, have also been removed? It is best to use the disinfectant passage. We offer models:
stand-alone, to be placed, for example, in front of the entrance to the production hall;
Which are part of an expanded washing station.
Each passage consists of two chambers in the form of a truss. One is filled with disinfectant liquid, in which the shoes should be dipped. The other is located slightly higher and is dry. There, wait for excess water from the shoes to drain into a container. This prevents the liquid from dripping from the shoes onto the floor after leaving the disinfection aisle. As a result, the floor does not get wet and slippery.
Operating shoe washers – what are they made of?
We offer hygiene stations and transition washers for high and low shoes, which have a stable, sturdy design. It is made – like the barriers for the processing industry – of AISI 304 stainless steel. This material stands out:
resistance to the corrosive effects of water , as well as weaker acids found in fruits, vegetables or meat; despite constant contact with chemicals and sterilization solutions, the steel does not change its properties or structure. As a result, appliances made of steel can serve for many years and perform their functions perfectly;
withstand heavy loads – operating shoe washers can be used by people of different weights. The steel is pressure resistant, so there is no risk of the device getting damaged;
easy to keep clean – this material does not absorb water or moisture, so dangerous pathogens do not develop inside the device. In addition, steel has a smooth surface (as long as it is not scratched by sharp washers), so shoe washers made of this material simply need to be washed with a suitable liquid and wiped with a cloth;
heat-resistant – the devices can be cleaned with steam cleaners without fear of damage. At the same time, hot water helps to effectively remove any contamination from the surface of the material.
On the other hand, the brushes in work shoe washers are made of plastic, which effectively removes dirt, but does not damage the structure of shoes. As a result, they can be used frequently.
We encourage you to take a look at the rest of our range of hygiene and sanitation room equipment that will help you maintain hygiene in your facility. For example, with sensor sinks, you will create a convenient washroom that can be used before entering and after leaving the hall. This will prevent the transmission of pathogens that could adversely affect the condition of raw materials.
