Centralised Cleaning Systems

Food hygiene equipment

Food hygiene is an essential part of food manufacture, food distribution and the process of producing (or growing) food, as well as food retailing and catering. Due to the human consequences of poor food hygiene, it is particularly important that any food hygiene equipment cleaning system is effective and fit-for-purpose.

Food hygiene equipment cleaning schedule

There are a number of core issues that you should consider about your food hygiene cleaning process, in order to establish and structure a cleaning routine. Commonly, areas associated with food require a multi-stage clean with operators undertaking tasks such as a pre-clean, main clean, rinse, disinfection, final rinse and a drying process in line with a defined cleaning schedule. This cleaning schedule also applies to the cleaning of equipment and the component parts of any process, for example, cleaning of valves, tanks, pipes, pumps, packaging equipment, floors, walls, heating equipment and all the other aspects of your particular food-related process.

Food hygiene equipment cleaning machines

As part of any cleaning schedule, the type of cleaning equipment/machine required for each task should be stipulated, along with the amount of product needed for use alongside/as part of the equipment (e.g. cleaning chemical or foam). For example, you may find the popular and easy to use Modular Pressure Automatic cleaning system (MPA) a cleaning process that works for your premises. Alternatively you may find a single wall mounted or multi-pump central pressure washing machine is what’s required.

Bespoke food hygiene cleaning equipment

If there is not an appropriate mass marketed piece of cleaning equipment for the tasks that you need to achieve, commissioning a bespoke cleaning solution is the most comprehensive, and cost effective, way to achieve your objectives. A commonplace activity for companies such as BG Clean, these customer-defined, tailor-made pieces of equipment can offer you the versatility that you require to the specification that you need.
And don’t forget, there are multiple rules and regulations surrounding the food industry and its cleaning protocols. Some standards are legislative and others are association best practice guidelines. Make sure you are aware of what applies to your business and how you need to comply.
