The URKW range of hygiene stations are designed to ensure that employees and visitors completely wash, dry, and sanitize their hands then clean the soles of the footwear prior to entering a food production or processing area.
The range comes in three different footwear cleaning options, a set of dedicated sole cleaning brushes, or a set of dedicated sole cleaning brushes with either the addition of 3” high brushes for cleaning the sides of the footwear or 12” high brushes for cleaning the sides of full boots.
The machine is fitted with a stainless-steel turnstile to ensure that operators use the machine correctly and have thoroughly sanitized their hands prior to entering the processing area.
Operational Design
The operator simply steps up on to the machine where an electrical sensor initiates the rotation of the brushes, water and the customers chosen chemical is then sprayed from the spray bar mounted adjacent to the brushes, a light illuminates the inside of the first chamber to wash their hands.
The simultaneous insertion of both hands inside the first chamber activates a pump which sprays the chosen soap onto the operators hands allowing the user to rub their hands together to agitate the soap, after a short delay water is then sprayed on to the operators hands allowing them to rinse off the soap, the operator then dries their hands within the automatic Dyson air blade that is mounted on the machine.
The operator then moves to the second set of chamber where the hands are inserted and the customers chosen sanitizer solution is sprayed on to their hands, the turnstile at the end of the machine unlocks allowing the operator to pass through while walking over the sole cleaning brushes.
Upon leaving the production area the operator simply steps up to the machine and a sensor mounted on the handrail unlocks the turnstile and initiates the rotation of the sole brushes allowing the operator to walk over them.
All process parameters within the machine are controlled by a controller which allows the adjustment of parameters such as brush rotation time, hand wash time, hand sanitation time and how long the turnstile stays open.
Safety Features
Our range of hygiene stations are designed with safety in mind, an emergency stop push button is mounted on the machines column to cut the machines operation within an emergency situation, a reset pushbutton is installed to ensure that the machine is safe to start.
The steps on each are non-slip stainless steel, handrails are on either the left or right side of the machine for the operator to steady themselves on while walking over the sole washer machine.
Sanitary Design
As with all our equipment our range of Hygiene stations are built using hygienic principles in mind, the brushes can be easily removed without the use of tools by simply lifting the stainless steel cover and sliding it off the motor cam.
The construction of the machine is manufactured from 304 grade stainless steel, surfaces are radiused, so water drains easily form the frame.
The chemical is stored within the compartment of the machine.
Choosing a Chemical or Sanitizer
CM Process Solutions does not specify chemicals for our range of boot washers, sole washers or hygiene stations, nor unlike some of our competitors does our warranty obligate you to buy chemicals from us in order to receive spare parts or support.
We understand that each application is unique, and we fully believe that there is no one who understands your needs better than you, the customer and your current chemical supplier.
