The challenge
Needs of more cleanliness due to dirt dragging
- Location: 3 entrance of the factory in Orbe
- Frequency of use: 90 persons/ day
- Type of cleaning: dry
The solution
3 sole cleaning machines Solamat 90 placed in 3 entrances of the factory. The shoes cleaning machine Solamat 90 has four brushes, which counter-rotate and clean the soles from below. Two lateral disk brushes clean the edges of the soles. Brushed off dirt falls into the large dirt collecting tray. This tray can be easily emptied. The ergonomically shaped handrail provides the user with firm hold.


The benefits
Installing HEUTE sole cleaning machines at every entrance in coffee and cereal plants provides significant benefits by ensuring a high level of hygiene, preventing contamination, and maintaining product integrity. These plants handle raw ingredients that are highly susceptible to contamination from external dirt, dust, and microorganisms carried in on employees' footwear. HEUTE sole cleaning machines effectively remove debris using advanced rotating brushes and vacuum systems, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination between different production areas. This not only enhances food safety and helps plants comply with stringent hygiene regulations such as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) but also improves operational efficiency by reducing the need for frequent floor cleaning. Additionally, maintaining a cleaner environment prolongs the lifespan of machinery and reduces maintenance costs caused by dust accumulation.
By integrating these machines at every entrance, coffee and cereal plants can safeguard their production processes, uphold quality standards, and ensure consumer safety.
