With ‘open plant’ cleaning the process machines (conveyor belts, cutting machines, grinders, etc.) and surface areas are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before a new production shift starts.

A cleaning system with a central chemical supply

When the chemicals are supplied to each chemical draw-off point from a central technical space we have a central cleaning system. This system consists of a pump unit that increases the water pressure, a central chemical dosing unit with dosing pumps and a number of draw-off stations spread throughout the production space, depending on the requirements and capacity. 

Your advantages:

• You do not need to bring any chemicals products into the production spaces (safety and logistic considerations).
• You can buy your chemical products in bulk (e.g. large IBC tanks).

This system is highly suitable for larger production spaces with a number of branch points! 

A cleaning system with a decentralised chemical supply

With a decentralised cleaning system each draw-off station is fed by a pumping station (a separate pumping station or pump built into the satellite). The big difference with the central cleaning system is that a jerry can of chemicals must be placed under each draw-off station. The decentralised system is accordingly not fed by a central chemical dosing unit.

Your advantages:

• A different chemical product can be used for each cleaning job and/or department.
• No central chemical piping system required.

This system is highly suitable for smaller production spaces or production spaces with different cleaning needs! 

A mobile cleaning system

Mobile units can also be useful for open plant cleaning. The mobile units work in just the same way as the draw-off stations fixed to the wall. There are also fully “stand alone” systems with built-in pressure-booster pump and/or compressor.
