Water is vital for life, yet businesses waste vast amounts - over 9.5 trillion litres yearly, accounting for nearly 30% of global water loss. With only 2% of the planet’s water being freshwater, the urgency for conservation has never been greater.

We are committed to reducing our water footprint, both in our own operations and through the efficient design of our products.

Our expertise in industrial cleaning systems allows us to help businesses reduce water waste while maintaining hygiene and efficiency. From real-time monitoring to high-efficiency washing systems, here’s how we are trying to make a difference.

Imagine cutting your water consumption in half—without compromising on hygiene. At BOONS FIS, we want to make that possible with innovative cleaning systems designed for efficiency and sustainability.

Smart water management with Obtimize

Efficiency starts with insight. Many businesses unknowingly waste thousands of liters of water due to inefficient cleaning processes. Obtimize, our digital monitoring system, helps to prevent this.

What is Obtimize?

Obtimize, an in-cloud monitoring system, uses real-time sensors to track water and chemical agents usage (such as flow, pressure and dosage), detect inefficiencies and provide precise data to optimize cleaning processes. This system helps businesses meet sustainability targets while ensuring hygiene standards remain uncompromised.

The Impact

Automated tracking ensures compliance with environmental regulations
Optimized water flow leads to lower operational costs

High-efficiency pressure-booster systems: maximum cleaning, minimum water waste

Food production requires large amounts of water while meeting strict hygiene standards. Traditional cleaning methods often lead to excessive water consumption. To counter this, at BOONS FIS we integrate Grundfos pressure-booster pumps into our cleaning systems.

Why it matters

Advanced IE5 motors provide precise water control
Optimized pressure contributes to an efficient cleaning proces while minimizing water use
Energy-efficient systems contribute to a lower carbon footprint

Case study: real results

A leading dairy producer switched to our pressure-booster system and reduced their water consumption by 35%, while maintaining the highest hygiene standards.

Water-efficient crate washers: cleaner results with less water

Pallets, crates and eurobins are commonly used in food storage and transport (in the agri-food industry), therefore it is important to clean them regularly to remove all traces of bacteria and contaminants. Not only is manual cleaning time-consuming and costly, it is often ineffective. With the automation of this process, you can be sure of the smooth and rigorous cleaning of your crates and eurobins while saving time and money.

BOONS FIS offers automated, water-efficient crate and eurobin washers that reuse water while ensuring a high level of sanitation. The used hot water from the rinsing zone is not wasted, but automatically flows to the water tank, so that this water is reused in the washing zone. Thanks to this recovery process, the water and energy consumption of these appliances are kept to a minimum.

Sustainable testing: zero water wasted

Before any cleaning system leaves our facility, a Final Acceptance Test (FAT) is conducted to ensure its quality and performance. Unlike conventional testing methods that waste significant amounts of water, BOONS FIS has implemented a closed-loop system that allows us to reuse every drop.

How it works:

Water is pumped from a large vat beneath our production facility
It is used for rigorous equipment testing
After testing, the water is filtered and recirculated, ensuring zero waste

This approach allows us to maintain high-quality standards while staying committed to water conservation.

Custom-built cleaning systems: tailored for maximum efficiency

Every industry has unique cleaning challenges. Off-the-shelf solutions often lead to excess water usage, which is why BOONS FIS specializes in custom-built cleaning systems that optimize:

Water flow
Pressure regulation
Temperature control
Chemical dosing

Case study: water savings in the dairy industry

A leading cheese producer faced a major challenge: maintaining strict hygiene standards while cutting water waste. Our team designed a tailored cleaning system with a booster pump and precision chemical dosing, allowing them to:

Cut water consumption by 30%
Improve cleaning efficiency
Maintain strict food safety compliance

By designing bespoke solutions, we ensure that businesses meet their operational needs while significantly reducing water usage.
