Lantmännen
Lantmännen Unibake is Europe’s second largest bakery group. Less than a year after a fire, the new factory was built in Londerzeel in 2016 with the purpose of turning the establishment into an expertise centre for bread and baguettes. They called in the knowledge and experience of BOONS FIS for the necessary industrial hygiene and cleaning.
There was joint consultation on the development of the hygienic access points that are all different because the different entrances had to comply with different requirements. Different hygiene locks were installed for access to production. These consisted of double hand soaping stations HDK/SF or HDK/SP with housing, a number of washbasins in different designs and hand disinfection stations HDK/VDF with housing. Only one turnstile was chosen for the exit from the lock because the flow of people is further divided through the lock and a second one was not required to ensure smooth passage. Dispensers were also supplied for hair nets, beard nets and earplugs. A standard DK turnstile was still used for leaving production.
The main entrance was also fitted with a double sole cleaner fitted flush in the floor. These entrances must also serve as exits from production, but after passing the sole cleaner one can leave the lock through an ordinary turnstile.
Throughout the factory the toilets and sanitary spaces were also provided with a hygiene lock to be used before one could return to production. Some ten hygiene walls were also installed in different departments. With this configuration one can then wash the hands and clean the soles without having to leave production. These hygiene walls consist of a stainless steel construction with washbasin, soap and paper dispensers, waste basket and sole cleaner. Hygiene can be guaranteed at all times thanks to these walls.
Finally, BOONS FIS also took responsibility for the rinsing space. A complete cleaning unit was supplied and installed for this space. This consists of an eSPU-20/3 EB pressure-booster unit with piping, reels, satellites, hoses, guns and other accessories. The high pressure pump and products are not located in the rinsing space but in a separate closed off chemicals room specially for this purpose. The reels, hoses, selector satellites and other accessories are located in the rinsing space, with the spaces being connected by dedicated piping. One can then clean everywhere with soap with or without foam, or with water with or without pressure.
