In an exclusive interview with our CEO, Dean Lancaster, we explore the range of services that our company offers to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our services are categorized into two main sectors: wet plant cleaning and dry plant cleaning. Additionally, we offer complementary services to enhance your food safety and hygiene practices.
Wet Plant Cleaning
Wet plant cleaning is a critical service in environments where the manufacturing process occurs during the day and sometimes extends into the evening, but then production is stopped for cleaning. This includes facilities such as chicken abattoirs, meat processing plants, and various other manufacturing environments. Once production ceases, we take over the plant to prepare it for the next day’s operations. This preparation ensures that production lines are free from any foreign objects and microbiological load, which is crucial for maintaining product safety and quality.
We employ advanced technology known as open plant cleaning systems. This involves on-site pumps that provide satellites with the necessary water pressure to rinse the lines. We then foam the lines with detergent and wash with low-pressure systems, effectively removing all organic material. Additionally, our hygiene operators use hygiene brushes to scrub down the lines, ensuring thorough cleanliness. At the end of the shift, we sanitize the lines, and our management team conducts a pre-inspection to confirm that the plant is ready for production.
Dry Plant Cleaning
Dry plant cleaning differs slightly from wet plant cleaning. These plants usually have longer production runs than a single day and face less risk of microbiological contamination. When production halts, we undertake a deep clean, which might take a day or just a few hours, depending on the requirements. Dry plant cleaning focuses on removing dust and debris from the lines and ensuring there are no foreign objects present. Although primarily a dry process, it does incorporate elements of wet cleaning to ensure thoroughness. This dual approach ensures that the environment remains safe and clean for ongoing operations.
High-Level Cleaning
Our high-level cleaning division provides specialized services in confined spaces, such as silos and holding bins where products are stored. Our teams, trained to operate safely in these challenging environments, use rope access and other necessary techniques to perform their tasks. Safety is important in these operations, and our team members undergo regular safety courses, and all equipment is frequently inspected to maintain high safety standards.
This division handles a variety of tasks, including internal and external silo cleaning and painting. The primary goal is to eliminate any contamination that could lead to stored product insects, which can infiltrate the production environment if not addressed regularly. This meticulous cleaning ensures the integrity of the stored products and prevents contamination of the final output.
Washroom Hygiene and Equipment Rental
Our washroom division focuses on the rental and maintenance of hygiene equipment. This includes providing soap dispensers, hand dryers, and other necessary facilities to ensure that all ablution areas are well-equipped and maintained. This division supports various sites by servicing these units regularly, ensuring consistent hygiene standards across all client locations.
Food Safety Audits
In addition to our cleaning and hygiene services, we assist with food safety audits. These audits are integral to maintaining high standards of food safety and hygiene, ensuring that our clients’ facilities comply with industry regulations and best practices.
