The hidden cost of poor cleaning in food factories
Avoiding these hidden costs starts with understanding what is being collected and how cleaning fits into the process.
BVC – British Vacuum Cleaners – is built by Quirepace in Fareham and supplied as industrial vacuums to order. Rather than selecting from a fixed catalogue, each machine is sized and configured for the job it will be doing.
M-Class and H-Class machines are used where dust is hazardous to health. Where there is a risk of an explosive atmosphere, ATEX rated units are required, and in many cases both apply.
Primary filters are available in a range of media including anti-static options, with additional filtration stages ensuring collected material stays contained and discharge air remains clean.
Looking at the bigger picture
Portable machines will always have a place because they are flexible and easy to move. On larger sites, however, multiple machines and cable routes can begin to interfere with production.
In these situations, Central Vacuum Cleaning is worth considering. A central plant connected to pipework allows operators to plug in where needed, without moving equipment across the factory.
There are no trailing power leads and maintenance is carried out in one location. Cleaning becomes quicker, more consistent and easier to manage. 4 FDPP- www. fdpp. co. uk
