In a food processing facility, a boot washer, also known as a boot cleaning station or boot cleaner machine, is a specialized piece of equipment designed to clean workers’ footwear before they enter and leave the production areas.
The primary function of a boot washer in a food factory is to help maintain a high level of hygiene and prevent the introduction of contaminants into the manufacturing environment.
Reasons for configuring a boot washer in the food factory
1) The floor of the workshop is very dirty and the soles of shoes or boots are easily contaminated.
2) The overall hygiene level of the workshop is high, and there are also requirements for the cleanliness of shoes and boots.
3) After people leave the workshop and enter the changing room, the dirt on their shoes and boots will affect the condition of the changing room.
4) It is difficult for the factory to uniformly clean shoes and boots at a high frequency.
Location of shoe or boot washers

2) If necessary, configuring them in the dedicated cleaning room of the workshop.
