Mobile foam posts instead of stationary ones. Advantages of using it in multi-zone cleaning of food enterprises

19 november's 2024

In the face of ever-changing requirements for cleanliness and safety, food processing companies are striving to find more and more flexible and effective ways to maintain hygiene in the workplace. One of the key elements of modern cleaning and disinfection technologies is foam systems, which ensure uniform application of detergents and guarantee thorough surface treatment.

At the same time, traditional stationary foam posts, although they perform their function, can create restrictions in production processes, especially in multi-zone enterprises, where you have to quickly switch between different work zones. In such conditions, mobile solutions that allow you to adapt to the requirements of different sites and save resources are becoming more and more popular.

Fixed and mobile foam posts: what is the difference?

To understand the advantages of mobile foam stations, it is important to first consider the features of stationary systems, which have long been used in the food industry and have proven to be a reliable tool for maintaining cleanliness and disinfection of food.

Fixed foam posts are equipment installed in one fixed location, usually with water, air, and chemical supply lines. These posts are convenient for use in areas with a constant and stable production flow, where cleaning is regularly required and where you can organize access to communications for the supply of resources. Stationary systems perfectly cope with intensive and deep cleaning within one zone, but their disadvantage is manifested when it is necessary to expand or change the treatment areas — this requires additional installation costs and limits the ability to move equipment.

Mobile foam stations, on the other hand, are compact units on wheels that can be easily moved around different areas of the enterprise. They are equipped with everything necessary for autonomous operation, which allows you to quickly connect them to water and chemical sources, as well as adapt them to the tasks of various sections of the road. This mobility makes it possible to quickly switch between areas where cleaning is required, and to carry out processing where a stationary post cannot be installed.

Main differences between mobile and stationary posts

Space efficiency	Requires allocation of permanent space	Does not occupy a permanent place in the workshops
Operating costs	Requires regular on-site maintenance	Minimal when moving as needed

Advantages of mobile foam posts for multi-zone cleaning

In the food industry, multi-zone cleaning is a necessity dictated by the specifics of the production process. Mobile foam posts have become a popular solution, as their capabilities meet the requirements of flexibility, economy and user-friendliness. Let’s look at the main advantages of mobile cleaning systems in such conditions.

Flexibility and mobility

One of the key advantages of mobile foam posts is their ability to move quickly between security zones. This is especially useful for large-scale industries, where the areas that need cleaning may be located at a considerable distance from each other. The ability to move equipment saves time and allows you to process multiple zones at once as needed, which increases the overall productivity of the enterprise.

Save space

Mobile foam posts take up significantly less space than their stationary counterparts, as they do not require a permanent installation area. This is especially important for rooms with limited space, where space is worth its weight in gold. Compact mobile equipment can be stored separately and placed in production areas only when it is needed.

Convenience and efficiency

One of the advantages of mobile posts is that they do not require complex engineering wiring. Unlike stationary systems that need to be connected to permanent communications, mobile posts are easily connected to any available source of water and chemicals, which reduces the need for additional infrastructure and makes the process more convenient and faster.

Lower installation and maintenance costs

Thanks to the ease of installation, mobile foam posts help to reduce the initial installation costs of equipment and do not require large investments in infrastructure. In addition, mobile posts require less maintenance, as they are easy to move around for routine inspection and repairs. This reduces the overall cost of operating and maintaining the equipment in the long run.

The use of mobile foam stations in multi-zone food processing plants helps optimize the cleaning process, increasing flexibility and reducing operating costs. These advantages make mobile systems a popular solution for meeting strict hygiene requirements and improving the overall efficiency of the enterprise.

Mobile foam posts in practice: how and where they work

Mobile foam posts are widely used in the food industry, especially where production areas require regular and prompt cleaning of the water. Let’s look at examples and situations in which mobile systems show their advantages.

01 Meat processing plants
At meat processing plants, mobile foam posts allow you to quickly switch between different zones, including cutting, packaging and storage areas. These areas require regular and intensive cleaning to prevent bacterial contamination and ensure product safety. Mobile posts provide rapid disinfection of each area as needed, reducing downtime and maintaining a high level of hygiene.

02 Dairy and cheese production facilities
Dairy companies face high demands for cleanliness due to the rapid growth of microorganisms in dairy products. Here, mobile foam stations help ensure thorough cleaning of equipment and premises where various products(milk, yoghurts, cheeses) are produced, which require a separate approach and specific disinfectants. The ability to easily move posts between different production lines makes them a convenient solution for dairy companies, allowing them to monitor hygiene without long downtime

03 Bakeries and pastry shops
In bakeries and confectionary industries, where a lot of dust and residue is generated during product processing, mobile foam posts help to quickly process surfaces and equipment, maintaining cleanliness in different areas of production. This is especially important in the context of constant batch changes, when it is important to maintain hygiene standards without long-term interruptions of the production process.

04 Production sites with temporary loading
Some enterprises have temporary areas that are only used periodically, or areas where temporary work is carried out, such as packaging or sorting goods. For such areas, mobile foam posts are an ideal solution, since there is no need to install permanent stationary posts. Mobile equipment can be used as needed and easily moved to any desired location.

05 Areas with a high flow of personnel and hard-to-reach areas
In areas with heavy personnel movement or temporary use of equipment, mobile foam posts offer an undeniable advantage. They allow rapid disinfection of areas that are difficult to equip with a stationary system, such as narrow corridors, storage areas and temporary areas, which helps prevent cross-contamination and maintain high hygiene standards.

Many companies that have implemented mobile foam stations report significant improvements in cleaning quality, reduced downtime, and overall disinfection costs. For example, at one of the meat processing plants, the transition to mobile posts allowed reducing the time spent on processing equipment and premises by 20%, which significantly reduced operating costs. User reviews emphasize the ease of operation, as well as the cost-effectiveness of using disinfectants, since mobile posts make it possible to accurately adjust their supply depending on the volume and nature of the treated area.

How to choose a mobile foam post for your company: practical tips

When choosing a mobile foam station, it is important to take into account the specifics of your company, so that the equipment meets not only hygiene requirements, but also contributes as much as possible to the efficiency of production processes. Let’s look at the key parameters that you should pay attention to when choosing the equipment.

Tank capacity and volume

Hardware performance is one of the main criteria for choosing a product. Estimate the volume of the work area and the frequency of processing to determine the optimal capacity of the post. For large enterprises with a high load, it is worth choosing foam posts with a large tank for detergent and disinfectant, as well as with high productivity, so that processing takes a minimum of time.

Ease of movement

One of the advantages of mobile foam posts is their ability to move between security zones. Make sure that the selected post is equipped with high-quality wheels that are resistant to mechanical damage and chemical influences. The wheels must be maneuverable, which will allow personnel to easily transport the post even in hard-to-reach places. You should also pay attention to the presence of brakes or retainers, so that the equipment remains in place when using the car.

. Resistance to chemicals and operating conditions

Foam posts used in the food industry must be resistant to aggressive chemicals used for disinfection, as well as to changes in temperature and humidity characteristic of industrial areas. It is recommended to choose equipment made of stainless steel or other materials that are resistant to corrosion, so that it will last for a long time and maintain efficiency even under intensive operation.

Versatile and compatible with a variety of detergents

For multi-zone plants, where treatment may require different means depending on the type of contamination, it is important to choose mobile posts that support working with different disinfectants and detergents. This expands the capabilities of the equipment and allows it to be used effectively in any service area.

Ergonomics and ease of use

The equipment should be convenient for the staff, because the speed and quality of cleaning the equipment depends on it. Pay attention to the ergonomics of the design: the ability to easily adjust the supply of detergent, the presence of convenient handles for transportation, simplicity and ease of operation of the device. The foam station should be intuitive to use, which minimizes staff training time and reduces the risk of errors when using the system.

Maintenance and availability of spare parts

Choose equipment that does not require complex and frequent maintenance. Check the availability of spare parts and consumables on the market so that they can be easily replaced if necessary. Equipment with simple and easily accessible components reduces downtime and repair costs.

Mobile foam stations have become indispensable for food companies that strive to maintain a high level of cleanliness and hygiene at the lowest cost and maximum flexibility. Thanks to their ease of movement, ease of use and resistance to aggressive disinfectants, they are suitable for multi-zone production where rapid and regular disinfection is required in different areas of the plant. This approach to cleaning not only optimizes work processes, but also helps to reduce operating costs, increasing the overall efficiency of the enterprise.
