Challenge
Inadequately cleaned shoes posed a threat of contamination in premium quality FMCG production units.
Background
Organic Health Drinks, a leading producer of premium beverage products, needed to improve hygiene and safety in their production facilities. They faced challenges with contamination from foot traffic, relying on inefficient and inadequate manual cleaning methods. By implementing Nexgen’s Sensor Operated Sole Cleaning Machine, they achieved significant improvements in contamination reduction, workplace safety, and overall productivity.
Challenges
Contamination Risk
Shoe traffic constantly introduced dirt, debris, and other contaminants into production areas, increasing the risk of product defects.
Inefficient Cleaning
Manual cleaning methods were time-consuming, labour-intensive, and often ineffective in removing all contaminants.
Safety Hazards
Wet floors from manual cleaning created slip and fall hazards for employees.
Inconsistent Hygiene
Reliance on individual cleaning practices led to inconsistencies in hygiene standards.
Solution: Nexgen Sole Cleaning Machine
Nexgen’s Sensor-Operated Sole Cleaning Machine was installed as the solution for these challenges. The machine offered thorough cleaning of shoe soles to remove every piece of contaminant possible.
Automated Cleaning
The machine automatically activates when someone steps onto the platform, ensuring consistent cleaning for every employee.
Thorough Cleaning
High-pressure jets and rotating brushes effectively remove dirt and other contaminants from all angles of shoe soles.
Hygienic Design
Constructed with stainless steel and featuring a self-cleaning system, the machine itself remains clean and sanitary.
Safety Features
