Description
Effective Wet Cleaning And Optional Disinfection For Bigger Wheels
The clean zones of the i-aqua series are designed for wet cleaning and disinfection of tires, rollers, wheels and shoe soles. As in the names of the other ProfilGate® series, the “i” is an abbreviation for “Inox steel”. The material is rustproof and therefore ideal for areas with high hygiene requirements, such as those in the food industry.
The stainless steel tanks of the i-aqua series have a medium supply and a drain. This allows water and disinfection medium to be supplied and wastewater to be drained. The medium reaches the treads as it passes over them due to the capillary action of the bristles. In this way, ProfilGate® aqua hygiene sluices help to prevent the spread of germs into high-care areas and to implement hygiene concepts.
We recommend our dosing station for medium supply. It fills the disinfection basin either manually or automatically. This saves time-consuming resharpening and ensures constant optimum disinfection performance.
If required, our ProfilGate® aqua spray model also cleans and disinfects the underside of boxes, pallets and industrial trucks. This is particularly useful when transport equipment and boxes are parked in high-care areas. ProfilGate® aqua spray is hygienic and process-safe because it cleans not only the rollers and wheels, but also the underbody. In addition, the system is integrated into the transport path and cleaning can be individually adjusted.
The stainless steel grate is ideal for access routes travelled by industrial trucks with wide rollers, such as pallet trucks.
Dirt Trap
To prevent dirt from spreading within production and logistics halls, it is collected in a collecting tray under the cleaning mats. Choosing the right tub height depends on three crucial factors:
Requirements: Before making a decision, it must be clear what the site looks like, whether cleaning should take place inside, outside or both, and how wide the passageways are.
Vehicles and frequency: Which vehicles cross the clean-walking zone? Do shoe treads also need to be cleaned? How many crossings are made per day? If the frequency is higher, we recommend using a deeper tray because more dirt can be collected.
Maintenance intervals: The deeper the tray, the more dirt can fit in it and the longer the cleaning interval. This saves you work because the drip trays need to be cleaned less often.
Modular system
The ProfilGate® clean-off zone modules are available in two standard widths, which can be combined individually (see drawing). This means we can adapt them optimally to the requirements of your production and logistics halls.
You give us the dimensions of the entrances and transitions in which you would like to use our clean-walking zones and we will put together the right modules to fit you perfectly.
Of course, we are also happy to personally advise you on site and take the measurements ourselves.
Determining the correct cleaning field length
Based on the evaluation by the Fraunhofer IPA Institute and IBELIN Laboratory, we know exactly at what length our clean-walking zones achieve their optimal cleaning effect. To get a rough estimate of this, you can use the following rules of thumb for planning:
Transport vehicles: At least three tire revolutions are enough to remove 80% of the dirt. This means that the cleaning area should be at least 3 – 4 times the tread of the largest tire circumference to be cleaned.
Shoe soles: To clean shoe soles, each foot with a normal stride length should have at least four to six contacts with the cleaning field.
Of course, the conditions on site play a crucial role in the exact planning. This includes the type of vehicle and dirt, dry or wet cleaning and much more. If you have any questions on the subject, we will be happy to advise you.
