Industrial and food factory cleaning & washdown systems

Maintaining hygiene is a vital process particularly in the food processing, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. This range of high-quality cleaning and disinfection equipment helps businesses meet even the most stringent sanitising requirements.

The equipment in this section is used for the mixing and delivery of liquid cleaning chemicals and water in industrial facilities such as food processing premises where the removal of contaminants such as greases, fats, proteins and other residues is essential. Cleaning is distinct from disinfecting or sanitising and must take place before any disinfecting operations.

Our industrial and food factory cleaning equipment range is designed to meter and mix cleaning chemical concentrates, foaming agents and disinfectants with a suitable water and/or compressed air supply. There is a wide range of products with options for all types of water supply, including high pressure. A compressed air line can be added to enhance foaming action, atomise liquids into fogs, or to boost fluid pressure via air powered pumps.

We supply a large range of innovative products from US company Lafferty Equipment, who have been specialising in manufacturing foamers, sprayers, foggers and dilution control systems for more than 35 years. The company’s products are designed for demanding applications in the food processing, bottling, car/truck washing, agricultural and industrial sectors.

The range of cleaning and washdown systems includes mixing stations, mobile and fixed spraying equipment, washdown guns, conveyor cleaning solutions and compressed air assisted systems. We also supply a range of hand and foot-operated hand sanitising equipment.

Wall-mounted sprayers and spray guns

The following units allow for mixing water and cleaning chemicals either at a wall mounted station or at a gun (compact sprayer). These just need a water supply to work and operate at a wide variety of flow rates.

Information on our different sprayer options can be found by clicking on the product boxes below.

Washdown mixing stations

Mixing stations deliver accurate and reliable mixes of chemical concentrates and mains water. They require no power and no pumps, meaning they are easy to install and simple to use.

Portable compressed‑air foamers

Portable foamers use compressed air and an air‑operated pump to mix and project rich cleaning foam. They are ideal for areas that require flexible cleaning coverage and where mains water pressure varies. These units draw chemical concentrate and water, blend them on demand, and inject compressed air to increase foam volume and coverage — improving contact time and cleaning effectiveness.

Conveyor sanitiser

These units can be mounted on a portable trolley or on a wall and use Venturi action to mix concentrate to deliver a spray to conveyors. They have adjustable arms and nozzles to ensure coverage of variable width conveyors.

The Conveyor-Mate™ 315 sanitiser system is specialised for clean-in-place spray sanitising onto conveyor belts and can also be used as a manual sanitiser. The stainless steel spray arm and nozzle assembly can be permanently or temporarily mounted to the conveyor belt housing or nearby surface. The fully adjustable spray arm extends vertically and horizontally to virtually any position. The unique stainless steel Spreader Nozzle™ creates a wide spray pattern that can be adjusted and rotated to ensure optimal coverage at any angle.

Manual sprayers

For areas which may be hard to reach with more conventional washdown systems, backpack and compression sprayers can be used to spray detergents and disinfectants. They require no power and produce a low impact, wet spray.

Foaming

These systems allow for foaming agents to be introduced to sanitising liquids. Foams result in a longer dwell time and hence will improve the cleaning action. Equipment includes foam delivery lances, foam mixing stations, mobile foaming units, and everything else you will need to deliver effective foam around the factory.

Fogging

These systems fill an area with a very fine sanitising fog. The advantage of using fogs is that they will fill every nook and cranny, ensuring no part of the factory is missed. Equipment includes permanently installed fogging stations for factories and vehicles, and semi-mobile “wheeled” fogging units.

Mobile fogging

For large areas, it may not be practical to have permanently installed fogging systems, so manually operated foggers can be used instead. This equipment includes air-operated fog guns, electrically powered foggers, and petrol engine backpack foggers.
