A hand washing machine is an essential piece of equipment in any industrial setting, where hygiene is a top priority and non-compliance can lead to serious consequences. Choosing a trusted sanitation equipment manufacturer is critical. With a tradition spanning over 250 years, we understand industry standards, regulatory compliance, and the demands of modern manufacturing, making us a reliable partner in safeguarding your operations.
When selecting a manufacturer, it’s essential to ensure they have the resources and infrastructure to produce at scale without compromising on quality. Precision engineering and scalability are critical factors. NIEROS® hygiene systems are custom-designed to meet the specific requirements of each facility, ensuring both effectiveness and efficiency.
Implementing a hygiene station is a strategic decision that should not be taken lightly. For optimal performance, it must be installed at the correct location within the workflow; otherwise, its effectiveness is significantly reduced. Choose a supplier that prioritizes research and development, as this reflects a commitment to innovation, continuous improvement, and long-term reliability.
What are the hidden advantages of implementing a hand washing machine?
Hygiene systems are much more than a basic requirement. In industrial environments where cleanliness, health, precision, and safety are critical, these systems establish productivity, brand credibility, wellbeing, and operational effectiveness. Food processing and pharmaceuticals are just two industries where cross-contamination can have serious consequences. A hygiene station is a vital control point, preventing bacteria, harmful pathogens, viruses, and germs from entering the sterile zone.
The station must be at the entry or exit point. Rigorous hand-washing protocols establish safety and stability while reducing absenteeism and health-related downtime. Safety in industrial surroundings is essential and is provided by an interlocking system of protocols, controls and behaviours. By installing a hand washing machine in specific areas, the possibility of contamination is reduced. It is highly effective, easy to maintain, cost-efficient, and swift to proceed. With its implementation, businesses can ensure high hygiene standards, long-term success, and enhanced productivity.
Hygiene systems successfully manage entry and exit point sanitation protocols
A hand washing machine is a solution ensuring optimal hygiene upon entering a production area. Hand-washing helps personnel and facilities meet the required hygiene standards, including NSF, HACCP, and IFS. Our solutions combine hand hygiene control, washbasins, accessories, and walk-through brush cleaners. They also have a drip-off zone, Dyson Airblade™ dryers, and a turnstile control system. Together, they motivate the personnel to use them correctly.
The hygiene protocol begins with adequate soaping, thorough rinsing, and proper disinfection. This carefully designed process encourages personnel to follow each step correctly, minimizing the risk of improper sanitation. Turnstile-controlled access ensures that only individuals with properly cleaned hands can enter, reinforcing compliance and maintaining hygiene standards. Facilities can choose from a broad range of hygiene systems made of premium stainless steel.
Our ergonomically designed hygiene station is a modular unit that combines multiple functions in one. It works well for hand-washing and footwear cleaning. Sensitive production areas must maintain impeccable hand and boot cleanliness, which is additionally guaranteed by hygienic design with a smooth surface finish.
Sensor or knee-activated hygiene stations are more hygienic
A hygiene station provides a safe access to the sensitive areas. It can be self-standing, floor-mounted or wall-mounted. To establish optimal sanitation practices, the station can be sensor-operated or knee-operated. One of the most popular basic designs for production lines with limited space is the URK station. It has high access frequency, allowing 10 to 15 people to pass through (5 seconds per person), and operates digitally. It includes an automatic hand disinfection unit, illuminated sanitisation chamber and a walk-through footwear brush cleaner. It is height adjustable and can connect to personal card readers or a centralised chemical supply.
The HC XL sanitation station is suitable for large production areas where a considerable number of personnel enter and exit per shift. With two automatic disinfection units, two walk-through footwear brush cleaners, and three vertical brushes for cleaning both sides of the boots, it is incredibly efficient, allowing 20 to 30 people to pass per minute.
Hand washing machines are made of premium stainless steel DIN 1.4571 (AISI 316L), DIN 1.4404 (AISI 316Ti), while turnstiles are made entirely of stainless steel DIN 1.4301 (AISI 304). At NIEROS®, we offer a wide range of add-on units to combine with the basic models.
Hygiene systems improve safety in high-traffic areas
A hygiene station must comply with the highest hygiene standards, withstand frequent use and varying environmental conditions. A robust construction and superb materials guarantee longevity and consistent performance. Each facility is different and has various needs, which is why the equipment should be tailor-made.
Our customised solutions are designed for easy on-site assembly and can be adapted to various electrical power distributions. All equipment is produced in-house, ensuring consistent quality and reliable performance. Engineered with sustainability in mind, our systems help reduce power consumption, minimise waste, and lower the overall carbon footprint. A handwashing machine from NIEROS® represents the result of continuous innovation and professional expertise. We are committed to providing our clients with the latest technology and cost-effective, environmentally responsible solutions.
