Hygienic castors versus standard castors

Force Technology - Danish Technological University Center of hygienic design - has also tested our new castors against standard castors. The test illustrates the significant savings in resources and enhanced food safety.

Cleaning process

Tests were made by applying normal cleaning procedures according to Ecolab’s specifications.

• Rinse with water
• Distribute cleaning detergents and rest time
• Rinse with water until visible cleanability is obtained

Enhanced Food Safety

As the test shows, our hygienic castors allow companies operating in the food industry to optimize their cleaning procedures, in addition to improving their environmental profile and food safety in general. 

Minimizes the use of resources

The design of the casters allows easy access for cleaning and minimizes the use of resources such as water, chemicals, and energy consumption.

Prevent cross-contamination

Our hygienic castor is completely clean whereas the standard castor is still very much infected with organic bacteria thereby representing a continuous significant threat to food safety and cross-contamination between production facilities

The design of all traditional castors makes it impossible to clean 100%

However, besides estimated savings in resources of up to 32%, our hygienic castors also solve this issue! As the wash-down test shows, total cleanability can be obtained with the NGI Hygienic castors, whereas standard castors still represent a continuous significant threat, as they are still very much infected with organic bacteria after wash-down.
