Entrance Hygiene Systems
Stopping wheel- and foot-borne contamination right at the entrance to the production area; a passive hygiene system working with cleaning zones recessed into the floor.
Dirt is stopped most easily at the door.
A large share of the dirt in a production area is carried in from outside on forklift wheels and shoe soles. The dirt that gets in turns into cleaning costs, risks to product quality and hygiene findings in sensitive areas. An entrance hygiene system cuts this cycle at its source: recessed into the transit route, the system mechanically cleans every wheel and sole passing over it with its brushes.
The system’s elegance is its passivity: it requires no electricity, no water and no operator; the cleaning happens through the passage itself. The dirt collects in the trays beneath the brushes and is emptied at planned intervals. The key to the right result is the engineering: the zone’s length and layout are defined by the direction of travel, the vehicle types and the dirt load, and the floor installation is made in harmony with the flooring systems.
- Passive operation: Cleaning through the passage itself, with no electricity, water or operator.
- Stopping at the source: Dirt is held in the transit zone before it enters production.
- Engineered layout: The zone’s length is defined by vehicle type and dirt load.
- Installation integrated with the floor: The system is installed flush, in harmony with the floor coating.
At the doors where dirty meets clean.
The system serves at every transition where two cleanliness classes intersect.
Main facility entrances
Stopping outdoor dirt at the building’s entrance.
Warehouse-to-production transitions
Forklift routes from warehouse to production.
Hygiene zone transitions
Class transitions in food and pharmaceutical facilities.
Ahead of cleanroom systems
The last barrier at cleanroom entrances.
Pedestrian entry points
Removing foot-borne dirt with sole brushes.
Quality and test areas

The brush cleans, the tray collects, the floor carries.
The system consists of stainless trays recessed into the floor and sprung brush gratings above them; the transit surface sits flush with the floor.
- Brushed gratingThe transit surface the wheel rides on, carrying the load.
- Sprung brushesThe rows that contact wheel and sole, removing the dirt mechanically.
- Collection trayThe reservoir where the dirt collects, emptied at planned intervals.
- Floor-recessed housingAn installation detail flush with the floor coating, fit for the traffic.
The right series for the traffic.
The system series is selected for the vehicle types, the loads and the hygiene expectations.
Forklift and heavy vehicle series
Systems suited to intensive industrial traffic.
Pallet truck and light vehicle
Series suited to internal logistics traffic.
Pedestrian series
Sole cleaning for staff entrances.
Hygiene-focused series
A build suited to food and cleanroom transitions.
What is expected of an entrance hygiene system.
Cleaning through passage
Cleaning happens during transit, with no extra step.
Energy-free operation
No electricity, water or compressed air required.
Traffic resistance
A load-bearing build suited to forklift loads.
Modular layout
Built up in modules to the width of the transition.
Easy maintenance
Trays are emptied at planned intervals.
A contribution to hygiene
Less dirt is carried into sensitive areas.
As expectations rise, the zone gets longer.
The classification below is indicative only. The final layout is engineered by assessing vehicle types, transit frequency and dirt load.
