Following positive feedback from two of its biggest UK food-service customers, Kimberly-Clark Professional ™ South Africa has launched the WypAll ® Reach ™ Centrefeed System.

Maintaining food hygiene and food safety standards is crucial for every food-service business and the WypAll ® Reach ™ Centrefeed System has been designed to improve hygiene and reduce contamination. It’s a fully enclosed, one-wipe clean, hygienic

wiping system that helps prevent transmission of food-borne bacteria caused by handling of exposed blue rolls.

The WypAll ® Reach ™ Centrefeed System provides a safer alternative to traditional loose centrefeed blue rolls, where multiple users can handle a roll up to 70 times before it is finished. This creates major concerns in the catering industry where some 80 percent of illnesses are transmitted via our hands.

Renowned for providing 100 percent locally manufactured jetting and vacuum trucks to South African municipalities and contractors, Werner Pumps also caters for smaller businesses, with its Werner trailermounted drain blasters and ultrahigh-pressure cleaners. These units offer an ideal solution for cleaning domestic sewer lines, as well as water sandblasting and pressure cleaning.

“We have been manufacturing these trailers for decades, and like all our other equipment we produce, we can tailor them to meet customer needs,” says Sebastian Werner, MD at Werner Pumps. “They have historically been one of our most popular products because they are more affordable than a truck, easy to transport and able to get into smaller spaces, making it perfect for servicing residential sewers, small municipal operations, or for other domestic jetting applications.”

Trailer-mounted, high-pressure jetting

The drain-blaster trailer units are equipped with diesel-driven, 600-litre breaker tanks and hydraulic hose reels with 120 m hoses, all fitted on highspeed road ordinance trailers. Models available for every need, ranging from 70 litres per minute to 350 litres per minute, with pressure from 130 bar to 205 bar and power from 35 kW to 135 kW.

The high-pressure jetting pumps are available in diesel or electric models and can be skid- or trolley-mounted, depending on customer preference. The diesel trailer-mounted unit features a 153 kW, engine that operates at 1 000 to 2 200 rpm and a 500 l water tank. The electric trolley-mounted model has a 110 kW engine that runs on 380 V OR 525 V, and no tank. Both units have a maximum working pressure of 980 bar and flow rate of 54 litres per minute. It also features pneumatic pressure regulation via remote control, and is perfect for rubber removal, pipeline cleaning, water sandblasting and pressure washing.

Beyond its hygiene and food-safety advantages, the WypAll ® Reach ™ Centrefeed System dispenser has been designed to look professional in all front-of-house areas. The sleek smoked-grey dispenser is small and discrete, looking attractive in any restaurant environment. The dispenser is supplied with a wall bracket to both house the dispenser or transform it into a wall-mounted system – allowing for the most convenient and flexible usage.

Wastage is also a big issue when using undispensed centrefeed blue rolls, as individual users can unwind up to 2.5 metres each time – creating a lot of waste. By using a controlled, single-sheet dispensing system, less paper is used and the WypAll ® Reach ™ Centrefeed System reduces paper consumption and cuts paper waste by over 20 percent.

Infection control and spray system

In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, large-scale surface cleaning and disinfection of hospitals, supermarkets and food-processing facilities is a vital tool in controlling the spread of COVID-19. SEKO offers powerful and effective solutions for easy cleaning and disinfection of extensive areas within a short period of time.

SEKO’s professional spray and foaming system, ProTwin, is a cleaning and sanitising station that automatically mixes and dispenses concentrated chemicals. With a clean and professional appearance, it features built-in hose storage. A detachable foam wand extends usage options.

The ProTwin system is ideal for large food preparation areas and is suitable for the retail, institutional and healthcare markets. Featuring an ergonomic design that is HACCP compliant, ProTwin automatically mixes and dispenses concentrated chemicals through its spray gun, which features an adjustable spray pattern delivering high levels of wet foam.

The central dial selector makes switching between rinse and sanitise functions easy – even with wet gloves. The ProTwin optional foam kit provides unsurpassed dry-foam performance, making the cleaning of high level vertical or difficult surfaces easy.

As businesses start returning to limited operation, the challenge of ensuring that employees adhere to the stringent health and safety regulations as per government and WHO (World Health Organisation) recommendations may take its toll on management. With this in mind, RGM Cranes engineered and developed a hand-sanitiser dispenser that takes the fuss out of uncompromising hand cleanliness.

“During the initial lockdown period, we set our team of engineers and various other contributors the task of developing a hand-sanitising solution that would be cost effective, simple to use and which would ensure that the user would not need to touch the pump lever with their hands,” says Alex Dowling, CEO of RGM Cranes.

The resultant free-standing sanitising station is operated using a durable foot pump that accurately dispenses 4 ml sanitiser, which is above the WHO recommended dose of 3 millilitres. The unit is designed to provide accurately dispensed doses and can be floor mounted, using rawl bolts, to ensure that it remains static during operation. The dispenser is ideal for use in hightraffic areas. The sanitiser dispenser has a number of beneficial features: • Stored inside the unit is a 20-litre sanitiser bottle that requires a lock and key for replacement. This eliminates theft of the sanitiser solution. • Sanitiser-level indicator ensures that the bottle is not allowed to run dry. • Easy to clean. • Dispenser is not limited to hand sanitiser only – may also be utilised for hand-wash stations. • Discounted rates on quantities purchased. “We are happy to discuss customisation of the dispensing units in terms of client branding. We encourage businesses to take proactive action and order their sanitising units in order to ensure the health and safety of their employees,” says Dowling.

• Adjustable spray pattern • Separate, selectable chemical position eliminates risk of chemical crossover • Unsurpassed foam quality when equipped with foam wand • Engineered educators ensure accurate, proportionate dosing, easy to clean and replace • Intuitive ergonomic design for user-friendly operation • 3 functions – spray, foam and rinse up to 50 °C tolerance • Multi-layer hose improves flexibility and is chemical resistant

Robust, foot-operated hand sanitiser

Features:

Professional and fast floor sanitising

In the fight against Covid-19, the infection caused by the coronavirus, the sanitisation of various environments developed into a strategic activity.

Accurate disinfection can eliminate the possible presence of the virus on surfaces.

Visible dirt is removed during the process of cleaning of floor surfaces with a scrubber-dryer, it is then crucial to follow the cleaning exercise with a sanitising process that eliminate the presence of pathogens through the accurate release of specific chemicals. Sanitisation can be regarded as the final step in the process of preparing a safe environment for humans.

It is therefore imperative that sanitisation not be considered as an extraordinary activity but part of a regular cleaning regime, especially in sensitive environments such as food processing, healthcare and educational facilities.

With this in mind, Italian cleaning equipment manufacturer Fimap developed a line of machines for the sanitisation of large areas in order to assist cleaning professionals in the fight against the coronavirus. With a group of nozzles installed at the rear of the BMg Sanitizer, it allows for the even distribution of the disinfectant across the floor surface, leaving the surface sanitised and dry in no time compared to manual applications. The sanitising width or path ranges from 1 to 1,3 metres and with just one tank (50 litres) of disinfectant the machine can cover an area of up to 106 000 square meters. In

addition the BMg’s activity can be checked via Fimap’s My.Machine app.
