Entryway foamers should be placed in all critical plant entries. These fully automatic systems replenish a heavy antibacterial foam as needed throughout the shift to keep listeria and other problem pathogens from migrating around the plant.
Entryway foamers use economical Birko Liquik-2® CS for regular applications or Birko Ultra Quat™ for more serious plant problems. Other Birko chemicals may be more appropriate for a specific plant problem.
Birko distributes Lafferty foamers. Use this link for more information on Lafferty Entryway Foaming Equipment. Foamers can be installed by the Birko installation team or by your own maintenance department.
Floor Remediation
Birko's remediation regime for problem floors is a good first step to improving the overall floor sanitation in your plant.
- Rough down rinse with the hottest water available in your plant.
- Foam the floor with a solution of BIRKO SuTec FG™ heavy duty cleaner and Birko 10 Chlor™ in the hottest water available and allow time to work.
- Rinse with the hottest water available.
- Foam the floor with Birko Acid Brite No. 2™ to neutralize the cleaning step and further strip the floor. Allow additional time to work.
- Rinse with hottest water available.
- Disinfect with Birko Ultra Quat™
