Mohn hygiene stations

What is a hygiene station? 25 Years Experience

Hygiene stations prevent the spreading of undesired substances or transmission of germs from the outdoor area into clean production areas.

A personnel hygiene station is a system which has to be installed stationary, in which a specified sequence of various steps is made for the hygiene.

This includes hand cleaning with subsequent hand disinfection of the dried hands as well as a thorough sole cleaning or disinfection. Optionally, a module for boot cleaning is available for the hygiene station.

FIELDS OF APPLICATION FOR HYGIENE STATIONS

Agriculture

Whether in the pigsty or when handling or storing fresh milk: Due to the simple use, forced guidance and the combination of hand and sole cleaning, agricultural operations and production plants are supported in complying with the required hygiene standards.

Fruit and vegetable industry

Personnel hygiene stations are used in the fruit and vegetable industry to minimise contamination of food by employees. These sluices require staff to pass through disinfection and cleaning stations before entering production areas to reduce the risk of germ transfer to fresh produce. As a result, they are instrumental in maintaining high hygiene standards and ensuring food safety in the industry.

Bakeries and industrial kitchens

What is applicable to the processing of foodstuffs, also applies in a similar way to their preparation, particularly if it is carried out on a large scale. For industrial kitchens and (wholesale) bakeries, hygiene stations can thus be a good and right way for the supplementary compliance with hygiene when entering and leaving the workplace.

Foodstuff industry

Whether deep-frozen pizza, sweets, slaughterhouse, or butcher shop – where it is worked with foodstuffs intended for later human consumption, strict hygiene requirements and regulations apply. Hygiene stations are here the right choice in order to ensure a safe, contamination-free workflow which corresponds to the requirements.

Pharmacy and cosmetics production

Also in pharmaceutical production plants and in the production of cosmetics, strict to very strict hygiene regulations have to be complied with. Here the requirements, as with handling foodstuffs, result from the presumed consumption of these products by human beings. In production, all contaminations must be thus excluded and highest standards be complied with.

Packaging industry

Personnel hygiene stations  in the packaging industry for food products such as meat are used to ensure compliance with strict hygiene regulations. They allow employees to put on protective clothing and thoroughly disinfect themselves before entering packaging areas to prevent contamination of food with harmful germs or bacteria. In this way, they ensure food safety and quality standards, which are crucial in this industry.

Greenhouse and horticulture

Hygiene plays a central role in greenhouse operations, as the spread of bacteria, moulds and viruses can easily lead to contamination of the plants. Especially in the case of infection-prone crops such as tomatoes, the effects of such contamination are devastating and can cause significant production losses. In extreme cases, it may even be necessary to evacuate the greenhouses. To effectively counteract these risks, personnel hygiene sluices are often used in greenhouse operations.

Pet food industry

Personnel hygiene stations in the pet food industry are crucial to ensure the highest standards of hygiene. These airlocks are used to effectively counteract the risks of contamination from employees by ensuring that all personnel involved are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before entering sensitive production areas. This helps to prevent contamination in the production of pet food and ensures compliance with legal regulations and quality standards. The use of personnel hygiene stations is thus an indispensable step to ensure product integrity and safety in the pet food industry.


IMPLEMENTATION OF A HYGIENE STATION Stainless Steel

Implementation of a hygiene station | Mohn GmbH

Compact hygiene station Type Check-In-Station III Higline - 1-track, forced guiding personnel hygiene

A hygiene station for your employees and visitors consists in the first place of hygiene components for cleaning, drying and disinfecting hands as well as for the cleaning and disinfection of shoes and boots. Also cleaning of the corresponding working clothes, such as aprons and gloves, for example, can be carried out with it.

Here we distinguish between 3 types of hygiene stations

1. Forced guiding, spatial hygiene stations

Hygiene components planned in a room

2. Forced guiding, compact hygiene stations

Hygiene components combined in a plant

3. Hygiene stations per operating instructions

Small businesses or side entrances

Depending on the size of operation and structural conditions on site, our hygiene specialists design for your requirements a tailor-made hygiene station depending on the following factors:

  • Number of personneltraffic within a certain period
  • Number of shifts
  • Level of pollution
  • Requirements ofthe food regulatory authority in charge
  • Individual operational requirements

In the process, we naturally also see to it whether employees carry work equipment with them and how or by whom cleaning of the hygiene components shall take place.

What has to be observed during planning are also potential transport routes and/or escape routes in the area of hygiene stations. Legally required escape widths are implemented through our specifically designed and fieldtested escape route railing gates or magnetic gates.

These can also be coupled with a fire alarm system or an emergency release device, taking care of the required safety in case of an emergency.

Moreover, paths for the cleaning personnel and their equipment carried along are important. That is why fast and hygienic cleaning of the plant should also be taken into consideration. The more hygienic the design and more practical the design of the hygiene station, the less is the level of pollution and the cleaning effort connected with it.

Due to close cooperation with your food inspector and architect, we bet on needs-oriented and cost-effective possible solutions, because basically, forced guiding hygiene stations cannot be necessarily installed in small businesses.


Important information

When planning and implementing hygiene stations, various factors have to observed. Further information can be found here >>> 


FORCED GUIDING, SPATIAL HYGIENE STATIONS Stainless Steel

Personnel hygiene station type Clean-Check DUO Highline - 2-track, forced guiding hygiene station with hand wash basin, planned within a room.

Ideally, it is about an imperative facility for hygienic cleaning of shoes and washable working clothes as well as for cleaning and disinfecting hands.

Here it is not only a question of existing hand wash basins and disinfection facilities, because there is a compulsion to use the cleaning facilities when passing through hygiene stations.

If this does not happen, the integrated turnstiles will automatically lock the further passage.

The forced guidance of the personnel thus ensures that all steps are carried out in the required sequence and duration.

Furthermore, we use turnstiles for access control which are not released until hand cleaning and hand disinfection and so on have been carried out according to the requirements.

Our sensors installed in the hand disinfection units are outwit-safe. All hygiene components for hand cleaning and hand disinfection can be operated contactless in the process.

In companies with shift operation and thus higher employee traffic at the beginning of a shift, break times as well as at the end of a shift, we recommend to implement the hygiene station within a room in order to prevent personnel congestion on the hygiene components.

Depending on the spatial conditions and the number of employees, this requires a corresponding space, of course.

But it has the key advantage that employees do not get in their way in order to be able to carry out the hygiene procedure without time delays.

Moreover, the way there and back of personnel traffic can be planned and carried out even in two tracks, depending on the space.

FORCED GUIDING, COMPACT HYGIENE STATIONS Stainless Steel

Forced-guided, compact personnel hygiene lock "All-in-One" type check-in station | Mohn GmbH

Check-In-Station III Highline - 1-lane, force-guided personnel hygiene lock with optional, external Siemens Logo control system

Apart from the hygiene station described above, which is forced guiding and planned within a room, we recommend for rooms with confined space conditions or for side entrances, such as driver locks in the delivery area, so-called forced guiding, compact hygiene stations combining all hygiene components in a space-saving way.

These personnel hygiene stations can be frequently found as additional protection for risk minimisation in HIGH-CARE areas, such as slicer rooms.

With this type of hygiene station, the personnel’s way there and back mostly takes place on a single track.

Obligatory sequence within this compact hygiene station:

  • Applying soap from a contactless soap dispenser
  • Cleaning the hands in the hand wash basin by means of contactless sensor operation
  • Drying hands by means of disposable towels or hygienic hand dryers
  • Disinfecting hands by contactless sensor operation
  • Cleaning or disinfecting shoe soles or bootlegs

The compact, forced guiding hygiene station is often used in a modified version, e.g. with merely a hand disinfection unit with an integrated turnstile (turning lock) and sole cleaning unit if a hand wash basin and soap dispenser for hand cleaning are already available on site.

In order to secure forced hand cleaning, an automatic soap dispenser with turnstile is often installed.

By means of red coloured soap agent, for example, “misuse” can be recognised at once if the soap was wiped off at the trouser leg.


Important Information

When planning and implementing compact, forced guiding hygiene stations, two versions are available, depending on their intended use. Further information can be found here >>>


HYGIENE STATION PER OPERATING INSTRUCTION Stainless Steel

Hygiene stations per operating instruction for small businesses, narrow side rooms and corridors | Mohn GmbH

Hygienic-Station Type HS-II and Euroclean Complete Type EC-S - Hygiene stations for small businesses, narrow side rooms and corridors

In contrast to forced guiding hygiene stations, with personnel hygiene stations or hygiene components without turnstiles, the compulsory use is mostly regulated per operation instruction or mandatory signs.

This type of hygiene facilities can be often found in small family businesses or businesses up to 10 employees, where the mutual hygiene education can still take place at eye level.

In small businesses, the hygiene is often in an area, in which a hand wash basin with detergents and disinfectants is provided.

Moreover, disposable protective clothing is handed out there. But also in medium-sized businesses, these hygiene station concepts can be often found with side entrances or small rooms with little traffic of people.

Here it is rather in the form of a hygiene wall with hand wash basin, soap dispenser and disinfectant dispenser as well as a sole cleaning machine which has to be operated manually.


ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES FOR HYGIENE STATIONS Stainless Steel

Hygiene stations are often supplemented to become a total hygiene concept in the form of stainless steel dispensers for disposable clothing such as beard protection, headgear et cetera, as well as facilities for cleaning and disinfecting working tools, such as knife basket cleaning machines

and equipment for cleaning, drying and storing working clothes like aprons, shoes and/or boots, as well as by changing rooms that are physically separated from the hygiene station, in which separation of black and white clothes is ensured.
