McCarthyโs Meat Market, a family company located in Cork Cityย and an existingย client, recently expanded their operation significantly by moving into a much larger food production facility. Whilst the new premises had previously been a food production facility, it lacked any integrated cleaning equipment. McCarthyโsย already have a LEVO Washdown Station in theirย existingย facility, so contacted us againย for theirย new premises.
The facility had an existing hot water supply and several hotย waterย drop points. The layout of the facilityย meant that a single LEVO Food Production Washdown Station with a 30 metreย anti-microbialย hose on a retractable reel was sufficient to reach all the food processing areas that required daily washdown, with an integrated booster pump allowing up to 6 bar rinsing pressure, and aย control knobย and quick-release nozzlesย allowing easy switching between rinsing and foaming. We also fitted a lockable chemical barrel cage and all components were food-grade.ย
We also fitted a wall mounted pressure washer unit at the loading bay – allowing the client to clean his vehicles and the bay. This power washerย included an industrialย motor and pump with auto-stop, a 20 metre high pressure retractable hose reel andย low pressure chemical application.
LEVO Food Production Washdown Station Improvements:
The install provides the customer with highly effective washdown and cleaning equipment for his daily cleaning process; keeping cleaning times, energy consumption and water use to a minimum.
The LEVO Food Production Washdown Station isย designed to have as little infrastructural impact as possible. It has a footprint of around 1.0mยฒ, and only requires a water supply andย an electrical supply to operate. Install times typically range from 2 to 4 hours.
The customer reported thatย the swab tests taken around his previous facilityย in which a LEVO is being used had far exceeded the requiredย hygieneย standards set by the local authority. Therefore, a second LEVO for his new facility was an easy choice to make.
