With the development of the times, people have higher and higher requirements on product quality. Especially in food processing, medicine and other industries, hygiene problems are related to the health and safety of the masses. Besides, electronic accessories, new energy and other industries have the most strict control. Because it is related to the performance and high quality of products. Then, according to the needs, it generates the process of removing mud and dirt from shoes and boots soles. The traditional main ways to remove the dust under heavy duty footwear include shoe covers, sticky dust pads, changing shoes, etc.

Traditional dust removal method
However, the disadvantages of traditional dust removal methods are gradually revealed.
Shoe covers
People always use them in dust free workshops for one-time visitors reception. Shoe covers are suitable for a wide range of boot with different size. Even wearing heavy duty or muddy footwear, once visitors wrap them around shoes, there should be no dust. But as we all know, shoe covers are plastic products and are disposable. It is not only easy to abrade and destroys the dust-free environment. Also, replacing them every day is necessary, which causes white pollution. The issue of environmental protection in the current era is an issue that cannot be ignored as a citizen of every global village. Using plastic products as little as possible is conducive to environmental protection.
Sticky mat
First of all, as the number of uses increases, the sticky dust effect becomes worse and worse. This will also easily cause damage to the dust-free environment. Secondly, sticky dust mats are consumables. One mat has its own service life. When a certain range of boot goes through it, we need to change a new one, which causes higher costs.
Change shoes
When we require employees to change shoes by themselves, it’s challenging to manage them first. In case an employee forgets it, it will destroy the dust-free environment. Secondly, it takes a long time and affects the working hours of employees. Also, for big factories, it needs ample space to place their boots and shoes.
Employees make boot wash by themselves.
Employee self-discipline is uneven. And the shoe cleaning effect cannot be controlled, which is inconvenient to manage.
Epoxy resin floor cleaning
Due to a large amount of mud and dirt brought into the production workshop by the boot buddy sole, the ground wear is severe. Therefore, we need to carry out polishing, waxing and other ground maintenance frequently. The cost of refurbishing epoxy floors is extremely high.


Boot cleaning station benefits
In response to the above drawbacks of traditional dust removal methods, Glikon launched a boot cleaning station. It perfectly solves the problem of difficult mud and dirt removal. A one-time investment in a fully automatic walk through boot washer has so many benefits.
Energy saving, environmental protection and emission reduction.

Improve corporate image.
In general, we use the hygiene stations before entering the workshop or office. However, changes brought by using sole washers are not only visible at the entrance but also penetrated all aspects of the enterprise. A clean production area environment can enhance the image of the enterprise in the minds of employees and customers. Equipped with hygiene stations also reflects the company’s high quality requirements for the sanitary environment.

The industrial washing machine can effectively clean the sole. It not only improves the production environment. At the same time, the automatic boot washer decreases the failure and depreciation of machinery and equipment due to dust, ensuring the high quality of products. Moreover, shoe cleaning machines also reduce customer complaints due to product quality problems caused by unclean production.Decrease cleaning costs.
The fully automatic boot washer performs shoe sole cleaning at the entrance. It blocks the way of the muddy footwear to enter the factory. Once the food processing, medicine, clean room or other plants install a boot cleaner machine, they can long term use it. There is no more need to replace sticky mats and shoe covers frequently. Also, the application of automatic walk through system removes the costs of ground coatings maintenance and manual cleaning.Reduce the cost of floor maintenance and replacement.
