When do you need a washing machine?
A sanitizer footbath or mat reduces microbial load, not visible soiling. When boot soles carry organic residue such as blood, tissue, fat or mud, mechanical cleaning must come first — otherwise the sanitizer cannot reach beneath the residue. Washing machines remove that residue during passage with brushes and pressurized water-detergent.
Product family
- YSC-5 — Fully automatic boot washer: sensor-controlled, 2 horizontal + 3 vertical motorized cylindrical brushes wash the sole and side surfaces together.
- YSB-2 — Fully automatic sole washer: sensor-controlled, continuous-pass sole cleaning with 2 horizontal motorized cylindrical brushes.
- YOC-3 — Compact boot washer: plug-in and portable; cleans one foot’s sole and side with 2 vertical + 1 horizontal motorized brush.
- YOB-1 — Compact boot washer: plug-in and portable; cleans one foot’s sole with a single horizontal motorized brush.
Selection criteria
- Surface to clean: sole only, or boot sides too (vertical-brush models for the sides).
- Placement: a fixed inline installation or a plug-in portable unit.
- Used with a barrier or standalone — a washing machine often complements a hygiene barrier.
Where are they used?
Washing machines are used most in meat-and-poultry, seafood and food plants with heavy organic soiling. Because the rotating brushes and detergent create constant abrasion, the body and brush mounts are built in AISI 304 stainless steel; they stay hygienic under continuous water and organic load.

Common questions about washing machines
A boot washer or a brush hygiene barrier?
A brush hygiene barrier provides a controlled hygiene crossing on a single line; a boot washer, by contrast, is for washing boots separately from the controlled crossing. For example, in a hygiene zone you place a boot washer at the entrance, washbasins in the middle and a hand-disinfection turnstile at the exit for end-to-end hygiene.
Does the washing machine use detergent?
Yes. Models spray detergent together with water or run a detergent pump; mechanical brushing combined with detergent breaks down organic residue on the sole and sides. The disinfection step can be handled separately at the barrier.
Is there a portable model?
Yes. The YOC-3 and YOB-1 are plug-in and compact; they can be used at different entry points without a fixed line installation. For busy, fixed crossings the YSC-5 or YSB-2 is more suitable.
