Hygiene and Changing Room Solutions
Maintaining strict hygiene in food and beverage processing environments starts well before production begins. The cleanliness of employees, clothing, and footwear plays a major role in contamination prevention. Equipping changing rooms with proper changing room equipment, such as boot and welly racks, boot washers, clog washers, and automated hygiene stations, helps ensure personnel enter the production area free from contaminants.
Sanicore Systems provides thoughtfully designed hygiene and changing room solutions that help enforce sanitation protocols, streamline employee movement, and meet food safety standards. Our systems are durable, efficient, and tailored to the unique demands of food processing facilities.

Important Considerations When Choosing Hygiene and Changing Room Equipment
When selecting equipment for changing and hygiene zones, it’s important to think through your facility’s layout, processes, and risk levels. Key factors to consider include:
- Number of employees entering and exiting production areas per shift
- Footwear sanitation needs – manual or automated boot washer and clog washer solutions
- Storage space and drying requirements for boot and welly racks
- Hand hygiene control – manual wash stations or automated hygiene stations with access control
- Workflow design that promotes one-way personnel movement to prevent cross-contamination
- Ease of cleaning and sanitizing the equipment itself
- Compliance with relevant food safety standards and inspection readiness
- Customization to match your floor plan and available space
Applications for Hygiene and Changing Room Systems
Properly equipped hygiene and changing rooms play an essential role in supporting safe food production. Common applications include:
- Meat and poultry processors using walk-through boot washers and hand sanitation stations at facility entry points
- Bakeries outfitting changing areas with boot and welly racks for organized storage and drying
- Dairy operations requiring clog washers to sanitize footwear used across multiple zones
- Beverage facilities integrating touchless hygiene stations to reduce contamination risk from manual contact
- High-care and allergen-sensitive zones where gowning, footwear changes, and hygiene checks are mandatory before entry
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the benefit of using an automated hygiene station?
A: Automated hygiene stations reduce the risk of human error in sanitation routines. They often include access control features that only allow entry after proper hand and boot sanitization.
Q: How do boot washers and clog washers differ?
A: Boot washers are designed for full-height boots, often featuring walk-through systems. Clog washers are more compact and ideal for cleaning lower-profile footwear like work clogs or safety shoes.
Q: Can hygiene room equipment be customized for small spaces?
A: Yes, many systems are available in compact or modular formats that fit into tight changing room areas without compromising hygiene protocols.
Q: Do welly racks help with drying as well as storage?
A: Yes, some boot and welly racks include integrated air-drying systems or are designed for quick drainage to prevent moisture buildup and microbial growth.
