Food brushes don't drop bristles
December 1st 2007 The Hill Brush Company has a range of brushes and other cleaning kit manufactured
specifically to clean areas covered by UK and European food hygiene laws
New food hygiene laws have applied in the UK since January
2006 and now more clearly define the duties of food
businesses to produce food safely and to achieve consistency.
Food businesses must have a food safety management system based
on the principal of HACCP-Hazard Critical Control Points.
The Salmon Hygiene Technology range is
constructed to comply with all existing
regulations and HBC says they are reliable, easy
to clean and strong enough to repeatedly endure
testing industrial conditions.
Manufactured to the standards required by the
European Brushware Federation's Charter of
Professional Hygiene Brushware, Salmon Hygiene
Technology brushes are made to last. Where the
security of monofilaments is of particular
importance, Salmon Products has developed an
effective optional improvement in brush filament
retention, where each tuft is stapled into the
brush back with food grade stainless steel
staples, and then epoxy resin is floated into a
recess on the face of the brush. The resin
permeates the bottom of the tuft hole, covering
the filaments and staples as it goes. The resin
seals the face of the brush and makes the
chance of a filament pulling out extremely
remote, and inhibits the accumulation of dirt
or moisture in the tuft holes.
There are also additional specialist ranges including Ultimate
Hygiene - Anti-Microbial which uses an Irgaguard silver based antimicrobial
additive that inhibits the growth of moulds,mildews and
bacteria on the surface of the products themselves.
Another special range is the metal detectable range, which
comprises of plastic hand tools such as scrapers, scoops and shovels.
Food production lines contain metal detection machines, and by
using Salmon Metal Detectable tools, if any part of the tool should
enter the food itself, they would be detected and the contaminated
product quarantined.
The special ingredient used during the moulding process to
produce the metal detectability also gives the products anti-static
properties. Independent tests show they are safe for use in flammable
atmospheres with ignition energies down to 0.25 millijoules.
Available in six colours, there will be additional colours available
mid-2008.Call the number below
