Washable castor wheel cover

He added: “I have worked in food safety for nearly 40 years and have identified wheels to mobile equipment as an issue both in being clean and being capable of being cleaned due to their design. I have brought prosecutions against food businesses where dirty wheels have been part of the overall problem.

“The general requirement within European food safety legislation requires a food premises to be kept clean and maintained in good repair and condition.

“During routine inspections I will ask how a business goes about cleaning and maintaining the wheels and often I am met with 'well we try our best but they are not easy to clean'."

Commenting on Silicone Hygiene's latest castor wheel, he said: "“This new design looks to have solved the problem by encasing the wheel with a removable and washable cover. If used correctly and included within a cleaning schedule they can be removed daily/weekly put through the dishwasher and placed back on the wheel in a matter of minutes.

“This seems to be a simple solution to overcome a cleaning problem not only in the food industry but any sector where mobile equipment is used. The design has also encompassed a wheel scraper to remove debris that has built up on the wheel during movement.”

Nick Davis, creator of Silicone Hygiene’s Castor Wheel Cover, added: “The cover is now a completed project designed for a cost-effective manufacturing process with a marketing programme, a motivated sales force and a resilient client base.

“40 years of experience has led me to conceive and develop the entire project and offer it as a turn-key income stream. An independent review of the markets with forecast sales of 94bn+ units worldwide.

“I will be attending trade shows throughout the year with the prototype for exhibitors or visitors to evaluate, including the International Food & Drink Event and The Cleaning Show at the ExCel and The Health & Safety Event at the NEC.
