Low pressure cleans with a high flow of water instead of force. It spreads less dirt and aerosol across the room, protects the equipment and uses less water and energy.
Food factory
cleaning.
Hygiene you can document. Low pressure cleaning for every area of the plant, from the production floor to the tanks.
One standard.
Every area of the plant.
Food safety starts with surfaces that are clean every time. Our systems make the right result the easy one.
Less risk of contamination
Low pressure keeps water, dirt and bacteria from spraying across the room onto clean surfaces.
A routine you can document
The same steps and correct dosing every shift support your HACCP plan and the requirements of EFSA and local authorities.
Gentle on equipment
Low pressure protects seals, bearings and electronics, so machines last longer.
Three ways to build a system.
A Foamico system has two parts: a central unit that delivers pressurised water, and the Satellites where the cleaning happens. How you combine them depends on the size of the production and on how you want to handle chemical.
Main Station with Satellites.
One central unit with a pump supplies pressurised water to the Satellites. Chemical is dosed locally at each Satellite.
Up to 9 simultaneous users
Booster with Satellites.
At larger scale the Booster is the pressure source, and each Satellite doses its own chemical.
Up to 36 simultaneous users
Pre-diluted system.
The chemical is mixed once in a Mixing Station, which can sit in a plant room, so no chemical is present in production.
Up to 25 simultaneous users

The cleaning routine.
The same four steps every shift, on one handle. The station takes care of pressure, dosing and air.
Pre-rinse
Loose soil is rinsed off with water at low pressure, so the chemicals work on what is left.
Water only
Foam
Foam is applied from the bottom up and clings to the surface, also on vertical equipment.
Chemical 1
Dwell
The foam is left to work for a few minutes. No scrubbing, no high pressure.
5 to 15 minutes
Rinse and disinfect
A final rinse, and disinfection where the process requires it.
Chemical 2 or 3
Acid wash
An acid foam replaces the alkaline one. It dissolves the limescale and mineral film that daily cleaning leaves behind, so surfaces stay smooth and easy to clean.
1–2×per week

Products for food factory cleaning.
Stationary, mobile and automatic systems on one platform, chosen area by area.
Main Stations
Wall-mounted stations with a built-in pump that supply themselves and connected Satellites.
Satellites
Cleaning points for rinsing, foaming and disinfection, supplied by a Main Station or Booster.
Automatic systems
Fixed nozzles and a programme that clean conveyors, fillers and freezers on their own.
Service that
keeps you running.
Our equipment is built to be low maintenance and easy to service. The block, the main part of every station, can be swapped in minutes, so cleaning never waits for a repair.

Why low pressure in a food factory?
Does it support our HACCP plan?
Yes. A fixed routine with the same steps and correct chemical dosing every shift makes the result repeatable and easy to document.
Can we combine stationary, mobile and automatic?
Yes. All Foamico solutions build on the same platform. Use fixed Satellites in production, Mobile Units where you need flexibility and automatic cleaning on conveyors.
We visit the plant and map the cleaning areas, the water supply and the chemicals. Then we propose a layout, before anything is ordered.
