The threat of the bird flu virus has led to many companies within the agricultural and animal industries drastically rethinking their hygiene regulations.
Morclean can help by providing cleaning equipment for machinery and storage facilities such as barns, chicken coops, animal holding pens etc. A hot water pressure washer unit used with the appropriate cleaning agent would be ideal to ensure a sterile environment.
Morclean have recently provided pressure washer units and offered technical expertise to a newly refurbished cattle market in the UK.
On a larger scale you may also wish to clean and decontaminate your agricultural machinery and vehicles used to transport livestock. Morclean have had many years of experience in the installation of wash bays, wheel wash, jetters, interceptors, and many other industrial cleaning products. Water reclaim systems can be provided to deal with the dirty water from washing these machines according to the legislation stipulated by the environment agency.
Please note: these water reclaim solutions are bespoke items and you will need to discuss your requirements with our water reclaim specialist.

The Health and Safety Executive provide information on controlling the risk of exposure to BSE. Their recommendation is that water pressure should be as low is practical but not more than 500 psi.
Morclean also offer this solution in a mobile form to sterilise the most hard to reach areas. Our pressure washers can be trailer mounted, skid mounted or fitted into a van or small works vehicle.
Morclean also offer a wide range of accessories and attachments for our pressure washers.
Vapour steam machimes can be used to clean and sterilise the abattoir without the use of chemicals.
Animal Feed
Animal feed if left out in the open attracts rats, mice, birds, and other vermin and decomposes creating a major hygiene problem.
Feed hygiene regulations will apply to all businesses that make, use or market animal feed. This includes most livestock and arable farms that grow, use or sell crops for feed use.
The Food Standards Agency provide advice and guidance on these regulations.
A Morclean vacuum system could be used to collect any excess feed. Our vacuums have a wide range of accessories i.e crevice nozzles - for the hard to reach areas, bent nozzles, crushproof hoses, and many more.
A Morclean pressure washer can be used to sanitise troughs, feedtrays, pallets, yards etc, to avoid contamination and ensure hygiene standards are adhered to.
For even greater flexibility, the vacuum could be mounted onto a back pack system and we also have mobile pressure washer systems to ensure access to restricted areas.
Butchers
All retail butchers now have to comply with the new EC hygiene regulations that apply to all other retail and catering businesses. For further information on these regulations please visit the Food Standards Agency Website.
Butchers equipment must be totally sterile as just a tiny deposit of blood left on equipment will quickly cross contaminate. The microorganisms in blood are very quick to decompose and could cause food poisoning.
Vapour steamers are ideal for cleaning food preparation areas as they don't require hamful chemicals and the high temperature that they operate at (up to 185 degrees) eradicate the microorganisms or bacteria and remove tough residues.
Dairy
The production of dairy products such as cheese, yoghurt, milk etc have to comply with strict hygiene laws.
All equipment has to be meticulously cleaned between batches to ensure that no impurities are left inside. Vapour steam cleaners are ideal for
