Manufacturing & Supply Chain

Hygienic furniture specialist Teknomek has introduced new Dyson Airblade wash trough models that have been developed to reduce listeria risk in food processing facilities. Variants of the product are available to installed into new build developments or retrofitted to any wall.

Sue Springett, commercial manager at Teknomek, says: “We’ve been really pleased with the positive reception to our new ‘Quality meets Quality’ partnership programme since we introduced it at the start of the year. Dyson’s reputation for innovation is globally renowned so it’s a great fit for our best-in-class products.

“We wanted to get the product development right; the thought that’s gone into the Dyson wash trough is readily apparent as soon as you use it. We’ve combined highly considered ergonomics with hygienic thinking, along with our design features to support fast and efficient cleaning.”    

The wall-mounted trough features a deep bowl to minimise air and water turbulence. This means the integrated Dyson Airblade Wash + Dry tap can be used without water being splashed back onto the user’s clothes. The unit unusually features fascia mounted taps for superior listeria management, removing unnecessary ledges where water could pool.  The extended splashback also provides space to fit an infra-red soap dispenser.

The motor can be built within the structure of the wall, a good option for new builds. However, a version with an external motor housed within an add-on box enables the unit to be easily fitted to any existing wall. An optional skirt can be fitted to cover the motor and plumbing. This is tapered inwards so people don’t risk banging their knees when standing at the trough and the integrated panel can be easily removed for regular deep cleans.

The unit is built of hygienic 304 grade stainless steel and offers easy clean sides. The hygienic secret ingress-free wall fixings and sloping top for improved drainage follow Teknomek’s easy-clean design.

Each unit is shipped as a modular kit that comes ready for assembly and installation. It is available with up to three stations as standard and bespoke options are available on request.
