Colour Coded Hygiene
Build a colour system around your facility
Colour coding provides a clear visual method of assigning cleaning equipment to different areas, production processes, hygiene zones or applications. A structured colour system can make it easier for employees to recognise which equipment belongs where and support more consistent cleaning practices across a facility.
FBK provides a broad range of colours across its cleaning equipment, food handling tools and storage solutions, allowing businesses to create systems around their own operational requirements. FBK specifically positions colour coding as a way to strengthen food safety and cross contamination control.
A well planned colour coding programme can help:
- Separate cleaning equipment between different areas
- Support cross contamination controls
- Reinforce hygiene zoning
- Improve visual identification
- Reduce the risk of tools being used in the wrong area
- Keep cleaning equipment organised
- Support more consistent hygiene procedures
Colour Coded Hygiene
Build a colour system around your facility
The cleaning requirements of a bakery are not the same as those of a dairy, meat processing facility or beverage plant. Residues differ. Surfaces differ. Access points differ. Hygiene risks differ.
That is why professional cleaning equipment should be selected around the actual production environment.
FBK develops professional equipment specifically for cleaning and handling applications across food and drink, pharmaceutical, chemical and other demanding sectors.
QSR and kitchen hygiene
Cleaning tools for production areas, processing equipment, work surfaces, floors and structured hygiene programmes.
Meat and poultry processing
Professional brushware, squeegees and specialist equipment for demanding processing and washdown environments.
Bakeries
Cleaning solutions for flour, fine particles, work surfaces, machinery and production areas.
Dairy processing
Colour coded cleaning tools for wet processing environments where effective cleaning and equipment separation are important.
Beverage and breweries
Professional equipment for tanks, floors, work surfaces and wet production environments.
Fish and seafood processing
Cleaning equipment for demanding wet processing areas and controlled hygiene programmes.
Pharmaceutical
Professional cleaning tools for environments requiring clearly identifiable, durable and application specific equipment.
Specialist hygiene equipment
Specialist solutions for specialist environments
Some cleaning applications require more than conventional brushware. FBK provides dedicated product ranges for environments requiring additional control, specialist cleaning methods or enhanced product assurance.
01
Detectable cleaning equipment
FBK’s detectable range includes cleaning and handling tools manufactured using metal and X ray detectable materials for facilities where foreign object management forms part of product safety controls.
02
Resin set
brushware
FBK’s resin set brushware uses a two component moulding system in which resin seals around the filament bundles. FBK describes this as providing additional bristle retention while reducing opportunities for contamination to accumulate below the normal sanitisation level.
03
Waterfed
cleaning systems
FBK also manufactures a dedicated waterfed range for applications where water is delivered directly through or to the cleaning tool.

Quality and confidence
Product quality should support your hygiene standards
Cleaning tools are repeatedly used in some of the most demanding areas of a production facility.
That makes material selection, durability, hygienic design and technical documentation important considerations when choosing professional cleaning equipment.
FBK develops its products specifically for professional applications and provides appropriate technical specifications and documentation for relevant equipment. Its colour system documentation also states that its equipment and tools come with an EU Declaration of Compliance for food contact and that its raw materials are FDA approved.
For businesses operating in hygiene sensitive industries, this provides greater confidence when selecting equipment around the operational and technical requirements of the facility.
