Quality and compliance for professional hygiene environments
Different production environments create different cleaning challenges.
Residues, surfaces, access points, hygiene zones and production methods can vary significantly between industries, which means cleaning equipment should be selected around the actual environment in which it will be used.
Our industry approach helps businesses identify suitable professional cleaning and handling equipment for specific production settings, supported by FBK’s experience in colour coding, food safety and specialist hygiene applications.
FBK publishes dedicated industry guidance for bakery, beverage, dairy, seafood, meat and kitchen environments, providing recommended hygiene solutions for different production settings.

Food contact compliance
For relevant food contact applications, our equipment and tools are supported by EU Declaration of Compliance documentation, together with appropriate technical specifications.
Our colour coded hygiene equipment is also manufactured using raw materials that are FDA approved. FBK
This information helps hygiene, quality and procurement teams assess equipment according to its intended application and supports internal food safety and compliance processes.
Product specifications vary across the range, so the relevant information should always be reviewed when equipment is selected for a particular use.
Colour coded hygiene
FBK offers a broad colour range across cleaning equipment, food handling tools and storage solutions, allowing facilities to create systems suited to their own production areas, processes and hygiene requirements. FBK states that its equipment and tools are supplied with appropriate food-contact documentation and technical specifications, and that its raw materials are FDA approved. FBK
A structured colour system can support better visual identification, stronger equipment separation and improved control over cross contamination.
Materials selected for professional use
Material selection has a direct impact on how cleaning tools perform in demanding environments.
Across the FBK range, product specifications may include materials such as virgin polypropylene and Polyester PBT filaments, with different filament lengths, thicknesses and stiffness levels selected according to the intended application.
Professional users should consider factors such as:
- Surface type
- Cleaning method
- Filament stiffness
- Temperature requirements
- Chemical exposure
- Colour coding
- Food contact requirements
- Detectability
Colour coded hygiene
Colour coding provides a clear visual method of separating equipment according to production areas, hygiene zones, processes or cleaning tasks.
Our broad colour range allows facilities to develop systems around their own operational requirements.
A structured colour system can help:
- Improve tool identification
- Support cross contamination control
- Reinforce hygiene zoning
- Reduce the risk of equipment being used in the wrong area
- Improve organisation
- Support more consistent hygiene procedures
01
Detectable equipment for additional product assurance
Standard cleaning equipment is not suitable for every environment.
Our specialist ranges include resin set brushware for applications where additional filament retention is required, as well as waterfed cleaning systems for situations where water needs to be delivered directly to the cleaning area.
These options allow hygiene teams to select tools according to the specific cleaning process and level of control required.
02
Specialist equipment where the application demands more
Standard cleaning equipment is not suitable for every environment.
Our specialist ranges include resin set brushware for applications where additional filament retention is required, as well as waterfed cleaning systems for situations where water needs to be delivered directly to the cleaning area.
These options allow hygiene teams to select tools according to the specific cleaning process and level of control required.
03
Technical support when you need it
Standard cleaning equipment is not suitable for every environment.
Our specialist ranges include resin set brushware for applications where additional filament retention is required, as well as waterfed cleaning systems for situations where water needs to be delivered directly to the cleaning area.
These options allow hygiene teams to select tools according to the specific cleaning process and level of control required.

Confidence starts with the right equipment
Professional hygiene equipment should be selected according to the environment in which it will be used.
By considering materials, food contact requirements, colour coding, detectability and product specifications, businesses can make better informed decisions about the tools that form part of their hygiene programmes.
With manufacturing expertise dating back to 1887, we continue to develop professional cleaning and handling equipment around the practical demands of modern hygiene environments.
