3.6 kg less dirt in 3 weeks

• The industry: Automotive
• The initial situation: The ProfilGate® clean driving zone was installed in the entrance from the outdoor area into the production building. It is mainly driven over by forklift trucks.
• The model: st55 4x4 at ground level
• The result: After three weeks, an emptying was carried out. The brush strips had removed 3.6 kg of dirt from the forklift wheels. This contained dust, moisture, paper, wood and even screws.
   

This is what the inside of the dirt collection trays looked like after three weeks of operation before cleaning.

Here you can see the dirt bags with the amount of dirt that was collected in each lane. As the vehicles drive through the centre of the cleaning area, the largest amount of dirt has been collected in the middle lanes

2.6 kg less dirt in 3 weeks

• The sector: Automotive
• The initial situation: The cleaning field was installed directly at the goods receiving area. When lorries drive up the ramp of the building and employees bring the goods into the building, they have to pass through the clean-off zone with their forklift trucks or pallet trucks.
   

• The model : st55 3x4 at ground level
• The result: 2.6 kg of dirt was removed during the first cleaning after three weeks. This contained residues of dust, moisture, paper and wood.
   

This is what the dirt collection trays looked like after three weeks of operation before cleaning.

In this example, too, most of the dirt can be found in the dirt traps in the middle. The following photo shows the exact distribution of dirt by lane.

5.4 kg less dirt in 16 weeks

• The sector: Mechanical engineering (air conditioning systems)
•  The initial situation: The brush field was installed at the entrance to the assembly area.
• The model: b55 3x2 at ground level
• The result: The cleaning system was emptied every 4 weeks. On average, the ProfilGate® system collected approx. 1.4 kg of dirt in four weeks. The total amount collected during the test period was 5.4 kg.
   

3.9 kg less dirt in 16 weeks

• The sector: Mechanical engineering (air conditioning systems)
• The initial situation: The brush field was installed at the exit from the assembly area.
• The model: b55 3x2 at ground level
• The result: The dirt collection trays were emptied every four weeks. The amount collected varied between a good 700 g and almost 1.5 kg. A total of 3.9 kg of dirt was collected in 16 weeks.
   

4 kg less dirt in 16 weeks

• The industry: Mechanical engineering (air conditioning systems)
• The initial situation: The ProfilGate® cleaning system was installed directly behind the entrance from the outdoor area into the production area.
• The model: b55 4x2 at ground level
• The result: The system was emptied every 4 weeks. Over 4 months, it collects a total of 4 kg of dirt that would otherwise have ended up in the production area.
   

6 kg less dirt in 4 weeks

• The sector: Automotive
• The initial situation: The installation took place internally in the transition from one hall to the next.
• The model: b65 4x5 at ground level
• The result: After four weeks, the dirt collection trays were emptied for the first time. At this point, the system had removed 6 kg of dirt from the operating processes.
   

2.3 kg less dirt in 4 weeks

• The sector: Food
• The initial situation: The cleaning field was installed on the footpath between the production area and the employees' offices. It is not used by vehicles, but only by pedestrians. The "Go" variant was therefore chosen, which was specially developed for this area of application.
• The model: b65 3x4 Go above ground / with ramps
• The result: The system collected an average of 575 g of dirt per week +/- 10 g. By removing dirt from the soles, the need for overshoes was eliminated. This led to savings, as the overshoes for the employees' shoes no longer had to be purchased.
   

95 litres less dirt in approx. 3 years

• The sector: Automotive
• The initial situation: The cleaning field was installed in the entrance to the company car park.
• The model: b65 4x6 at ground level
• The result: The measurement was carried out in litres, so that comparability with other customer evaluations is not entirely given. The field was emptied at irregular intervals. A total of approx. 95 litres of collected waste was documented over almost three years.
   

This is what the field looked like during one of the emptying operations. Dirt has been collected in all the dirt collection trays.

530 grams less dirt in 4 weeks

• The sector: Pharmaceuticals
• The initial situation: The cleaning system was installed internally in the transport route between the warehouse and the packaging room. It was passed by forklift trucks and pallet trucks. The corridor in which ProfilGate® is installed is located near the airlock and is a very clean area.
• The model: b55 3x3 above ground / with ramps
• The result: The result of the first emptying after four weeks was 530 g of dirt that had collected in the system. It contained sand, soil, wood shavings, staples, screws, pins and even pieces of chewing gum packaging.
  The requirements for cleanliness and purity are extremely high in the area of medical products and medicines. Therefore, 530 g of contaminants over 4 weeks is a very good quantity for this sector.
   

This is the exact distribution of the amount of dirt on the individual fields.

11.6 kg less dirt in 13 weeks

• The sector: Automotive
• The initial situation: The ProfilGate® cleaning field was installed in the building in an airlock entrance from the outside to the inside. The ground vehicles that regularly pass through it are tractors, forklifts and trailers.
• The model: b65 4x4 above ground / with ramps
• The result: The system was emptied every week. During this time, between 360 g and 2.4 kg were collected. The evaluation also includes the weather conditions, so that conclusions can be drawn as to the reason for the different results. In the final report, it was also noted positively that there was a recognisable reduction in the amount of dirt ingress up to the last field. In addition, the entry of moisture into the hall is slowed down by the grates, so that puddles no longer form.
   

5.9 kg less dirt in 6 weeks

• The sector: Automotive
• The initial situation: The cleaning field was installed directly behind an external access road in the building.
• The model: b65 4x6 above ground / with ramps
• The result: The dirt was removed from the trays every fortnight. A total of almost 6 kg of dirt was collected over 6 weeks.
   

158 grams less dirt in 4 weeks

• The industry: Mechanical engineering (injection systems for diesel engines)
• The initial situation: The test field was installed at the entrance in front of a clean room. During the test period, mainly people, but also small cars, passed through there. In general, production at this mechanical engineering company is very clean. The cleaning field was installed in the transition from clean production to the clean room with an even higher degree of cleanliness.
• The model: k55 2x3 above floor / circumferential ramps
• The result: Despite the already very high level of cleanliness, 158.5 g of dirt was collected during the four-week test period. This was mainly metal dust, which could be easily collected from the trays using a magnet.
