Hygiene at plant entrances is a key factor in ensuring food safety , avoiding cross-contamination and ensuring compliance with internal cleaning protocols. In this context, personal hygiene stations and continuous boot/sole washers have become essential equipment for many food industries.
At Inoxsis we have observed a very significant growth in the sale of this type of solution in recent years, especially in hygiene stations and Inoxsis boot and sole cleaning equipment.
Hygiene at access points: a critical food safety factor
Hygienic access control is one of the points where the food safety of a plant is decided. A single uncontrolled entry can introduce pathogens from dirty areas to clean areas and cause cross-contamination that compromises an entire batch. Hygiene stations and continuous boot washers minimize this risk because they integrate access control within the same hygienic routine: the operator does not pass until the process is complete.
Hygiene stations: a demand in strong growth
Hygiene stations allow personnel to control entry into production areas, ensuring that washing and disinfection processes are followed before accessing sensitive areas.
Sales data show a very positive evolution. In 2025, sales of hygiene stations grew by approximately 43% compared to 2024.
Furthermore, during the first months of 2026, the trend has accelerated significantly: as of today, the sales volume of all of 2024 has already been exceeded and is very close to matching the overall result of 2025.
If the current pace is maintained, the forecast for the end of 2026 points to an approximate increase of 215% compared to 2025.
This growth confirms the growing importance that companies give to hygienic access control and the automation of cleaning and disinfection processes.
Inoxsis continuous boot and sole washer
Inoxsis continuous boot and sole washers are designed to facilitate the effective cleaning of work footwear in demanding industrial environments. Continuous boot washers are particularly useful in plants where personnel enter and leave production areas frequently, and where it is necessary to maintain a high level of hygiene at all times. Unlike manual systems, the continuous boot washer automates the process and avoids downtime at the entrance to production areas.
This type of solution is common in sectors such as the meat, dairy, fish and seafood industries, ready meals, slaughterhouses, food handling rooms and other industrial environments with high hygiene requirements.
Sales of continuous boot and sole cleaners also show a positive evolution. In 2025, this line registered an approximate growth of 26% compared to 2024.
Although the increase is not as pronounced as that of its complementary equipment, the trend is also clearly favorable. If the current pace is maintained, the forecast for the end of 2026 points to an increase of approximately 58% compared to 2025 in the continuous boot washing category.
More control, more security and more efficiency
The incorporation of continuous boot washers and hygiene stations brings direct benefits to production plants.
They ensure that staff comply with protocols before accessing production areas, reduce the risk of cross-contamination and facilitate clearer, more efficient and repeatable hygiene routines.
In addition, Inoxsis’ continuous boot and sole washers are designed for intensive use and to meet the needs of the food industry.
An investment in food security
The evolution of sales confirms a clear trend: companies are increasingly betting on solutions that reinforce hygiene, access control and food safety.
At Inoxsis we offer advice to define the most appropriate equipment according to the type of plant, the number of operators, the input and output flows and the level of hygiene required.
