Scoops, Dustpans, Buckets, Brushes and Brooms – Quality Hygiene Equipment through Pescatech
Although many companies with large factories or expansive industrial units have migrated towards heavy machinery to clean their floors, the common scoops and dustpans are never far behind. The intrepid little dust collectors can reach into spaces where, quite simply, larger equipment cannot. Ever since Lloyd P. Ray added a wooden handle to a collection plate made of metal back in 1897, scoops and dustpans have become essential tools in every sanitary engineer’s equipment arsenal.
Today’s scoops and dustpans have evolved significantly and are manufactured for specific purposes. They come in all shapes and sizes and are made from a variety of materials. Advances in the tool’s design have seen “flap-tops” attached to the collection plate in some instances and raised, arched handles in others.
Longer-handled upright versions have been introduced so that workers no longer have to bend over to collect substances from the floor, preventing back injury and assisting with occupational safety. They are purpose-produced for applications such as the usual collecting of dust and dirt, but can also accommodate lifting finer products like powder spices and flour or more robustly scooping food slurry and liquid spillage from work area surfaces.
Not all Scoops are created Equal
Scoops and dustpans are produced to accommodate a variety of target markets. From the cheap, economical, domestic cleaning marketplaces and rough and rugged construction sites to the specialised food and beverage industry, where hygiene and sanitation standards demand only the very best quality, colour-coded cleaning utensils.
They are made from many different materials, accommodating these marketplaces according to demand and cost efficiency. For example, cheaper brands for domestic markets would use disposable, brittle, plastic variants, substituting quality for quantity whereas more professional manufacturers would use high-quality, purpose-produced plastics and polypropylene for more sophisticated industries.
No Scooping without Sweeping
Of course, one cannot talk of scoops or dustpans without mentioning brushes, brooms, buckets and mops. Short of cleaning chemicals, these are the fundamental tools that arm janitorial staff all over the world. When procuring these specialised pieces of hygiene equipment in bulk, specifically for food production and related industries, one has to source them at cost-effective wholesale prices. However, when purchasing in large amounts, quantity should never substitute quality.
