How Much Does a Central Cleaning System Cost?
The price of a Central Cleaning System depends on many parameters that contribute to the final cost of the entire solution.
Such a purchase can be compared to assembling a sophisticated vehicle with many available components. The engine, or the main heart of the system, is a pressure-boosting pump, and the wheels can be considered Satellite Stations used for applying chemical agents to surfaces and rinsing. To these basic components, we add the body, or the device housing, and additional equipment such as a frequency converter, LCD screen, hoses, lances, etc.
In such a vehicle, the chassis will be the piping of the facility, i.e., the pipe system distributing water and compressed air to individual satellite stations. Central Cleaning System manufacturers usually can recommend proven installers specializing in piping assembly.
At the final stage of investment planning, it is worth knowing the layout of the stations, as this facilitates bringing the installations to the appropriate places, although it is not necessary.
First Steps.
One of the first steps to take before obtaining an estimate for a Central Cleaning System is to determine the number of Satellite Stations that need to be installed in the facility to enable access to all areas that must undergo cleaning and disinfection processes.
Consider choosing between stationary or mobile stations, which can be freely moved around the facility and connected to connection points in different parts of the facility.
Each of these solutions has its advantages and disadvantages, which we explain here - CLICK
In this text, we focus on stationary stations.
Selecting Satellite Stations SR.
Knowing the number of stations, you should choose their type (SR 25-1 SR 25-2, SR 25-2P - for systems with local chemistry, we wrote about centralized chemistry systems here - CLICK ) and depending on your needs, the amount of chemical agents used for cleaning and disinfection, more information here - CLICK, then you need to determine how many of these stations will operate simultaneously during the cleaning and disinfection process of the facility. This knowledge will help determine the necessary pump power to supply water at the appropriate pressure to all satellites.
Choosing a pressure boosting pump.
After determining the above issues, you can proceed to the pump selection option, or a pump set and additional components. Pumps, in addition to power, which we determine based on the number of stations, are also available in two options: on a frame and in a housing - we wrote about the differences here - CLICK
INFO: If the company plans to expand the facility in the future, it is worth considering purchasing a more powerful pump that will handle a larger number of stations.
After choosing the "body" version, you need to decide on the support systems for the pump operation. The pump can work independently, but the use of an inverter or a soft start system may affect its smooth operation. We wrote about the differences and advantages here - CLICK
Selecting the remaining components.
After determining the above priority issues, you can move on to the other issues, which are also extremely important, and their proper selectionwill have an impact on the optimal use of the Central Cleaning System.
In the following steps, you need to decide on the hose used for the cleaning and disinfection process. The hose can be mounted on a self-retracting reel or on a hose hanger. We compare both solutions here - CLICK
Depending on the demand, you can choose a hose with a synthetic braid - CLICK , or a steel braid - CLICK
Another aspect concerns the type of nozzle used for rinsing, applying disinfectant, and foam. You can choose dedicated lances for each process or trigger-activated guns. More information on this topic:
Another aspect is the chemical container baskets. Depending on the station, you need to decide whether the basket will accommodate two or one chemical agent. Baskets are also available in two versions: open, with free access, and closed, which requires a key to replace the container. - CLICK
Bonuses – An LCD screen can be used in the pump, which facilitates parameter setting and monitoring its operation. Additionally, a GSM module can be installed, which allows remote verification of operation and, in some cases, remote connection to the service to eliminate or diagnose problems with its operation. More information on this topic can be found here - CLICK
Installation and Commissioning.
It is also essential to consider the assembly and commissioning of the entire system. The pump and Satellite Stations can be installed by a professional service or the client's technical department. However, we always recommend that the initial commissioning is conducted by the manufacturer's employee, who will verify the proper operation of individual components and provide training on their use.
During the training, the manufacturer's representative will explain the principles of operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the Central Cleaning System. It is crucial to ensure that the system is used correctly and efficiently, to maximize its potential and extend its service life.
Training staff to operate the Central Cleaning System.
An extremely important aspect is conducting introductory training for employees who will carry out the cleaning and disinfection process at the facility. Professional training will help eliminate future system damage resulting from improper use and facilitate the proper setting of chemical concentrations.
Summary.
As you can see, providing a single price for a Central Cleaning System is not possible, as there are too many variables affecting its final amount. Even providing a price range could mislead interested parties. Bearing in mind these complex issues, our Hygiene Advisors are prepared to guide you through the entire process of gathering the necessary information for a quote. However, we would appreciate you familiarizing yourself with the provided information, which will allow both us and you to gain confidence that the chosen solutions and our proposal are the answer to your company's needs.
In conclusion, the cost of a Central Cleaning System depends on many factors, including the number and type of Satellite Stations, the pump's power and features, and additional equipment such as hoses, lances, and control systems. The final price will also depend on the installation and commissioning of the system. To get an accurate quote, it is essential to consult with the manufacturer and provide detailed information about your facility and specific cleaning needs.
In conclusion, it is worth mentioning that our experts help select the appropriate number and distribution points for satellites. If necessary, we can also design the piping on a DWG plan of the facility, and at the end of the entire process, carry out installation, commissioning, and staff training.
Remember that investing in a well-designed and efficient Central Cleaning System will not only improve the overall cleanliness and hygiene of your facility but also contribute to a safer and more productive working environment for your employees.
