New hygiene legislation and increased concerns about food safety has increased the amount of cleaning processors have to do in plant.
Landa said its LanCom device for industrial pressure washers allows operators to move about, such as up on scaffolding or a ladder, without being tethered to a fixed electrical remotestation.
The device also reduces the cost for remote operation by eliminating the need to run pipe and hard wire electrical connections to a remotestation. Time, labour and energy are reduced because the operator isn't forced to walk back to a remote station or the main pressure washer to turn off the pump, burner ordetergent, the company claimed.
"Using a hand device no larger than a TV remote control an operator can turn the pressure washer on or off, ignite the burner to create hot water, or switch from clear rinse water to soapy wash water simply by pushing abutton," the company stated in a press release. "Moreover, the operator can be as far away as 300 feet line of sight to activate the main pressure washer using the wireless remote device."
The LanCom is being introduced on Landa's VHG line of hot water pressure washers, but will soon be integrated into other models,the company said.
The company's VHG line has 21 models with a flow rate of 2.5 to 8 gallons per minute (GPM) and spray pressures ofbetween 1000 to 3000 PSI. All models are powered by electricity and are heated by natural gas orpropane, Landa said.
