Mop saturation system with 2 x 8L stainless steel buckets
Mop saturation system with 2 x 8L stainless steel buckets from Contec, is a compact and handy mop system for use in cleanroom environments. The stainless steel trolley is designed for use with Contec's QuickTask Mopping systems.
The Contec Mop Head Saturation System has been developed to drastically simplify the cleaning protocol in the cleanroom. This compact system allows for the pre-saturation of mops before they enter the controlled environment. This guarantees a standardised, efficient procedure and minimises the risk of cross-contamination, a core value for every specialist in cleanroom technology.
This system is specifically designed to maximise cleaning efficiency within the constraints of a low-dust environment. The most important operational step is the pre-saturation:
- Controlled saturation: The mops are saturated outside the cleanroom with a precise amount of liquid (1L per 5 Quiltec I mops) A stainless steel disinfectant diffuser tray ensures uniform and complete absorption of the cleaning or disinfectant agent by the mops. This ensures that the correct concentration is applied to every surface.
- Minimisation of contamination: By mounting the mops hands-free onto the easy-fit mop applicator frame and storing the used mops directly and safely in the second bucket, human interaction with potentially contaminated materials is minimised. This is essential for maintaining the highest ISO class requirements.
- Removal of moisture sources: The system eliminates the need to use undefined amounts of water or dilution solutions in the cleanroom, which reduces the risk of surface contamination and the growth of micro-organisms in wet areas.
The system features two 8-litre stainless steel buckets, of which the second bucket is multifunctional: it can be used for the dilution of concentrate or, crucially, for the safe storage of used, saturated mops. This effectively prevents cross-contamination within the cleanroom.
Essential Consumables: Contec Quiltec I Polyester Mops
The efficiency of the system is optimised by the use of the Contec Quiltec I Polyester Mops These consumables are essential for achieving low contamination levels:
- Material structure: The mops are manufactured from 100% 2-ply knitted polyester over a polyester/rayon core. This guarantees an extremely low particle and fibre release, making them suitable for the highest cleaning grades.
- High absorption: The mops have a high absorbent capacity and rapid uptake, which ensures excellent coverage (approximately 20 25 m² per mop) and an even distribution of the disinfectant.
- Validated Quality: The Quiltec I mops are double-bagged and gamma-irradiated at a minimum of 25 kGy. Each batch is supplied with certificates of conformity, allowing you to ensure the required compliance and validation.
| Feature | Transformational Benefit |
|---|---|
| Compact stainless steel system (51x30x25cm) | Requires only a small storage space and is ideal for small to medium-sized cleanrooms. |
| Hands-free mop application | Simple and easy to use; significantly reduces the risk of human-related contamination. |
| Even pre-saturation | Eliminates the need for a heavy wringer system and guarantees a consistent dosage of cleaning liquid. |
| 100% autoclavable construction | Suitable for sterilisation at 121°C; compatible with the most critical cleanroom protocols. |
| Two 8L stainless steel buckets | Prevents cross-contamination by storing used mops separately, or allows for the mixing of concentrates. |
| Contec Quiltec I Polyester Mops | Very low particle and fibre release, essential for the highest cleanroom classes. |
This system is designed for the ‘single-use’ method, where each mop is used once for a specified area of ±20 to 25 m² and then removed hands-free. The recommended process steps include:
- Pre-saturation: The mops are placed in the stainless steel buckets with the diffuser tray outside the critical environment and saturated with the approved cleanroom cleaning solution (such as deionised water, floor cleaner, or a disinfectant)
- Transfer: The saturated mops are transferred to the cleanroom.
- Application: The mops are attached hands-free to the easy-fit mop frame.
- Removal: After completion of the cleaning area, the mop is removed hands-free via the removal system, directly into a waste bag, to prevent contamination transfer.
Material and Compliance: quality that meets ISO requirements
The construction of the Contec Mop Head Saturation System reflects our commitment to quality and durability. The frame is manufactured from electropolished stainless steel, a material known for its minimal particle release and excellent corrosion resistance against cleanroom cleaning agents.
The entire stainless steel trolley and stainless steel buckets are 100% autoclavable (safe to sterilise at 121°C for 30 minutes) This makes the system suitable for use in highly critical cleanroom environments. The choice of stainless steel buckets reinforces its suitability for the most sensitive processes.
The need for controlled and validated cleaning processes is universal in high-end manufacturing. The Contec Mop Head Saturation System is successfully applied in various critical sectors, including:
- High-Tech and semiconductor industry: Where even the smallest micron-sized particles can cause operational failure.
- Electronics and micro-assembly: For the maintenance of sensitive production lines.
- Medical devices and healthcare: Where hygiene and control over micro-organisms are essential.
- Research and development (R&D): For ensuring the integrity of experimental setups.
Compact design and suitability for high ISO classes
The robustness and design of the Contec Mop Head Saturation System are fit for purpose for critical environments. The cart is extremely compact, with dimensions of only 51 cm (L) x 30 cm (W) x 25 cm (H), making it ideal for cleanrooms with limited space or for frequent changes between different zones.
The construction is entirely manufactured from stainless steel, a material known for its minimal particle release and chemical resistance. The cart is equipped with four non-shedding, autoclavable swivel castors, allowing the entire system to be sterilised before use at 121°C for 30 minutes. This feature makes the system suitable for the most demanding cleanroom environments, where guaranteed quality and compliance are paramount.
