Hygiene comes first in food manufacturing and processing, and production areas usually need a thorough wet clean after every shift. Kärcher Hire provides flexible hire of professional Kärcher cleaning machines, so each area of the site has the right equipment, from production floors to cold stores, without the cost of buying it.
A planned shutdown or deep clean is easier to resource when you can bring in extra machines for the job and hand them back afterwards.
Specialist equipment such as a dry ice blaster or an ATEX Zone 22 industrial vacuum is there when you need it, without owning a machine that only comes out a few times a year.
Each part of the site can have a machine suited to it, whether that's the production floor, a dusty ingredients area or the cold store.
As production volumes change through the year, you can add machines or hand some back to match.
If you run more than one site, one supplier can cover them all.
Your hygiene team can use a machine on your own lines before you commit to buying one.

Food production sites deal with wet soiling on floors, walls and machinery, flour and fine dust, residues on production lines and the occasional spill. Here's the equipment for each job.
Our pressure washers take care of the wash-down of tiled floors, walls and production machinery. In meat processing, these are cleaned with high-pressure cleaners, sometimes using hot water as well, and our range includes hot water models. Production areas usually need a wet clean after each shift, using high or medium pressure with detergents.
Our industrial vacuums are well suited to removing residues and dust, and they work in three dimensions too, so they can clean tubes or extract dust as bagged goods are transferred into production. Flour dust can pose a potential explosion risk, and our range includes models for ATEX Zone 22 and for L, M and H class dusts.
Our scrubber dryers are a good option for larger tiled and hard floors, with ride-on models for large open areas and push machines for tighter spaces. In cold stores, a scrubber dryer is ideal for getting dirt out of cracks and crevices, where manual cleaning equipment alone won't remove stubborn dirt. Scrubber dryers need to leave floors completely dry, so cleaned areas can be walked on again straight away.
Our floor sweepers keep production floors clear of loose dirt, and floor cleaning with sweepers and scrubber dryers plays an essential part in food production. Sweepers with a coarse dirt flap pick up larger debris as well, so tell us what ends up on your floors and we'll talk through the options.
Our steam cleaners sit alongside industrial vacuums and high-pressure cleaners as one of the cleaning measures used in food production. In chilled rooms at around 0 to 6 °C, steam cleaning can be carried out without any problems.
Freezer rooms below zero can't be steam cleaned while the refrigeration is running, as the water would freeze in the unit and on the surfaces.
Our dry ice blasters remove fat, starch, encrustations and burnt-in deposits from filling and mixing plants, production lines and handling systems. Dry ice is a suitable option especially for extruder screws, such as those used in ice cream or baby food production, and because the frozen CO2 turns straight into gas, no residue remains.
Yes. Our industrial vacuum range includes models for ATEX Zone 22 and for L, M and H class dusts. Tell us about the area and the type of dust, and we'll talk through which model fits.
Hire periods start from 2 days, so you can hire a machine just for the shutdown. Next-day delivery is available across the UK, subject to location and availability.
Scrubber dryers suit cold store floors, and dry ice cleaning is possible while the cold room is still running. Steam cleaners can be used in chilled rooms at around 0 to 6 °C, but not in freezer rooms below zero while the refrigeration is on.
Free operator training is included on delivery, so your team can get started with each machine straight away.
Maintenance is included as standard and every hire comes with breakdown support. Get in touch with our team and we'll take it from there.
