Reliable drying systems for Mills AS

Faster drying and better disinfection of workwear

Mills AS is an established player in food production, where high demands for hygiene, operational reliability, and efficient workflow are crucial. In the production areas, work gloves, boots, and coats are used daily and must be washed, dried, and disinfected to ensure safe handling of foodstuffs.

The challenge

The production environment at Mills created several practical challenges related to the cleaning and drying of workwear, shoes and gloves:
  • Difficult and time-consuming drying of gloves, boots, and long gloves
  • Need for effective disinfection inside boots and gloves
  • Risk of equipment not being completely dry before the next shift
To maintain stable operation and ensure good hygienic conditions, they needed a solution that could both dry and effectively clean the equipment – every day, all year round.

The solution

We delivered the ECO 1300 PRO, a robust and energy-efficient drying system specifically adapted for industrial food production. The system includes:
  • Internal nozzles for targeted drying of boots and long gloves
  • Effective drying both inside and out of various types of workwear, shoes and gloves
  • Ozone-based cleaning that disinfects the inside of shoes and gloves without the use of chemicals
  • Reliable and user-friendly design adapted for tough and damp environments
Everything delivered with a focus on safety, hygiene requirements, and continuous operation.

The result

Following the installation, Mills experienced clear improvements in their daily production:
  • Significant reduction in moisture in work clothes, shoes and gloves
  • The equipment was ready for use faster and with better hygiene standards
  • Ozone cleansing improved the quality of the cleaning without additional work steps
  • The system provides a stable, efficient and hygienic drying environment that supports production and safeguards both employees and the quality requirements of the food industry.
