FEM’s new Probbax hands-free pedal bins prevent transfer of bacteria and simplify disposal
The waste disposal area in a kitchen is a potential source of hazardous bacteria and cross contamination. Micro-organisms can be easily transferred by hand contact when emptying out waste and a further complication occurs when waste has to be disposed of by type, e.g. cooked, compostable, recyclable, etc.
Foodservice Equipment Marketing’s Probbax range of pedal bins provide hygienic hands-free waste disposal and are now available with five different coloured lids (beige, blue, red, yellow and green) to simplify the sorting of waste. Kitchen staff can easily identify which waste goes where without the need for labelling or more costly full-coloured bins.
The Probbax bins have a reliable, heavy duty, pedal mechanism so that at no time does the operator’s hand need to come into contact with any part of the structure or lid. The tight fitting coloured lids trap odours, prevent spillage and securely contain waste matter.
For easy cleaning and disinfecting the bins have rounded corners and smooth contours so that dirt doesn’t become trapped or overlooked during routine cleaning procedures. Their durable polyethylene construction won’t rust, dent, chip or peel under the punishing treatment of busy commercial kitchens.
There are four sizes of bins – 30 litre, 45 litre, 70 litre and 90 litre, each is available with five different coloured lids.
