    HACCP Colour Coding
    The Benefits
    of implementing HACCP & Color coding
    Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points, or HACCP as it is commonly known, is a preventative approach to food safety from biological, chemical, and physical hazards in food production.

    By identifying critical control points, the HACCP system can be used at every stage of the food chain from manufacturing through to distribution.

HACCP – Color coding

Color coding tools has become a recognised asset within good manufacturing practices in food and beverage production, proven to support segregation, improve visual standards of cleaning and support the identification of foreign body caused by wear and tear of cleaning and food contact tools.

Tools with matching-colored handles and heads can be identified quickly and easily, which is especially important within workplaces where several languages are spoken and can greatly aid the training of staff.

Segregation of activities is particularly important when managing:

  • - Different levels of risk within manufacturing operations (high level, high care, and low risk)
  • - Manufacture of allergens and non-allergens containing products, ensuring specific tools can be safely managed during use, cleaning, and storage.
  • - Cross-contamination routes related to usage of equipment for cleaning and handling products.
  • - Specific hazards: a methodical color-coded approach associates each product with a particular area, promoting inter-departmental and/or food-type segregation.

Most of our hygiene range is color coded, with up to twelve vibrant, easily identifiable colors to choose from.

Antimicrobial
Products

Hillbrush offers a line of antimicrobial products which incorporates the benefits of Biomaster silver-based antimicrobial additive, technology that helps create more robust protection against mould, yeast and bacteria growth on its surface. The antimicrobial performance will continue to work throughout the lifetime of the tool.

To ensure that the antimicrobial line can fully support Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), tools have been manufactured using 6 different colors including red, purple, yellow, blue, green and black. These options allow sites to allocate specific colors for effective zone segregation, control of cross-contamination of hazards and 5S methodology when managing cleaning and handling tools.

Resin Set
Products

First developed in 1986, the Hillbrush resin set line is the world's most effective, versatile and reliable method of filament retention in brushes. This system minimizes the risk of filament loss and fills spaces created by brush tufts when they are anchored in the block in the standard way.

Food grade stainless steel staples secure the filaments in a recessed brush back, which is then flooded with an antimicrobial epoxy resin. The brush then undergoes an extensive process to ensure the resin fills every void, eliminating areas where dirt and moisture could otherwise accumulate.

Metal Detectable
Products

Hillbrush's metal detectable plastic cleaning tools are designed to minimize the risk of foreign object contamination in food processing environments. The moulded products including the scoops, scrapers and the bucket, and brushes with dark blue plastic backs and grey fibers make up the Total MDX line, where all parts are metal detectable and x-ray visible. The Total MDX brushes are Resin Set as standard, and the resin contains the detectable additive.

Total MDX brushes are available in MDX blue only. Hillbrush also offers brushes with standard-colored blocks, which are not detectable, filled with the same grey metal detectable and x-ray visible grey filaments as in the Total MDX line.
