Goodway Technologies: Leading Innovation in Cleaning and Sanitation

Goodway Technologies continues to be a leader in cleaning and sanitation solutions in the food and beverage industry. With high-tech equipment such as PureBelt® automatic belt cleaning systems and GVC-18000 dry steam cleaners, it reduces cleaning times while keeping hygiene standards high. Their customer-focused approach and innovative products minimize contamination risks while reducing cleaning costs for facilities.

The food and beverage market was struggling with outdated cleaning techniques and was ready for new cleaning solutions. “This involved tedious manual cleaning of production lines and food conveyors with spray bottles, scraping tools and cloths. By providing the industry with unique, innovative cleaning and sanitation equipment that reduces labor and drastically shortens cleaning times, we provide an immediate return in cost savings and reduce the long-term risks associated with product contamination.

Goodway offers some of the industry’s most reliable surface and conveyor belt sanitizing equipment, including PureBelt® automatic belt cleaning systems and Goodway GVC-18000 dry steam cleaners for robust hygiene in food production facilities. Commercial bakeries, snack manufacturers, product processing plants, chocolate, biscuit factories and breweries etc. are just a few places where their high quality machines can be found.

What sets Goodway apart is its customer-centric approach, which starts with discussing customers’ unique cleaning and sanitation needs and developing the right strategy to meet them. This includes working on-site with sanitation and facility maintenance decision makers to determine the most effective method.

Dry steam products remove dirt, grease and oils, sugars and allergens from production machinery, production lines, conveyor belts and sensitive packaging systems, while preparing surfaces for more efficient sanitization. It also offers BIOSPRAY® surface disinfectant systems that improve sanitation performance and reduce labor and chemical use. Patented technology safely atomizes alcohol disinfectants, allowing them to penetrate surface crevices and quickly kill pathogens.

A large bread and hamburger producer in Jacksonville, Florida, sought solutions to reduce labor costs, minimize production downtime, and enhance efficiency. The bakery aimed to improve cleaning processes for its two spiral cooling conveyor belts.

The existing cleaning methods involved using compressed air and manually wiping the conveyor belts with cloths, which was time-consuming and physically demanding for the cleaning team. Maintaining high cleanliness standards was challenging, requiring 12 hours of labor each week from four workers, only cleaning small sections each time. This process was inefficient and costly.

Solution: The producer implemented an innovative cleaning system, which included:

  •  Automatic cleaning mechanisms that reduced manual cleaning needs.
  •  Advanced cleaning technologies that shortened cleaning times and improved hygiene standards.
  •  Less human intervention, reducing physical strain on the cleaning team and requiring fewer labor hours.

Results:

  •  Increased efficiency: Faster cleaning processes, higher production capacity, and fewer disruptions.
  •  Cost reduction: Lower labor costs due to automation and reduced personnel needs.
  •  Improved hygiene and quality: Higher cleanliness standards and better product quality. 
  •  A reduction of over 90% in labor hours!

In a nutshell, Goodway offers a consultative approach with a deeper understanding of a facility’s sanitation team’s pain points and daily challenges. A comprehensive process that enables it to deliver tailored solutions and expected results. By employing sanitation experts, it develops lasting partnerships through specialized expertise, training and support.

Goodway Technologies has started a partnership with Nova Chemtech, a company with a team of 30+ years of experience in the food and chemical industry, to provide maintenance and sanitation solutions to the Turkish food industry.
