“We were previously using a basic high-pressure system for washing down our production areas, combined with mobile foaming units. The high-pressure system was inefficient and provided inconsistent pressure when more than one operator was working. The need to manually dilute the cleaning chemicals into the mobile foamers meant concentrations were not consistent and posed a safety risk. We also found we were using an excess amount of hot water.
Arcus provided a centralised cleaning system with multiple wash stations around the factory, which has completely removed the need for mixing chemicals manually. We just bring 25L drums of undiluted chemical to the wash stations and the system does the rest. We’ve since found the chemical concentrations to be very consistent.
Since the introduction of the system, we are using less hot water, the system has proven 100% reliable in the year it has been in and there is also Improved employee wellbeing for our Hygiene Operators. We would have no problem recommending Arcus and their equipment to anyone.”

“The team at Arcus were very accommodating; took on board our suggestions and ensured that we were happy with the concept before proceeding. We got exactly what we needed. After install, they are easy to reach with any queries and have helped ensure the machine is running at peak, and they continue to do so. We’re incredibly happy with the service, and are already working on other projects with Arcus.”

“We have worked with Arcus Systems since the start of our distillery venture. Conor and the team helped us map out the correct equipment we required for the distillery quickly and effectively. Fully equipped with ATEX-rated pumps, compressor unit, CIP lines & bespoke pipelines, we are now fully kitted out to take on more contracts and scale our business effectively. They give us constant support back and always have their communications lines open to discuss any issues that arise and how to rectify quickly. I would highly recommend Arcus Systems to anyone in the processing world to have them facilitate you on your journey moving forward.”
James Richardson, Director, Basalt Distillery
“The LEVO units we purchased from Arcus have been excellent. The first machine reduced our cleaning times significantly compared to what we were doing before, which was all spraying and wiping by hand. Our hygiene audits and swab tests also showed a marked improvement, so it was an obvious choice to purchase another LEVO when we opened our new facility. We’re very happy with the machines, and the service provided by Arcus.”
Derek McCarthy, Managing Director, McCarthy's Meat Market
“From a technical viewpoint our chemical concentrations were always within specifications after testing. This ensured that our hygiene standards were maintained and ensured a high standard of hygiene throughout the factory.”
