The Role of Changing & Storage in the Hygiene Workflow
In a properly designed changing room, the Changing & Storage zone serves as the critical transition buffer between the outside environment (non-clean area) and the production-ready hygiene corridor (clean area). Its functions are sequential and interdependent:
1. Shoe Changing — Workers remove street footwear and don clean work boots. The bench's integrated lower compartments contain street shoes separately, preventing cross-contact.
2. Personal Storage — Street clothes, mobile phones, wallets, and other personal items are secured in dedicated locker compartments. Clean workwear is retrieved from the same or adjacent locker.
3. Footwear Sanitization Between Shifts — After each shift, wet and potentially contaminated work boots are placed in the shoe drying rack for combined hot air drying and ozone sterilization, ensuring dry, bacteria-free boots for the next use.
Without adequate changing and storage infrastructure, even the most advanced hand-washing and air shower equipment cannot prevent contamination originating from improperly stored street shoes, damp boots, or disorganized personal items.
Equipment Portfolio

Available in single-sided and double-sided configurations with fully customizable dimensions.
Feature | Specification |
Material | 304 Stainless Steel |
Design | Upper-seat-lower-storage (separates clean/street shoes) |
Configuration | Single-sided / Double-sided / Custom |
Surface Finish | Brushed (standard) / Mirror polished (optional) |
Customization | Dimensions, compartment layout, accessories (backrest, footrest, side panels) |
Best for: Food processing plants, pharmaceutical GMP areas, electronics cleanrooms, laboratories, and any facility requiring organized shoe-changing stations at cleanroom entry points.
L4: 304 Stainless Steel Locker
The 304 Stainless Steel Locker provides corrosion-resistant, hygienic personal storage for work clothes, personal items, and clean garments. With door configurations from 4 to 24 compartments and multiple lock options (mechanical, electronic code, IC/ID card), it adapts to facilities of all sizes. The 45° sloped top design prevents dust accumulation and simplifies cleaning.
Feature | Specification |
Material | SUS304 Stainless Steel (18% Cr, 8% Ni) |
Plate Thickness | 0.8mm (standard); 1.0mm upgrade available |
Door Options | 4 / 6 / 9 / 12 / 16 / 24 doors (custom available) |

Available Accessories: Hanging rods for work clothes, adjustable shelves, padlock hasps, number plates, custom logo/branding.
Best for: Meat packing plants, dairy and beverage factories, pharmaceutical manufacturing (GMP), cosmetics production, medical facilities, electronics cleanrooms, and research laboratories.
L4: Shoe Drying Rack
The Shoe Drying Rack addresses an often-overlooked hygiene risk: damp footwear. Wet rubber boots and work shoes create ideal breeding conditions for bacteria and fungi. This system combines ozone sterilization with hot air drying (up to 60°C) to thoroughly sanitize and dry between 12 and 40 pairs of boots per cycle. Multiple styles including curved-pipe, straight-pipe, cabinet, and wall-mounted designs allow flexible integration into any changing room layout.
Feature | Specification |
Function | Ozone sterilization + Hot air drying (dual-function) |
Capacity Options | 12 / 20 / 32 / 40 pairs (customizable) |
Temperature Range | Adjustable up to 60°C |
Material | SUS304 Stainless Steel |
Power | 1.5 kW |
Style Options | Curved-pipe / Straight-pipe / Cabinet / Wall-mounted |
Control | Digital display, programmable timer, auto-start mode |
Additional Feature | Automatic deodorization |
Standard Model Reference:
Model | Dimensions (L×W×H mm) | Capacity | Style |
HE-WG12 | 930 × 350 × 1750 | 12 pairs | Curved-pipe |
HE-WG20 | 1450 × 350 × 1750 | 20 pairs | Curved-pipe |
HE-ZG20 | 1500 × 450 × 1750 | 20 pairs | Cabinet |
HE-ZG32 | 1500 × 500 × 1500 | 32 pairs | Cabinet |
HE-ZG40 | 1500 × 500 × 1750 | 40 pairs | Cabinet |
Best for: Food processing plants, central kitchens, slaughterhouses, pharmaceutical cleanrooms, and any facility where workers wear rubber boots or heavy-duty safety footwear across multiple shifts.

FAQ
Q: Why is proper changing and storage equipment important for food safety?
A: The changing room is where contamination control begins. Without designated shoe changing areas, street shoes can track outdoor contaminants directly into production zones. Without secure lockers, personal items may be left on benches or floors, creating sanitation hazards. Without boot drying systems, damp footwear breeds microorganisms that transfer to clean areas. These three equipment categories together form the essential first barrier of your food safety program.
Q: Can the equipment be customized to fit our existing changing room space?
A: Yes. All three products support full customization of dimensions, configurations, and accessory options. Provide us with your floor plan or room measurements, and we will tailor each unit to maximize space utilization while maintaining ergonomic workflow.
Q: What is the difference between single-sided and double-sided shoe changing benches?
A: Single-sided models offer storage compartments on one side only — suitable for smaller facilities or narrow spaces. Double-sided models provide storage on both sides, offering roughly double the storage capacity and better space efficiency per worker served. The choice depends on your expected throughput and room width.
Q: Do I need a shoe drying rack if I already have a boot washing machine?
A: They serve complementary purposes. Boot washing machines clean and disinfect the exterior of boots during entry/exit. Shoe drying racks dry and sterilize the interior of boots between shifts, preventing bacterial growth caused by accumulated moisture from sweat and external water. For multi-shift operations or humid environments, both together provide comprehensive footwear hygiene.
Q: What lock type should I choose for lockers?
A: It depends on your facility's security needs and management approach. Mechanical locks are low-cost and maintenance-free but require key management. Electronic code locks eliminate keys but require battery changes. IC/ID card locks integrate with facility-wide access control systems and are recommended for large facilities with centralized workforce management.
