Upgrading Bin Hygiene: Why a Facilities Leader Chose the Morclean BinWash AUTO

By -

In the world of security and facilities management, cleanliness isn’t just about appearance — it’s about health, safety, environmental responsibility, and efficiency. A leading company in this sector recently invested in the Morclean BinWash AUTO — a fully automatic bin washing system — and the decision highlights key trends in facility services. Below are the what, the why, and the benefits of bringing in this technology.

What is the Morclean BinWash AUTO?



Morclean’s BinWash AUTO is a high‑spec automated cleansing system for wheeled bins. Some of its standout features are:

  • Automatically cleans any size of EU‐style wheelie bin with dual rotating cleaning heads — covering all inside surfaces without manual washing. 

  • A hydraulic lift and lower mechanism: bins are raised into a contained housing for washing, then lowered again — operator doesn’t have to manually lift or tip heavy bins. 

  • Fully enclosed structure that contains wash water and overspray. Overspray, wastewater, debris all remain within the machine’s housing until properly drained — important where hygiene is critical. 

  • Automatic operation: one‑button controls to lift, wash, and lower bins, plus the bi‑directional rotating heads working on a 360‑degree double axis to reach base, sides, and inside surfaces. 

  • Optional safety features: splash screens or hand‑lance hose reels, gated barriers, etc., for additional safety and containment. 

Why This Company Decided It Was the Right Investment

For a service provider concerned with cleaning, security, and facilities, several considerations made the BinWash AUTO especially attractive:

  1. Hygiene & Risk Control
    In many of their sites (e.g. medical facilities, secure compounds, client‑facing areas), bins are a potential vector for odours, pests, cross‑contamination. Having an enclosed, automated wash machine reduces exposure risk and helps maintain high standards of hygiene.

  2. Operational Efficiency & Reduced Manual Handling
    Manual cleaning of bins is laborious, risky (lifting, tipping, handling waste) and potentially unsafe. The hydraulic lift + automatic washing heads mean less physical strain on staff, quicker turnaround, and consistency in cleaning.

  3. Environmental Compliance & Containment
    The system ensures that wash water, overspray, and contaminants are contained until captured and treated or disposed of properly. This matters for regulatory compliance (waste water discharge rules, health & safety regs) and environmental responsibility.

  4. Durability and Reliability
    The machine is designed for frequent, heavy‑use operation. With robust build, automatic mechanisms, and enclosed catchment, maintenance needs and breakdown risk are lower compared to ad hoc wash setups.

  5. Reputation & Client Confidence
    For a company providing security / facilities services, having visible, high standard equipment communicates professionalism. Clients expect clean, safe, well‑run environments; having automated hygiene measures factors into trust and credibility.

Expected Benefits / Early Impacts

By installing the BinWash AUTO, the company expects to see:

  • Cleaner bins, with reduced odour and fewer complaints from occupants or users.

  • Quicker cleaning cycles, allowing more bins to be washed per day with less operator time.

  • Lower health & safety risk: fewer manual lifting injuries; less exposure to splashes, contaminated water or pathogens.

  • Better environmental outcomes: less stray wastewater, better control over effluent, potential savings on water if reuse / recycling is employed.

  • Improved regulatory compliance; easier audits / inspections thanks to documented, contained wash process.

  • Longer life of bins: by cleaning properly and regularly, dirt, corrosive residues, mould etc. are removed before they degrade the bin surfaces.

Things to Plan When Deploying Such a System

To get the most out of the investment, some planning and thought are advisable:

  • Space & Installation: Need a level concrete base (or equivalent floor) that can support the bin and mechanisms; a place that allows good access and drainage.

  • Water Supply & Drainage: Ensure adequate water supply, and that drain / water capture systems are compliant. Decide whether water recycling or filtration is to be used.

  • Operator Training & Safety: Even though the machine automates much of the work, staff still need to be trained in safe operation, cleaning heads, handling of wastewater, safety locks / gates if installed.

  • Maintenance & Servicing: Regular checks on hydraulic lift, seals, nozzles, motors. Cleaning filter elements or screens so performance remains consistent.

  • Operational Scheduling: Planning wash cycles around usage: optimising throughput (e.g. timing, number of bins, automated schedule) to ensure machine is used effectively without bottlenecks.

Conclusion

As facility services, cleaning, and waste management requirements become ever stricter — driven by regulation, client expectations, and environmental awareness — automated solutions like the Morclean BinWash AUTO offer a compelling upgrade. For this company, the move represents an investment not just in a machine, but in safer work, better hygiene, reliability, and improved service quality.
