The Areksan AR-560 is a horizontal brush hygiene corridor with exit turnstile control, designed to maintain hygiene chain continuity by decontaminating footwear soles as personnel leave the production area. Two horizontal brushes, each driven by an independent geared motor, clean footwear and boot soles effectively in either wet disinfectant or dry mechanical mode. Engineered for environments where exit hygiene is operationally critical — including flour mills, meat processing facilities, semolina and confectionery production plants — the AR-560 measures 1000 × 1100 × 1370 mm, weighs 105 kg, and is fabricated from 1.5 mm 304-grade stainless steel.
Exit-Point Sole Decontamination System Enforcing Footwear Hygiene at Production Departure
Exit-Specific Hygiene Barrier Approach
While hygiene protocols are commonly focused on production area entry, the AR-560 addresses contamination risk at the exit point with equal rigor. Flour dust, meat residues, fats, and organic matter that accumulate on footwear soles during production represent a significant contamination vector when carried outside the facility — posing risks of both environmental contamination and cross-contamination across adjacent areas. The AR-560 physically links the exit turnstile to a mandatory sole cleaning sequence, controlling this risk through a structural barrier rather than relying on personnel compliance.
Horizontal Brush System with Wet and Dry Operation Modes
The brushing system of the AR-560 comprises two horizontal brushes, each driven independently by its own dedicated geared motor. The purpose-engineered brush configuration mechanically removes contamination from footwear and boot soles with consistent effectiveness. The system can be configured for wet operation — with disinfectant solution applied during brushing — or for dry mechanical cleaning mode, depending on the facility’s operational requirements and preferences. This operational flexibility makes the AR-560 an adaptable exit hygiene solution across a wide range of production environments and contamination profiles.
Compact Durable Construction and Modular Turnstile Design
The AR-560 enclosure is fabricated from 1.5 mm thick 304-grade stainless steel, providing high corrosion resistance and long-service durability. The water-resistant outer body maintains the mechanical integrity of the unit in humid conditions and under sustained disinfectant exposure. Turnstile arms are modular in construction and can be removed and reinstalled without specialized tooling, enabling routine maintenance, deep cleaning, and component replacement to be completed efficiently without disrupting production exit flow.
Access Control System Compatibility
The AR-560 operates in full compatibility with access control units and token systems. The system is controllable via dry contact inputs, TTL and CMOS signal protocols, and supply voltages across the 5–48 V range, enabling seamless integration into existing exit management infrastructure without additional interface hardware. Operating voltage is field-configurable at 110/220 V – 60/50 Hz AC (±10%) or 24 V DC.

Typical Applications
The AR-560 exit turnstile hygiene corridor is deployed in flour mills, semolina and confectionery production facilities, meat processing and poultry production plants, and food packaging operations where preventing sole-borne contamination at the point of departure is a mandatory hygiene requirement. Its compact footprint allows straightforward integration into existing exit corridors, completing the exit-side link of the facility’s hygiene chain and ensuring that contamination control extends beyond the production floor perimeter.
