Biosecurity Disinfection and Dispensing Systems

Foaming, sanitising, footbath and wash-down systems that apply approved disinfectants accurately and consistently — across farms, greenhouses, food processing plants and facilities.

Precision Flow Solutions supplies the equipment that puts biosecurity into practice: foaming, sanitising, footbath and wash-down systems that apply approved disinfectants accurately and consistently across farms, greenhouses, food processing plants and facilities. With threats such as avian influenza and African swine fever a continuing concern for Australian producers, keeping disease out and stopping its spread depends on disinfectant reaching the right place, at the right strength, every time. We supply, install and service across Australia from our Northmead base in Sydney.

Our equipment applies the disinfectants and sanitisers you choose. Always follow the product label and the current guidance from your state authority, Farm Biosecurity and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry for the specific controls that apply to your operation.

Why Biosecurity Depends on Accurate Disinfectant Application

Biosecurity is the set of measures that keep disease from entering a site and stop it spreading if it does. People, vehicles, equipment and water are the main pathways, and cleaning and disinfection are how you control them. The disinfectant does the work, but the equipment decides whether it reaches the surface at the correct concentration:

  • Consistency: A fixed dilution ratio delivers the same strength every time, rather than guesswork with a measuring jug.
  • Coverage: Foaming and spraying reach crevices, vertical surfaces and large areas that manual application misses.
  • Contact time: The right application keeps surfaces wet for the period the disinfectant needs to work.
  • Safety and cost: Accurate metering keeps operators away from neat concentrate and stops chemical being wasted.

Biosecurity by Industry

Livestock and Poultry Farms

Footbaths and hand sanitiser at shed entrances, foaming and disinfection of sheds and pens, vehicle wash points, and water line sanitation, alongside drinking water medication. This is where biosecurity matters most when threats such as avian influenza and African swine fever are active. See our on-farm dosing and biosecurity solutions.

Horticulture and Greenhouses

Disinfection of greenhouse interiors, benches and equipment, plus truck and vehicle entry and exit points, to protect crops from disease brought in from outside. See our horticulture solutions.

Food and Beverage Processing

Foaming and sanitising of equipment and surfaces, loading bays and vehicle entry points, supporting hygiene programs such as HACCP. See our processing and industrial solutions.

Facilities and General Industry

Sanitising of entry points, high-traffic areas, washrooms and shared surfaces to reduce the spread of illness through a building. See our facility cleaning solutions.

Clean First, Then Disinfect

Disinfectant only works on a clean surface. Organic matter such as dirt, manure and litter shields pathogens and weakens many disinfectants, so the first step is always to remove the soil with detergent and water, then apply the disinfectant at its label dilution and contact time. For a fuller walk-through, see our guide to on-farm biosecurity and disinfection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is biosecurity and why does it matter?

Biosecurity is the set of measures that keep disease from entering a site and stop it spreading if it does. It matters because a single incursion of a disease such as avian influenza or African swine fever can shut down production, so controlling the pathways that carry disease, people, vehicles, equipment and water, through cleaning and disinfection is central to protecting any farm, greenhouse, plant or facility.

What equipment is used for farm and facility biosecurity?

Biosecurity uses foaming systems for shed, pen and equipment disinfection, sanitising sprayers for surfaces and areas, footbath and entry-point dosing, vehicle and equipment wash-down points, and water line sanitation. This equipment applies approved disinfectants accurately and consistently as part of a wider biosecurity program.

How does a footbath dosing system work?

A footbath dosing system keeps the disinfectant in a footbath at the correct concentration by metering it in at a set ratio, so the bath does not weaken as it is used and diluted. Users scrape their boot soles and step through, which disinfects footwear at entry and exit points and helps stop disease being carried between clean and dirty zones.

Does disinfection equipment prevent disease like bird flu?

No single piece of equipment prevents disease on its own. Dispensing equipment such as foamers, sprayers and footbath dosing helps you apply approved disinfectants accurately and consistently as part of a wider biosecurity program. Effectiveness depends on the disinfectant, correct dilution and contact time, and on following the product label and current authority guidance from Farm Biosecurity, DAFF and your state authority.

Can biosecurity dispensing be used across different industries?

Yes. The same core equipment, foaming, sanitising, footbath and wash-down systems, applies to livestock and poultry farms, horticulture and greenhouses, food and beverage processing, and general facilities. The application points differ by industry, but the principle of applying approved disinfectant accurately and consistently is the same.

Does Precision Flow Solutions supply and install biosecurity equipment?

Yes. We supply, install and service biosecurity dispensing and disinfection equipment across Australia from our Northmead facility in Sydney, and we hold local stock of foamers, sprayers, dosing units and spare parts for fast support.
