Inside the pod

What happens during a cleaning cycle?

A proposed mechanism for the Sneak & Shield concept. The final cleaning method, sanitisation technology and drying system will depend on the selected manufacturer and verified machine specifications.

SNEAK & SHIELD SELECT CLEANING PROGRAMME ILLUSTRATIVE CONCEPT — NOT FINAL ENGINEERING
01
Choose a programme

The touchscreen lets customers select Basic Clean or Super Clean and pay using the supported payment method.

02
Cleaning unit

Depending on the model, brushes, controlled water or cleaning solution help remove surface dirt and grime.

03
Sanitise & deodorise

A supplier-specified treatment is used. Ask the manufacturer for the technology, test evidence and safe-use instructions.

04
Drying stage

Airflow or another specified drying method helps finish the cycle. Confirm the real cycle time and final dryness with the supplier.

Important: this is an illustrative concept diagram, not a claim that every machine includes all mechanisms shown. Final features must be confirmed and tested with the selected manufacturer.
