Best Sanitizers HACCP SmartStep and HACCP Defender Footwear Sanitizing Stations

For decades, food processors have been using foot baths (also called shoe baths and foot mats) as a method of reducing cross-contamination from footwear in their processing facilities, but they have many inherent problems.

Best Sanitizers’ HACCP SmartStep and HACCP Defender Footwear Sanitizing Stations use compressed air to deliver an atomised spray of Alpet D2 or Alpet D2 Quat-Free surface sanitiser to footwear soles. Unlike foot baths, each worker receives a fresh application of sanitiser for consistent, measurable results every time.

The HACCP SmartStep sanitising system has a compact footprint and can go practically anywhere in the food processing facility. The unit is foot operated and uses just 0.2 ounces of Alpet D2 sanitiser per foot, which minimises chemical waste and helps control moisture. This makes it suitable for dry processing facilities.

The larger option, the HACCP Defender Low-Moisture, Walk Through, Automatic Footwear sanitising station is suitable for applications where higher throughput is a must. The one-way design also helps manage traffic flow and improves pathogen reduction to critical areas of the facility.

Food processing facilities, nutraceutical plants, pharmaceutical plants, clinical research labs and cleanrooms can use either unit individually or in combination to maximise pathogen protection throughout their facility.

Since these units provide each worker with a fresh dose of sanitiser, there is no need for constant monitoring. Traffic flow can be designed to eliminate the possibility of workers avoiding the units, and the unsightly visual of a messy foot bath is replaced with a clean, effective piece of equipment.
