Best Sanitizers Introduces New Footwear Sanitizing System

NEVADA CITY, CA – Best Sanitizers, Inc. announces its new HACCP SmartStep™ Footwear Sanitizing System. The HACCP SmartStep adds an additional layer of pathogen protection for produce processing facilities by reducing cross-contamination from footwear before employees enter the production area or other critical control zones. This foot-operated unit uses compressed air to deliver a finely atomized mist of Alpet® D2 Surface Sanitizer to the bottom of the employee's footwear. The mist provides ample coverage to footwear soles, yet uses only 0.2 ounces of chemical which minimizes chemical waste. This delivery method, combined with Alpet D2’s proven efficacy and highly evaporative properties, creates an effective solution for processing plants where reducing pathogens is critical.

Footbaths require a great deal of time, labor, and cost to maintain. Employees need to constantly test the concentration, and if it’s not correct, they must clean, empty, and refill the chemicals for the footbath. In addition to the constant monitoring, as soon as one employee walks through the footbath, it is contaminated and loses efficacy for the next employee. With the HACCP SmartStep and Alpet D2 Surface Sanitizer every employee receives consistent results because each application is the first.

Alpet D2 Surface Sanitizer is widely used throughout the food processing industry for sanitizing tools, hard surfaces and water sensitive equipment. It is a 58% isopropyl alcohol/quaternary formulation that is ready-to-use (RTU), no-rinse, and is safe for use on food contact surfaces. Alpet D2 is a proven rubber boot and glove sanitizer, NSF registered, Kosher certified, and Pareve.

Alongside the HACCP Defender™ Low-Moisture, Walk Through, Automatic Boot Sanitizing Station, the HACCP SmartStep completes a more effective footwear sanitizing system for any plant. The HACCP SmartStep unit features a compact footprint (10”W x21.5”L x 17”H) and can go practically anywhere in a processing facility. Multiple units can be placed throughout the plant wherever pathogen reduction from footwear is needed, and with the optional handles and boot scrubber, the HACCP SmartStep System can be tailored to meet your plant’s specific needs.

“This is a very versatile system. The HACCP SmartStep provides processors with an effective tool in the fight against cross-contamination from footwear.” added Ryan Witt, Best Sanitizers’ Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “It’s the perfect complement to our HACCP Defender™ Walk-Through Automatic Boot Sanitizing Station.”
