Best Sanitizers
www.bestsanitizers.com
Best Sanitizers has developed the HACCP Defender Low-Moisture Automatic Boot Sanitizing Station to provide an additional layer of pathogen protection by reducing cross-contamination from boots before employees enter the food processing area or other critical control zones. As an employee steps into the station, an infrared sensor closes the four pneumatic doors and delivers a finely atomized mist of Alpet D2 Surface Sanitizer to the bottom of the worker’s boots. The mist provides ample coverage to boots, yet uses only a small amount of chemical, which results in reduced chemical waste and improved moisture control, the company said. Alpet D2 is an EPA-approved, ready-to-use, no-rinse sanitizer that is safe for use on food-contact surfaces. It also is NSF registered, Kosher certified, and Pareve. The HACCP Defender measures 36”W x 38”L x 45”H, and uses a one-way, pass-through design and is constructed from 304 stainless steel and high quality components. Output from the six spray nozzles is adjustable, and set up is easy, requiring standard power and access to compressed air, the company said.
