Best Sanitizers Introduces HACCP SmartStep2 Walk-Through Dual Footwear Sanitizing Unit

 The HACCP SmartStep2 Walk-Through Dual Footwear Sanitizing Unit is the newest addition to the family of Nevada City, Calif.-based Best Sanitizers’ HACCP Footwear Sanitizing Unit equipment. The HACCP SmartStep2 adds an additional layer of pathogen protection for food processing facilities, nutraceutical plants, pharmaceutical plants, clinical research labs, and clean rooms by reducing cross-contamination from footwear before employees enter the production area or other critical control zones. This foot-operated unit requires no electricity and uses compressed air to deliver an atomized spray of Alpet D2 Surface Sanitizer or Alpet D2 Quat-Free Surface Sanitizer to the bottom of footwear soles.

The HACCP SmartStep2’s dual footwear, walk-though design provides greater throughput while maintaining a compact footprint (27 in. L x 33 in. W x 44 in. H), meaning it can go practically anywhere in the facility. The unit is made up of eight atomizing spray nozzles (four per boot) to provide ample coverage to footwear soles yet uses only 0.4 ounces of chemical (0.2 oz per boot) to minimize chemical waste and improve moisture control. The HACCP SmartStep2 unit delivers a fresh dose of Alpet D2 or Alpet D2 Quat-Free Surface Sanitizer with every application, with each worker receiving a fresh application of sanitizer for consistent, measurable results every time, the company said. The unit has an open design, so there are no closed areas where pathogens can hide; it is designed to be simple to keep purchase costs low and make the unit easy to clean. Manufactured in the U.S. from 304 stainless steel with high-quality components throughout, the HACCP SmartStep is built to provide years of reliable performance, the company said.

Combining the HACCP SmartStep2 with Alpet D2 or Alpet D2 Quat-Free Surface Sanitizer creates an effective solution to reducing cross-contamination from footwear, it added, explaining that both are alcohol-based surface sanitizers that are ready-to-use, highly evaporative, ideal for water-sensitive equipment, and have fast kill times for non-food contact and food contact surfaces. Alpet D2 and Alpet D2 Quat-Free have a 10-second kill claim on non-food contact surfaces, including footwear, meaning minimal down time for production. Both Alpet D2 and Alpet D2 Quat-Free Surface Sanitizer are NSF listed; EPA registered; and Kosher, Pareve, and Halal certified. “The HACCP SmartStep2 provides effective footwear sanitization in a dual boot, walk-through format,” said Vice President of Sales and Marketing Ryan Witt. “It’s an ideal solution for any food processor looking to reduce the risk of cross-contamination from footwear.”
