REDUCING FOOTWEAR CONTAMINATION
The HACCP SmartStep2 Dual Footwear Sanitizing Unit from Best Sanitizers is a foot-operated system that 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. Without consuming a single watt of electricity, each application provides ample coverage to footwear soles using only 0.4 ounces of chemical (0.2 ounces per boot), minimizing chemical waste and improving moisture control. With a sturdy, stainless-steel design constructed in the United States, the HACCP SmartStep2 is a highly effective tool for reducing cross-contamination from footwear in wet or dry food processing facilities.
