Implementing a captive footwear program is an effective way for facilities to prevent external pathogens from entering production areas. Shoes, especially street shoes, can carry harmful bacteria like Salmonella and Listeria into processing areas. Even with a captive footwear program, controlling shoe cleanliness is impossible without a proper footwear sanitation program.
This method is effective for both captive footwear programs and street shoes, giving facilities the flexibility to choose the approach that best suits their needs without compromising footwear hygiene. Employees will sanitize their footwear using a sanitizing enhancement attached to an EVO Automated Handwashing Station before entering production. Upon exiting production, they will walk through an Automated Boot Scrubber to remove any debris picked up while in the production area.
Enhancing your facility's employee footwear program is now easier than ever with Meritech's Fully Automated Boot Scrubbers and Footwear Sanitizing Enhancements.
Our compact and high-throughput Boot Scrubbers are designed to fit any space and accommodate large employee numbers. Available with adjustable brush heights, they can clean work boots up to 9 inches tall.
Footwear Sanitizing Enhancements seamlessly integrate with CleanTech Automated Handwashing Stations, allowing for simultaneous pathogen removal from both hands and footwear within a 12-second cycle. The Sole Clean enhancement uses a fast-drying solution, while the Boot Dip connects directly to a floor drain.
The CleanTech® EVO Automated Handwashing Stations can be upgraded with the Sole Clean enhancement, offering a 12-second hand wash and footwear sanitizing process that eliminates 99.9% of harmful pathogens. Ideal for dry and semi-dry production settings, the Sole Clean Low Moisturizing Pan uses a fast-drying alcohol and quat-based sanitizer to ensure effective pathogen removal. With customizable settings to maintain the required PPM levels, this enhancement guarantees optimal footwear hygiene for all employees and is compatible with all footwear types.
