Entryway Foam Sanitizers Overview

Entryway Foam Sanitizers Overview

Turn anti-bacterial chemicals into a protective foam barrier that clings to boots and wheels and penetrates cracks and crevices to eliminate cross-contamination.

Apply chemical quickly

Entryways to facilities, or between uncooked and “ready-to-eat” areas within a facility, are critical control and prevention points. The application of foam sanitizing chemicals at these points builds a barrier to microbial contamination from foot or wheel traffic.

These systems apply a layer of rich foam sanitizer, either on a timed or a pre-programmed basis. This approach, where fresh solution is being applied constantly, is far superior to using boot dip stations or foot baths, which quickly become dirty or dry, and then a source of potential contamination.


Lafferty Entryway Foam Sanitizers are available in many configurations to address a wide range of utilities and operational preferences.

Many situations only require a standalone, single-door, timed unit to dilute chemical on demand, but a satellite or pump fed system can be advantageous when installing multiple units or a whole-facility setup. Plan ahead and consider the possibility of future expansion.

Key Considerations:
  • Are water, compressed air, and electricity available at each doorway?
  • Can chemical concentrate be stored on the production floor at each doorway?
  • How wide is each doorway?
  • How many of each size doorway are being protected?
  • Will doorways operate simultaneously or is individual control required?
  • Does the activation schedule need to be customized extensively, or will each entryway system activate on a simple repeating schedule?
  • 120V or 24V electric? 120V models are also available for 24V.
