Meritech, a division of Resurgent Health and Medical and leader in automated handwashing and sanitizing technology, announced today that Jose Pepper’s and Cactus Grill restaurants have purchased 9 CleanTech® 500EZ Automated Handwashing Systems for locations in Kansas and Missouri.
“I saw the machines at the National Restaurant Show and I knew it was something I wanted in our kitchens for our cooks and our staff. Our restaurant is proactive in protecting our patrons,” said Ed Gieselman, owner of the Cactus Grill and Jose Pepper’s. ”I have been very pleased with the results I am seeing - my employees are washing their hands more often due to the ease and enjoyment of the machine.”
The touchless system performs a fully-automated ten-second wash, sanitize and rinse cycle. Using Meritech's proprietary Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) sanitizing solution, the single cycle removes over 99.9% of pathogens and continues to kill germs for up to six hours. The FDA certified CHG-based sanitizer contains mild skin conditioners to improve skin health while removing dangerous germs.
The system further boosts compliance by ensuring a pleasant, uniform handwash using high-pressure water jets that perform a consistent wash-and-sanitize cycle every time the machines are used.
