GLOVES FOR CLEANING LEAFY GREENS
With more people making a conscious effort to eat healthier these days, leafy greens has become big business around the country. Dedicated farmers, producers, and marketers looking to take it to t
he next level have started new ventures that include value-added, pre-chopped, pre-washed ready to eat greens such as lettuce, watercress, basil, beets, broccoli, cabbage and spinach.
The process of getting something as prepared as possible to serve from the bag in the safest possible way requires a single, double or possibly a triple wash that uses the proper amount of chemicals and multiple techit testing regimens that ensure that the ending process has the best, most cleanest, safest product that can be provided to the consumers.
The washing process requires state of the art machinery and dedicated line operators. These operators require P.P.E. that not only protects the worker from the process, but the product from human contamination.
Personal protective equipment such as bouffant caps, beard covers, gloves and aprons are implemented to prevent contamination. Some facilities opt to have their workers wear single-use gloves along with sleeve protectors, but frequent change-outs can become costly and require time and energy to put on.
Two protective work gloves that can extend budgets while reducing time and energy while on the production line are the SHOWA® 772 and SHOWA® NSK26. These highly durable, chemical-resistant and ergonomically designed gloves from SHOWA® offer extended hazard protection for the entire arm eliminating the need to wear and layer single-use gloves and disposable type sleeve protectors.
The SHOWA® 772
The +SHOWA® 772 fully coated nitrile glove is made with a seamless knit design and an elastic cuff opening that provides a snug and comfortable fit. The nitrile coating on the palm and fingers offers excellent grip, making it ideal for handling oily items, chemicals or wet objects. With a 13-gauge liner, this glove provides exceptional dexterity, breathability and flexibility for greater range of motion and reduced hand fatigue during long workdays.
An elasticated border keeps the 772 in place, and its antibacterial and anti-odor proper
ties are ideal for extended wear within the food processing market. A rough surface grip and flexibility combine to ensure optimum dexterity and precision for the wearer.
