Customer Experience
National Food Industry Distributor Safety Manager
When a cryopak of beef ribs was punctured in a distribution warehouse cooler, it wasn’t a pretty sight. Beef, blood, and water were dripping from the top rack of the pallet, all the way down to the floor. Clay absorbents aren’t very effective on sticky residues and are too dusty to be used in coolers. So equipment is usually brought to the scene and an expensive foam is applied as a cleanser. Costly and slow.
But when SpillFix was applied to the puddles instead, the mess was cleaned up dry, without residue, within a matter of seconds. When I saw SpillFix in action, I was in awe. “I’ve been in this business for a long time, and I’ve never seen anything like it. A fast, safe way to resolve spills inside a freezer. This is a game-changer.”
