Mobile disinfection container powered with renewable energy offers protection against Covid-19
The coronavirus crisis has led to new demands for effective hygiene, sanitation and disinfection strategies, especially in companies, hospitals, retirement homes and social institutions.
A mobile disinfection container which can be operated autonomously and installed quickly at such facilities, has recently been developed.
The container consists of two separate disinfection areas and a hygiene airlock. It operates using energy generated from solar modules mounted onto the roof of the container.
The sun2MobiDes mobile disinfection container was developed jointly by the Meeco group and Peter Kenkel, in an effort to provide fast, flexible, uninterrupted and energy efficient sanitation facilities even in areas with little or no infrastructure.
Five different container options are available, including a contactless examination facility for sampling, such as saliva swabbing, by means of a glove system, a walk-through option for full-body disinfection and a system for disinfecting parcels or other goods on a continuous conveyor belt. The container allows for full-body disinfection of up to eight people, accommodating four people in two separate disinfection areas simultaneously.
Full-body Disinfection
This system requires users to enter the unit through the hygiene lock to access the disinfection area. At the push of a button or automatically, the spray disinfection is triggered and disinfection is completed in 30 to 40 seconds. The system processes most water-based disinfectants and only approved agents are used.
Contactless Examination
This container option uses one of the two disinfection areas for sample taking. A glass partition wall with an integrated glove system and corresponding sample lock, are used for the contactless transfer.
Disinfection of Objects
With this option, the disinfection room is designed as an airlock and a circulating conveyor belt transports parcels and objects through the disinfection sluice and disinfects them within 30 to 60 seconds.
