Solution for Disinfection Relevant During a Pandemic

Published: 17 May 2021 y., Monday

The world learns to live with the coronavirus keeping society open and taking possible precautions. The danger of COVID-19 spreading across surfaces has contributed to the spread of non-cash payment methods. What if you need to enter a PIN to confirm the payment?

The solution is offered by ASHBURN International, a member of Penki Kontinentai Group. The product line includes irreplaceable during pandemic devices for disinfecting payment terminals with ultraviolet light.

“The technology cleans the surface of self-service device without direct contact and the use of chemicals. UV radiation kills the virus. This way, ultraviolet radiation, discovered more than 200 years ago, is widely used in the modern world for disinfection and prevention of the spread of viruses. The solution we offer is in demand in the hotel and retail business, pharmacies, and other organizations striving to protect their employees and customers,” says Kristijonas Dunauskas, Head of Business Development at ASHBURN International.

Talking about the relevance of the technology, he refers to the WHO. According to its data, the COVID-19 life expectancy on plastic surfaces is 7-9 days. On the report of the University of Hong Kong, the virus on glass and banknotes disappears on the fourth day and lasts up to seven days on steel and plastic. It turns out that the coronavirus can also spread through the touch screens of self-service kiosks.

Depending on devices to be disinfected, the company offers different UV-Clean solutions:

  • for payment devices (UV-PT);
  • for monitors and touch screens (UV-MM);
  • for the standalone option for portable and mobile devices (UV-SA).

K. Dunauskas emphasizes that regular disinfection using UV radiation excludes the transmission of harmful pathogens. UV-C light is dispensed at timed intervals with low levels up to 24″ away. He noted the following advantages of this product line: automated and customized cleaning cycles, motion sensor activation, and audit capabilities with reports generated.

After all, it has been used only for six months, before the device has returned to the creator due to complexity of maintenance. more »
