We now knew the security gantry, there is the disinfection gantry.

After the mask and the hydroalcoholic gel, an additional tool is invited in the fight against Covid-19.

The company First Distribution Soveclat (FDS) in Sartrouville, the only distributor on the scale of Ile-de-France, is adding an article to its catalog for the sale and rental of hygiene products.

The intelligent atomization “disinfection tunnel”, designed in China and assembled in Signes (Var), could soon become widespread in high-traffic areas in Ile-de-France, starting with supermarkets.

A first installation already took place last year in Corsica.

Concretely, a user only needs to pass under the 2.40 m gantry, possibly accompanied by a caddy, a stroller or a wheelchair, to stay there only five seconds and then come out disinfected of any virus.

This ultra-rapid efficiency is explained by the combination of three levels of disinfection.

"Ultraviolet lights as well as ultrasound make it possible to weaken the envelope of the virus as for the hypochlorous acid, it directly attacks the nucleus", specifies Eric Naszalyi, one of the two associates of FDS.

This triple action would thus allow the elimination of "99.9% of viruses, bacteria and germs", according to the manufacturer.

Another version is also available for companies wishing to pass pallets through it.

A light breeze of freshness for the user

On the user experience side, we do not come out with wet hair or fogged glasses as under the effect of a mist.

The atomization allows you to feel a light breeze of freshness, but it stops there.

On the ease of use, there are push buttons that activate each of the three components, all of which can be used independently of each other.

“Ultrasound generates noise, so if you want to use the machine more quietly, you can do so by deactivating the function,” says Eric Naszalyi.

Then, it is necessary to integrate previously 25 tablets in the 25 liter tank because it is the dissolution of chlorine in water which makes it possible to obtain the antiseptic.

This dosage makes it possible to envisage disinfection for 2000 passages.

More effective than bleach

Stéphanie Leguevel, the other partner of FDS, “immediately found the product great for its innovative side and its rapid effectiveness”, but Eric was more doubtful at the start.

"I wondered what was really coming out of there," says the leader.

More effective than bleach, without having the toxic effects, either on living tissue or on the environment, hypochlorous acid is an antiseptic that is very active on bacteria, fungi and bacteria. virus.

It is used in particular in the dental sector.

“I was convinced when I saw the feedback from Corsica,” recalls Eric, who began to canvass the supermarkets located on the outskirts of Sartrouville.

If no gantry has yet been installed in the region, several supermarkets are interested in the process, as is the Senate.

But first, each customer will still have to pay 7,200 euros to acquire the famous “disinfection tunnel”.

This starting price includes a box of active agent lozenges which is valid for 8,000 passes.
