Cabinet sterilisation unit

Although originally designed to deal with a specific piece of equipment this range
of devices are very versatile and extremely powerful.

They can be used to biologically cleanse any item, which can physically fit into it them.
It is likely that its principal use will be in disinfecting electronic equipment which cannot
be biologically cleansed in any other way.

The principle of irradiating from six sides is patented and is exclusive to our products.

This design means this unit is capable of biologically cleansing a great variety of shapes and sizes of subject matter. It can be scaled up or down as the need arises, the functionality remains the same. At the larger end of the scale it is suitable for biologically cleansing hospital beds as well as major pieces of equipment.

Whilst most of the range is portable the larger sizes can be designed on portable trailer or in situ. The major proviso is that the subject matter must be physically clean before the chamber can be 100% effective.

The powerful Philips UV lamps produce large amounts of UV light both directly onto the subject item and onto the angle mirrored reflectors. These mirrored reflectors ensure all of this power is reflected many times and is concentrated onto the object in the centre of the chamber, this also ensures that there are no shadows regardless of how complex in shape the subject item may be.

To eradicate the problem of contact points (the object must touch the inner cage at some point) the operating manual insists on two irradiations taking place with the subject item being moved between exposures. The intensity of the Photons in this chamber is such that they will penetrate any crack, seam or recess including vents and screw heads etc, the photon is a small particle and it will penetrate very deeply until it hits something solid, it will only travel in straight lines hence the need for angled reflectors to ensure we have what amounts to a Plasma effect with photons moving in all directions, in this way we can be certain that no micro organism can escape exposure.

The CSU chamber is particularly powerful and even complex electrical equipment can be very effectively cleansed using only a very short exposure 20 to30 seconds will prove sufficient in most cases. The CSU has many built in safety features; it is not possible to run the machine with the door open, it has a sophisticated interlock system which can only be overridden by using the maintenance operative’s key.

The Chamber is further protected by residual current devices which completely isolate the machine from the power supply in the event of a malfunction.
Servicing is extremely simple the lamp arrays are modular and the engineer needs only to replace modules and downtime is minimised.

Routine maintenance is required in order to ensure proper performance of the CSU lamps should be changed every six months and the reflectors polished. Other than this no further action is required.
