SANITISING BRIDGE

Fire vehicle and equipment specialists Rosenbauer have developed a new solution to combat the spread of easily-communicable diseases in high-tra c sites and public hotspots. eir RPS AeroGate disinfection bridge, rst demonstrated at the Interschutz trade fair in June, creates a germ-free environment inside a glass cube across a 5metre length, giving pathogens no opportunity to take hold, and reliably deactivating them when passing through the portable structure.

e air on the AeroGate disinfection bridge is enriched with a biological agent that breaks down the lipid layer of bacteria and viruses, with the sanitation liquid atomised so nely by high-pressure frequency nozzles that the air volume in the disinfection bridge is evenly and completely lled, and people passing through the space feel nothing but a slightly increased humidity level. e e ectiveness of the aerosol used for the RPS AeroGate has already been con rmed by specialist institutes, and veri cation of its harmlessness to health is currently still in progress.

e bridge, which is versatile and exible both as a mobile solution and xed structure that can be used in tents at events and as a permanent installation at airports, shopping centres, hospitals and exhibition centres, allows up to 750 people to pass through it per hour, and is wheelchair-friendly. It is also extremely easy to service thanks to the simplicity of the technology involved and the design.
