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 highpressure 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.
