Sanitise with a smoking gun BNT AND AUTOLIGN’S NEW THERMAL FOGGING MACHINE MAKES FAST WORK OF SANITISING CAR INTERIORS FOR WORKSHOP STAFF AND FOR CUSTOMERS BEFORE COLLECTION he GL-900WF Smoking Gun disinfection fogging machine is a portable, lightweight solution for disinfecting and sanitising customer cars on drop-off and for collection. The machine, exclusive to BNT and Autolign, produces a thick disinfecting fog that saturates the air and surfaces to kill germs, bacteria, fungi, and viruses on contact. Filled with an appropriate disinfectant solution, the GL-900WF will supercharge automotive workshops’ hygiene and sanitising capability. It’s an ideal hygiene tool to incorporate in regular vehicle maintenance, providing fast physical protection against infection for staff and customers. It is just as effective in larger spaces such as public reception areas and workshops. To use, plug the machine into a standard socket, turn on the machine, and let the 900-watt unit warm up to operating temperature — about three-and-a-half minutes. Filled with Smoking Gun sanitising solution, the unit will create a thick fog of atomised disinfectant that cleans and disinfects space at the rate of about 56cu/m a minute. It can be aimed and triggered directly from the machine, or by using the cabled remote control. The recommended cleaning fluid is

safe on skin and achieves 99.9 percent sanitisation. Shut off the machine after enough fog has been created for the space, leave it to circulate and settle for five to 10 minutes, then aerate the space before resuming normal use. The Smoking Gun is an effective and efficient tool in a sanitising strategy that will address WHO guidelines for preventing the spread of viruses and contamination.
The GL-900WF Smoking Gun is exclusively available through BNT and Autolign.
