Ashok Ramachandran, President, Schindler India & South Asia
Schindler Handrail Sanitization Solutions brings advanced hygiene by providing continuous and automatic disinfection of the surface from bacteria, parasites, and viruses. Schindler’s handrail ultra UV device uses germicidal UVC light to irradiate the handrails at a short distance. This directly damages DNA and RNA, which are the genetic materials of microbes and viruses. Additionally, with the LED lighting technology, handrails are disinfected in an efficient and environmentally friendly way.
The device is installed inside the escalator or moving walk to ensure passenger safety. The design makes it easy to install, which makes the Schindler handrail Ultra UV device a practical solution to fight any type of virus. The solution is more advantageous than mercury or halogen lamps since installation inside the unit provides invisible protection for passengers; physical disinfection with no chemical or heavy metal residue; besides which, it is green and energy efficient.
