Istobal adapts its technology to provide arches for disinfection

The Spanish group reinvents itself with the production of arches for the disinfection of PPE of health, security and emergency forces.

International car wash equipment provider Istobal has developed automatic arches for the disinfection of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) of health personnel, security forces and emergencies personnel in addition to arches for the external disinfection of vehicles in order to fight against COVID-19.

The company has started the production of this equipment so that it can be installed near main accesses, quarantine areas, operating rooms, ICUs and other points. The Spanish company has reinvented itself with the manufacture of this equipment, adapting part of its production to combat the spread of the pandemic.

With a capacity to disinfect more than 4,000 people with PPE a day, the arch measures two meters in height and the process takes around 15 seconds.

The same application can be used for vehicles with a capacity of about 1,000 units per day. The first arches for the disinfection of PPE and the exterior of vehicles already work in Spain, in cities such as Madrid and Valencia.
