Title:

Electrostatic Disinfection Machine

Value Proposition:

Electrostatic spraying produces uniform and fine spray droplets of disinfection material in a size range of 5-20 µm. Due to the small-sized and uniformly distributed droplets, the surface area of spray droplets increases, enhancing the interaction with the harmful microorganisms. The electrostatic spraying uses significantly less disinfection material than conventional methods, which helps save natural resources and negligible increase of chemical waste in the environment, thereby reducing footprint.

Nowadays, electrostatic spraying devices are in vogue for decontaminating the surroundings by offering the enhanced ability of substance exposure over the target surface and reducing run-off. The consumption of disinfectants reduces by ten times, and the amount of liquid waste generated by the electrostatic sprayer is reduced by 10-12 times compared to conventional sprayers.
