Istobal develops COVID-19 disinfecting arches17 April 2020

Spanish vehicle wash manufacturer Istobal has designed, developed and is now producing COVID-19 disinfection arches for health personnel and vehicles.

In just two weeks, it has adapted its chemical application technology on vehicles for the manufacture of arches that can spray disinfectant on the PPE of restrooms, security and emergency departments, quickly and completely in 15 seconds.

The personnel arch offers a capacity to disinfect more than 4,000 people with PPE a day. The two-metre high arch is made up of eight nebulizing sprinklers that spray disinfectant product on the PPE. It is actuated automatically thanks to a photocell detection system.

Likewise, it is also producing arches for the external disinfection of medical vehicles such as ambulances, with an average disinfection capacity of about 1,000 vehicles per day. This system is designed to spray vehicles with biocide.

The first arches for the disinfection of PPE and the exterior of vehicles are already at work in Spanish cities of Madrid and Valencia.
