VST Mobility Solutions has launched an automated mask disposal machine, named BIN-19, as part of efforts to develop products helping to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The disposal device developed using Chitra UV based face mask disposal bin technology from the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST) was formally launched.
VST Mobility Solutions also launched UV SPOT, a UV light-based multipurpose disinfector, to combat the COVID-19.
The Internet of Things (IoT)-based BIN-19 can be used to collect and disinfect Used Face-Mask.
The device has been successfully tested under microbiological tests by Sree Chitra Lab.
The used masks will be dropped inside a container of the bin will be first disinfected by a process.
The disinfected masks which are dropped in the BIN-19 will be transferred to another container inside the Bin.
The person dropping the mask can sanitize their hands with the help of the automatic sanitizer dispenser attached to the Bin-19.
The user does not need to touch/operate any switches in the Bin. The functions of the BIN-19 are automated in the hands-free equipment for the safety of users and health workers.
