Joining the world in the fight against Covid-19, Schindler India, a leading provider of escalators and elevators, has introduced 'Schindler Handrail Sanitization Solutions' to prevent rapid spread of bacteria and viruses. The transmission of causative viruses to humans can be through hand contact on the handrails of escalators and moving walks, posing a potential health hazard. Therefore, ensuring clean handrails in the most efficient way has become a matter of great urgency. 'Schindler Handrail Sanitization Solution' brings advanced hygiene protection for passengers 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, thus making Schindler handrail Ultra UV device a practical solution to fight any type of viruses, said Ashok Ramachandran – President Schindler India & South Asia, adding that the solution has advantages over mercury or halogen lamps, including installation inside the unit, which provides invisible protection for passengers, physical disinfection with no chemical or heavy metal residue, and is green and energy efficient. He added that the company is taking all the necessary measures to ensure that everybody is safe and healthy, and the handrail sanitization solution is part of the company's endeavor to provide user-friendly solutions.
