The disinfecting process takes place within a closed chamber. People and pets in proximity to the unit are completely protected from the UV-C light itself.
How does UV-C work?
Our Signify low pressure mercury lamps emit UV-C rays with a wave length of -253.7nm, the length proven to have the greatest bactericidal effect. Air from the room is drawn through the chamber by a fan, once in the chamber the energy of UV-C rays is absorbed by nucleic acids and cytoplasmic proteins, and this changes the structure of the DNA of micro-organisms. Each pass through the unit kills 99% of pathogens like flu or coronavirus.
The MT 250 – perfect for large spaces
Our MT250 units can cover an area of up to 250 cubic metres, making them ideal for larger commercial spaces. The fact that they can run 24 hours a day, seven days a week mean that they offer comprehensive protection from viruses and bacteria.
The MT250 comes with the choice of wall, floor or ceiling mounting and can also be supplied with a motion sensor or timer to regulate operation. With finishes ranging from standard to powder coated colour and polished stainless steel, the MT250 is designed to blend into any location, with a quiet operating volume of <55dB helping to make it completely unobtrusive.
