Automatic Mist Based Sanitiser Dispensing Unit

Using its expertise in mist technology for fire suppression, DRDO has developed automatic mist based sanitiser dispensing unit. It is a contactless sanitiser dispenser which sprays alcohol based hand rub sanitiser solution for sanitisation of hands while entering the buildings, office complexes, etc. It is based on water mist aerator technology, which was developed for water conservation. The unit operates without contact and is activated through an ultrasonic sensor. A single fluid nozzle with low flow rate is used to generate aerated mist to dispense the hand rub sanitiser. This sanitises the hands with minimum wastage. Using atomiser, only 5-6 ml sanitiser is released for 6-8 seconds in one operation and it gives the full cone spray over both palms so that disinfection operation of hands is complete.
