Machine & Innovation – OLD

Unlike the best-known Virus and Pathogen sanitisation systems in use today, let us see what the most important differences and counter-indications are that these systems have over AKILLE in terms of both Sanitisation and Quality of treated materials.

OZONE:
Using common Air Ozonisers, as well as being extremely difficult to regulate ozone flows while maintaining the desired conditions unchanged, their oxidising action is reflected not only against Viruses and Pathogens but also on treated materials, producing the following effects in particular.

• PROS:
  • Economical device costing a few hundred Euros
  • USE: mainly for environments
  • Effects: bacteriological elimination at atmospheric pressure
  • USERS: Ho.Re.Ca, Shops, Circumscribed premises, surgeries with metal objects to sanitise such as dentists, dental surgeons, etc.
• CONS:
  • Production of uncontrolled ozone
  • Use prohibited in the presence of customers and staff
  • High maintenance cost due to high energy consumption
  • Production of Nitrogen Oxides with oxidising effects on surfaces where they are deposited and a health risk for people who come into contact with them

STEAM:
Use of Aqueous Steam at 100°C:

• PROS:
  • Economical appliance costing a few hundred Euros
  • Sanitisation of treated surfaces
  • USERS: Ho.Re.Ca, Clothing Boutiques
• CONS:
  • Does not guarantee sanitising of untreated surfaces, requiring good manual practice
  • Requires manual sanitising
  • High treatment costs for personnel employed and/or high energy consumption
  • Not suitable for certain materials such as synthetic or artificial fibres and leather accessories due to high temperature

UV RAYS:
Although UV treatment is able to generate a high degree of sanitisation on all exposed surfaces, in contact with air they are also able to produce limited amounts of ozone.

• PROS:
  • Inexpensive device costing a few hundred euros
  • EFFECT: Sanitisation of all surfaces exposed to radiation
  • USERS: Jewellery, eyewear, other accessories made of composite materials and metals
• CONS:
  • Cannot be used in the presence of an operator, causes serious skin and eye problems
  • Use of UV in contact with oxygen produces small quantities of ozone associated with uncontrollable nitrogen oxides and amino acids which, if inhaled, can cause damage to the respiratory system
  • Cannot be used for the sanitisation of surfaces in the shade with respect to the radiant source, such as inner linings, clothes flaps, shoes and accessories in general

Unlike current systems used today, AKILLE provides TOTAL “CERTIFIED” SANITIFICATION of all treated articles, which now include more than 18 different types of products made of animal, vegetable”, artificial, synthetic (and their blends), metal and leather, paper, plastic, Lycra, Kevlar used in the manufacture of clothing, footwear and accessories through a CERTIFIED process at a CE laboratory.

AKILLE’s certification is achieved through a dry chemical treatment process that guarantees the immediate sanitisation of treated garments without altering their structure or colours.

The Microbiological Sanitisation tests were carried out at a CE certified analysis laboratory – Level 3.

The dry process takes place inside a SEALED chamber so as to kill pathogens in a protected and controlled manner, safeguarding the safety of both employees and customers.

AKILLE can be easily installed in city boutiques as well as in shopping centres for clothing and accessories, inside large single-brand chains, in hospitals and hotels, in dry cleaners or at finishing shops, woolen mills, garment manufacturers and many more.

• Machine:
  • Small in size and volume and depending on the model adaptable to small, medium and large sales areas
  • With an innovative exterior design,
    • can be easily customised to the needs of each individual customer or
    • modified and adaptable to each season with very low updating costs
• Automatic sanitising of all surfaces:
  • Interior and exterior
  • For any kind of textile fibre (animal, vegetable, chemical, artificial) leather, metal Plastic ec ec
• Treatment Cycle:
  • In a protected and controlled environment through detection sensors for the protection of surrounding people
  • Automatic and labour-saving
  • Treatment cycle of a few minutes that can be repeated countless times
  • Use at any time of day in the presence of staff and customers
• Costs – innovative device with advantages in terms of:
  • Very low energy costs
  • Low running and maintenance costs
  • Zero labour costs per treatment cycle
