Clean You Can See
Our UVC lights disinfect... and we can prove it.
We're experts in lights, but you don't have to take our word for it.
Every UVC Light Conveyor ships with 3rd party UVC Dosimeters so you can see for yourself!
Don't fall for inadequate UVC lights that are unfocused with too much distance between the light and the surface, and too little time of exposure to be effective. In order to be effective in disinfecting surfaces two factors must be optimized; the distance from the surface, and the intensity - or the time a surface is exposed to adequate UVC lighting. Many of the UVC wands and portals out there today use lights that scatter everywhere without the proper intensity of energy, violating one of the basic tenants of UVC light disinfecting.
Clean the UVC Way
Disinfect without Harsh Chemicals
Effective, safe cleaning without coming into contact with harsh chemicals or toxic fumes that can be dangerous to your staff or customers.
Cleaning with Zero Waste
No need to increase your stock of cleaning rags, paper towels, wipes, or other cleaning supplies. Minimize waste.
Investment in Safety
Save money on cleaning teams & safety consultants with our verifiable UVC disinfectant cards. Verify your own clean.
UltraViolet Light
What is UVC?
UVC, or ultraviolet C is a disinfection method that has been around since the mid-20th century. It utilizes short wavelength light to kill or inactivate microoganisms by destroying and disrupting their DNA. This leaves them unable to perform their vital cellular functions. UVC is primarily used in medical sanitation and sterile work facilities.
The efficacy of UVC depends on the length of time of exposure and the intensity and wavelength. It depends primarily on the line of site exposure. In other words, obstacles and even dust on the UVC bulb can reduce it's effetiveness.
Is UVC Safe for Employees & Customers?
Direct and prolonged exposure to UVC can be dangerous and is why SVS has put the engineering into a product that only provides direct exposure to the product being disinfected and safeguards in place to keep harmful rays from direct human contact.
UVC Light is safer for the customers, employees, and environment as there are no toxic fumes or cleaning agents required that pollute the work environment, and potentially degrade surfaces. Additionally, using UVC light technology is a greener solution as it can help reduce the cost of buying consumable cleaning agents and doesn't create more environmental waste. Some companies anticipate spending upwards of $125,000 before the end of the year in order to keep workers safe.
How ViriShield Can Help Your Business
Companies now must spend a small fortune on cleaning processes and supplies that was never budgeted and spray cleaners can be damaging to surfaces that are painted or structure such as paper products.
A high-quality commercial grade UVC device is a one time purchase that can be simple to implement in current business processes, never be something that can run out of stock and in the case of the conveyor, something customers can engage with and feel confident they are not being exposed or exposing others to germs.
CoronaVirus Lifespan on Surfaces
COVID-19 can live on surfaces up to 2-3 days on stainless steel, 4 days on glass, and 7 days for surgical masks.
Are your workplace surfaces clean enough for your staff & customers?
Industry News
UV Light Disinfecting Without Harmful Chemicals
Micro-organisms that includes bacteria and viruses are simple lifeforms that reproduce through subdivision of cells. Because of their simplistic nature, exposure to UVC light in the 254-280nm range the light passes through the cell walls disrupting or severing their DNA structure to a level that they can no longer reproduce or infect (inactivate the organism).
Interestingly enough, the ideal wavelength for inactivating viruses lies between 260 to 265nm and here is where optics becomes important, absorption by material or medium such as water pushes that requirement often to 275 to 280nm. Our LED’s operate in that most effective range with proper lensing and material selection at 270-285nm.
While a lot has been written recently in regards to a shorter wavelength as being safe for human at 220nm or less, the dosage required and resulting length of time required for it to be effective is an order of magnitude of 1,000x that of 275nm. Even high pressure mercury systems that operate at the 405nm range and target specific chemical compounds have the same drawback.
Industry Uses
We've all changed our habits in order to protect ourselves, our family, our employees, and our customers from contracting the virus from daily activities. But some industries, essential and non-essential alike, need to step up their game in order to gain back the trust of both their employees and customers.
Industries such as education, office, customer facing retail, manufacturing, hospitality, delivery personal, warehouse workers, transportation, beauty, and agriculture companies now have to re-evaluate their processes and procedures in order to resume face to face services.
