Re-use for protective masks
In order to meet the urgent need for protective masks, especially in hospitals, Christof Industries is making a device produced in Graz for sterilizing these protective masks available to Styrian hospitals free of charge with immediate effect.
Extensive tests have been carried out over the past few days, all of which have been positive and now make it possible to reprocess urgently needed protective masks of protection classes FFP2 and FFP3 to a high standard of quality, thus making a significant contribution to safeguarding supplies in hospitals.
The sinTion device produced in Styria by Christof Industries has so far been successfully used in 18 countries around the world. The sinTion process is listed by the renowned Robert Koch Institute in Berlin as a tested and recognized disinfection process. With a basic size of just under one square meter and a height of around 1 meter, sinTion is compact in size. Only connections for power, water and waste water are required. sinTion is very easy to install and operate.
According to the test results per hour about 150 masks be prepared for reuse. The treatment cycle lasts approximately 16 minutes and operates at temperatures up to 134°C.
The device was set up at Graz University Hospital in the central sterilization department on March 26, 2020. Company owner Johann Christof consciously wants to set an example with this campaign and also sees this contribution to the general public in particular as a thank you to the hospital staff for their outstanding work and performance: "Our thanks go to the employees in the hospitals who do a great job for the people in our country," says Johann Christof.
