ScrubX Sanitizing Systems

Mobile/Stationary units ǀ 200 and 350 CFM airflow

Novatec’s patent pending ScrubX Sanitizing System is designed to remove and sanitize dust and plastic particulate that may have been exposed to harmful airborne pathogens including the novel Coronavirus. Individual units provide 200 or 350 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of airflow and can provide dust/ particulate control for up to 3,000 or 5,000 square feet (sq. ft.) respectively of interior space.

Novatec’s ScrubX will stop plastic particulate and dust from accelerating the spread of pathogens including COVID-19 in factories.

› ScrubX was invented and designed to help mitigate the level of pathogens which could be present in a factory. Even with the use of masks, airborne viruses can circulate for up to 5 hours. In a factory setting, the virus can attach to particulate and circulate much longer – for up to 48 hours. By removing the dust and particulate from work areas along with any pathogens that might be present the risk of COVID-19 and other virus spread is greatly reduced.

› ScrubX kills viral matter automatically with our interlocked, multi-stage UV system that features an air circulator, scrubber, and sanitizer.

› Both mobile and stationary units are available. Mobile units can be easily moved throughout the factory, or stationary units can be installed in a fixed location, inside or outside of the building.

› ScrubX has multiple patents pending, including one for an IoT-based distribution system of sensors and machines that work in unison to remove the dust in the factory based on actual dust level data, another for the unique mechanical design which collects the dust in a special quartz tube irradiated with ultraviolet C (UVC) germicidal lamps and a specialized dust- dispensing system for fabric filters which collects smaller dust down to 0.1 micron, and prolongs filter life.

Protect your employees Cloth masks don’t adequately protect viral transmission – in or out. And, many workers could be asymptomatic spreading the virus when they’re not showing any symptoms. ScrubX provides that extra step of sanitizing and cleaning shared air space further to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 or other viruses.

Application

The air enters into a cyclone designed to remove the majority of the dust and direct it to a collection container that has UVC germicidal lamps with 2-4 mJ/cm2 intensity.

ScrubX Sanitizer System: How it works

Airflow enters through the intake, which can be oriented to provide maximum air circulation.

Novatec’s ScrubX features a multi-stage air circulator, scrubber, and sanitizer that traps airborne particulate and then kills any viral matter automatically with a multi-staged ultraviolet system. Airflow is moved and directed by a regenerative blower to enter through an intake that can be oriented to provide maximum air circulation. The air enters a cyclone designed to remove most of the

The airflow is generated by a regenerative blower.

Any dust or pathogens, including coronavirus, that are too fine to be removed by the cyclone enters a second stage ultra HEPA filter lined canister that will remove dust down to 0.1 micron.

The second stage filter also has additional 2-4 mJ/cm2 intensity UVC germicidal lamps.

The outlet airflow is directed to an exhaust vent which also contributes to the room circulation.

The system receives feedback from particulate monitoring sensors located in dust prone areas to ensure cleaning of the dust is effective and the factory dust level is within safety limits.

dust and then directs it to a collection container that has ultraviolet C (UVC) germicidal lamps with 2-4 mJ/cm² intensity. Any dust that is too fine to be removed by the cyclone enters a second-stage filter, which has more UVC lamps and includes a 0.1-micron ultra HEPA filter that removes dust and small pathogens, including coronavirus.

What led to the development of the ScrubX Sanitizing System? Is it based on any of Novatec’s existing technology? ScrubX is a new product developed in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Although it uses a cyclone and HEPA filters commonly used in Novatec’s conveying and drying systems, the design of the cyclone filter for ScrubX is different and is customized for the application.

Why is ScrubX a valuable addition to factories? Submicron particulates have always been bad for human health, but with the threat of Covid-19, particulates, and dust accumulation are making the factory environment highly vulnerable to virus transmission. Research has shown that almost 99% of the Covid-19 virus transmis-sion happens indoors and in airborne forms. Surface transmission has proved to be negligible. It’s also well-known that masks do very little to stop the 0.1-micron Covid-19 virus. Therefore, it is imperative that factories do their best to clean the plastic dust in real-time before the particulate can become a carrier of Covid-19 or other airborne viruses.

How is ScrubX different from what’s on the market? Most of the automatic dust cleaners available on the market are outdoor units and work mostly as electro-static filters or dust collectors for dust particles that have an impact on breathing. Existing units do not sterilize the dust using UVC. ScrubX is also a “smart” machine that receives feedback on particulate levels from sensors, which measures dust from 0.3- 40 microns in size. The “smart” ScrubX system ensures that particulates are removed from the factory air efficiently. It’s a full-blown Internet of Things (IoT)-based, modern dust cleaning system where multiple machines with multiple particulate sensors can be deployed to effectively clean the dust in the factory.

Who should purchase ScrubX? Plastic factories are the primary customers. But ScrubX is essential to any factory that performs cutting and polish-ing processes such as wood, food, pharma, construction materials (stone, brick, granite), metal, etc. Aside from fac-tories, even retail stores should be using ScrubX because they are full of micro-plastic and micro-food dust.

How does ultraviolet C (UVC) kill viruses and bacteria? UVC radiates the dust with wavelengths between 200-280 nm. A protein of any kind absorbs at 220 nm, 254 nm, and 278 nm, and it breaks the amino acid bonds. By decomposing the protein chain, UVC destroys the mole-cules of the COVID-19 virus and others. This technology has been used extensively in the past for disinfecting things such as laboratory glove boxes and laboratory instruments.

Is UVC safe for people? UVC is not safe for prolonged exposure to people. There are established limits. However, all the UVC that is pro-duced and used in ScrubX is internal, and there is abso-lutely no external exposure to personnel. It can only be opened after power has been removed, and the required sanitization time has been met.

Is it expensive? Fortunately, the cost is reasonable to provide the safe-guarding of the plant and its personnel. If your goal is to protect your employees, the price is reasonable.

When did the product launch? This product is a new entry into the market, but interest has been quite good. This product is a good fit for the current business climates as well as future periods when bacteria and viruses could be present.

› A built-in control, designed by sister company MachineSense, LLC, automatically measures air quality index, filter status, particulate levels, and more for complete remote monitoring. The control system receives feedback from particulate monitoring sensors located in dust prone areas. This ensures that the cleaning of the dust is adequate, and the factory dust/particulate level is reduced. The control monitors particulate and ambient conditions to provide a risk rating.
