The system consists of a shutter equipped with special UV-C sources that sanitize the entire facade while the shutter closes. UV-C light is a technology widely used in the sanitation (water, air and food) which leads, with an exposure of a few seconds, to a reduction of up to 99.99% of the pathogenic load of viruses and bacteria . This system has the advantage of not damaging the surfaces.
The system is designed for easy application even on existing installations, in fact, it is sufficient to replace the external frame of the Cash Machine with the one equipped with the sanitization mechanism. An electronic card controls the closing of the shutter which can take place at regular intervals, customizable, or after each transaction (it can also be connected to the ATM). A series of sensors, including the proximity sensor, guarantee the safety of the person making the transaction by preventing the shutter from closing if the Cash Machine is not free.
Finally, the shutter closing sensors can also have a protective function of the cash machine. By closing the shutter during the night, it is possible to intercept any attempts to attack the ATM facade and promptly send an alarm signal.
