“In a process that takes less than 10 seconds, a user's temperature is taken when they approach the entrance, followed by the hand sanitization before entering the booth. When the user steps into the booth, the motion detectors trigger the spray of the sanitizer mist covering the whole body,” Mulindwa said.
He explained that the sanitization booths come in two main models, the Mulin 3000 and the Mulin 2000 where the Mulin 3000 is the adult-sized model of the sanitization booths and it comes in two versions: the Mulin 3000 which has a metal finish and the Mulin 3000 Deluxe which has a timber finish.
The Mulin 2000 is the child-sized model of the sanitization booths and it too comes in two versions: the Mulin 2000 and the Mulin 2000 Deluxe.
Both the Mulin 3000 and the Mulin 2000 have features such as a voice and visual alarm that alert of high-temperature readings, an equilibrium spray tunnel to give a continuous uninterrupted spray, an anti-rust aluminum floor, a 20 litre tank containing 600 sprays for up to 600 people, a low noise self-regulating pump, anti-drip nozzles.
