To ensure higher standards of protection and security for your customers and employees!
Shopping carts, luggage carts, wheelchairs, etc. are used on a daily basis by a large group of people. Countless germs and viruses are transferred onto these contact surfaces. And through smear infection, these pathogenic germs, many of which are be potentially dangerous, are transmitted onto the next human.
In light of the current incidence of infection, a fundamental rethink is required regarding the necessity and effectiveness of sanitation of these daily helper.Safety against germ transmission can only be guaranteed through a regular maintenance and disinfection as well as a strict avoidance of any contact with contaminated surfaces. This also prevents the uncontrolled contamination of devices and products with germs and bacteria.

- capacity of up to 150 units per hour ( continuous flow of operation)
- easy transport on wheels in between storage and the operating area
- Required connections: 230V FI-protected, domestic water
- all components made of stainless steel or plexiglass
- Automatic provision of the disinfectant solution, made available in solution tank

Car-T-Wash is constructed for the application of disinfectant concentrates. The preparation of the disinfectant solution follows a defined mixing ratio.
The system is preset to a mixing ratio of 1:128 (recommended disinfection). The configuration to another ratio is also possible.
The recommended disinfectant solution is phosphate-free and pH-neutral. It was formulated as an efficient disinfection for the cleaning of hard, non-porous surfaces, especially of metal and plastic.
When applied accordingly, it is highly efficient against a broad spectrum of viruses and bacteria (incl. HIV-1, HIV-2, HBV, HCV, Sars CoV-2), prevents the growth of mold and fungi and reduces unpleasant odors.
- Transport to the place of operation and restoration of operational capability
- Connection to power and water supply as well as the disinfectant concentrate
- Upon switching on, the disinfectant solution is being prepared in a level-controlled manner
- Carts are wheeled through the facility by the operator in convoy format
- The system then automatically initiates at the control contact of the first carriage and ends at the exit of the last carriage
- Spray mist application inside the disinfection chamber, excess mist and sewage water is collected in the ground container
- The desinfectant resides on the surface, dries rapidly in the air and leaves no residue behind
- Next use after a short exposure to air (<5 min.)

Comparison of application concepts

- Most common practice
- Issue and return in the same location
- No or rare cleaning of the fleet
- Customers use contaminated carts
- Uncontrolled spread of germs, viruses and bacteria

- Offer of a disinfection in personal responsibility of the customers
- Queues and dissatisfaction due to limited capacity
- Use of contaminated wagons continues
- Hardly any reduced risk of passing on germs, viruses and bacteria
- Effectiveness and usage decreases significantly with decreasing public awareness

- Systematic separation of contaminated and disinfected carts
- No contact with contaminated surfaces, customer takes over “clean” shopping cart
- Avoidance of disinfection can be prevented
- Efficient disinfection with continuous flow of operation before the next use
- No waiting times for the customer
Is the disinfection of shopping carts beneficial?

Virus and germ spread
Disinfection as protection against germs is a controversially discussed topic. Especially the durability and tenacity of the human defense system is used here as a counterargument. Nevertheless, the data of numerous studies in recent years should not be neglected. According to these studies, the handles of shopping carts, among other things, contain significantly more germs than toilet seats.
Germs found include among others: Noro virus, influenza, E-Coli, etc. Additionally germs, otherwise only present in severe wounds , could be identified.

Considering that these germs are spread with every physical interaction, the demand for a systematic cleaning and disinfection of shopping carts only understandable. And this must not only be driven by the current Corona pandemic, but must be part of a wholistic hygiene concept for the use of such and similar everyday aids.
