TUNNEL SANITIZER: AUTO TEMPERATURE DEVICE

In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, disinfectant tunnels are emerging as India’s one of the important strategy to disinfect people and protect against infections. The tunnel is designed with a view to reduce the time of sanitization in places where there are people entering in large numbers such as religious gatherings, educational institutions, hospitals etc.

- 

The sanitization process is effective as the person walks through the tunnel and disinfectants are sprayed all over the person from different angles so that the whole body can be sanitized. Taking into consideration the above research, a collaborative team comprising of faculty, scientists, doctors and industrialist have developed a tunnel sanitizer based automatic temperature controller device. The team comprises of people from multidisciplinary areas: Mr.Hirak Ranjan Das, Mr. Noor Islam and Mr.Sasanka Barooah from the Royal Global University, Guwahati, Dr. Dinesh Bhatia from the North Eastern Hill University, Shillong, Dr.Kalyan Kumar Das, Assam Engineering College and Prof. Animesh Mishra from NEIGHRIMS, Shillong. After more than three months of research, discussions, trials and testing, the machine has been made compact and cost effective. The people passing through it are sprayed with a disinfectant so
