Disinfection system for delivery trucks
There’s no debate regarding how tough it is for Australian farmers at the moment, with environmental factors putting livelihoods at risk. The last thing any primary producer, breeding farm, food manufacturer or processing plant needs is a bio-security threat.
For smaller producers and boutique operations, the cost of constructing vehicle disinfection facilities can be prohibitive. It can also be difficult to retrofit them. But the Italian manufactured IDA3 manual vehicle disinfection system provides a modular solution that disinfects vehicles entering and/or leaving the premises.
Available from Tecpro Australia, the system operates under low pressure. Trucks and other vehicles simply pass through the system as they enter (or leave) your premises. A series of nozzles spray disinfectant around the perimeter of each vehicle (including the sides up to 1 m high and the chassis).
Its modular design means the vehicle disinfection system can be constructed to fit trucks up to 3 m wide. It’s easy to put together –— requiring only a screwdriver and spanner — and includes a pump, galvanised steel platforms, spray nozzles and stainless steel enclosure to house the pump and electrical panels. Automatic and customised vehicle disinfection kits are also available.
