It is said that the virus gets disintegrated by differential heating in the range of 56 degrees to 60 degrees Celsius and is a cost-effective solution that can be operated in portable or fixed installations

Also, the system was tested for human/operator safety and has been found to be safe and depending upon size and shape of various objects, time of sterilisation is from 30 seconds to one minute.

Approximate weight of the system is three kilogrammes and it can be used for non-metallic objects only.
