Electrostatic Unit Options

The Academy of Cleaning Excellence currently utilizes two of the leading manufacturers of electrostatic sprayers in the marketplace, E-Mist and Victory, in our classroom education sessions.

While both companies distribute mobile spraying units, they are in two different pricing categories.

Here we will list for you some of the options you will find from the two.

E-Mist (One unit can be used on roller cart or backpack)

  • 1.25 gallon Solution Tank (54,000 sq. ft.)
  • 85 Micron Spray
  • Fan Powered Spray Gun
  • 2 hour continuous battery life
  • 25 lbs. (Full)
  • One Year Warranty
  • Positive Grounding Cable for 360 Wrapping
  • ISSA/CMI Verified Certification Program

Victory Cordless Sprayer

  • 34oz. Tank (1,000 sq. ft. per fill)
  • Adjustable Spray Nozzle ( 40 – 80 – 110 Microns)
  • 16.8 Volt Lithium-Ion Battery
  • 6 lbs. (full)
  • 4 Hours Run Time
  • 90 Minute Charging Time
  • One Year Warranty

Victory Cordless Backpack Sprayer

  • 2.25 gallon Tank (up to 8,000 sq. ft. per fill)
  • Adjustable Spray Nozzle ( 40 – 80 – 110 Microns)
  • 16.8 Volt Lithium-Ion Battery
  • 4 Hours Run Time
  • 29lbs. (Full)

Where can an electrostatic unit/program be used?

Electrostatic application systems provide the end user with the ability to solve many of the problems that are present in current methods of disinfection. They reduce the time needed for proper disinfection, provide comprehensive coverage, use less disinfectant, and are easy to operate and maintain.

This technology is a partner to the environmental service and infection prevention teams to provide a comprehensive and efficient way to apply the most advanced chemistries and liquid solutions the world has to offer, to help reduce the environmental bioburden, improve outcomes, and lower their bottom line.

Patient Care Environments: These units should be used to disinfect after every terminal clean within acute care, intensive care units, ambulatory care and shared space environments such as group rooms, dining areas, public bathrooms, etc.

Mobile Healthcare (First Responders, Ambulances): This technology should be used daily after each transport or at a minimal after each maintenance check, restock and cleaning of the ambulance.

Durable Medical Equipment: This technology should used daily after each return of medical equipment items. Beds, mattresses, bed side commodes, ventilators, pumps, etc. Most medical equipment companies use these units after picking up of equipment from location and returning to be processed. After the initial clean, during the restage for next delivery.

Using Electrostatics in Disinfection Processes

By utilizing electrostatic technology and induction charging of liquid droplets to produce precise, controlled, high performance liquid disinfectant application, management capabilities for treatment of surface environments is achieved.

Electrostatic application for surface disinfection is a method of applying EPA-registered disinfectants to a target surface area by utilizing electrostatic force of attraction.

Simply put, the electrostatic system places an electrical charge on the surface of the droplets and disperses them across a target surface area, providing a comprehensive, even coverage.

Consistent and uniform coverage of critical disinfectants is achieved. Disinfectant droplets adhere to vertical, horizontal, and three-dimensional surfaces, places where trigger sprayers alone could never deliver product.

What is Electrostatics in Cleaning?

Electrostatics: is a branch of physics that deal with the phenomena and properties of stationary or slow-moving electric charge.

Electrostatics involves the buildup of charge on the surface of objects due to contact with other surfaces.

·      Induction Charging: Electrostatic induction is a method to create or generate static electricity in a material by bringing an electrically charged object near it. This causes the electrical charges to be redistributed in the material, resulting in one side having an excess of either positive (+) or negative (-) charges.

·      Coulombs Law: opposite electrical charges attract and like charges repel. First published in 1783.

Most electrostatic application systems create an opposite electrostatic charge on the surface of the liquid droplets versus their targeted surfaces, thus create a super attraction, “Wrapping Effect”.
