Helen Applewhite, Marketing Manager for Lincat brands, explains: “Hygiene is naturally high on everyone’s agenda right now, and we are all incredibly aware of the risks of everything we touch. We were keen to try to find a way to boost customer confidence in the products handed to them in foodservice and retail outlets. “Our R&D team quickly identified that UV-C rays, which have been used to sterilise equipment in the healthcare sector for many years, could provide a solution. “They worked around the clock to produce the Confidence Box, which uses four UV-C lamps, located in the base, sides and top, to reduce viral and bacterial contamination of the objects placed inside.”
Followers of Lincat on Linkedin, Facebook or Twitter have been treated to a series of engaging teaser videos over the last few days, sharing snippets of the product and positioning it as suitable for hospitality, retail, electronic, health and beauty, and opticians. The Confidence Box, model number F63/900, is constructed from grade 304 stainless steel. Aluminium, safety interlock doors ensure the lamps will only switch on when the doors are closed and a tinted acrylic door blocks UV-C light from passing through. The Confidence Box is available to purchase from Lincat. For more information, please see www.lincat.co.uk.
