Virtual Extermination of Bacteria by Titanium Oxide Bladed Agitator.(Brief Article)

From: Japanese Biotechnology & Medical Technology | Date: October 1, 2001 | Copyright information

Japan Techno Co. Ltd. has developed an agitator called Ultravibration Bacteria Break Cleaner, introducing multi-stage blades made of titanium oxide, that display a significant sterilisation effect.

The introduction of an ultraviolet beam irradiation system has considerably improved the sterilisation of titanium oxide blades. Bacteria in fluids can be rapidly exterminated by using agitation without recourse to any chemical, and the titanium oxide blades can withstand saline and acidic water.

The agitator also displays precision washing effects since a flow accompanying the ...
