Unna. In order to protect hygiene-sensitive areas against contaminants, tamper-proof access control is required, especially for production facilities in the food production industry. In order to ideally fulfill these requirements, Kohlhoff Hygientechnik has developed a new Entry Control Device, model "EK 400 WRT", which combines the 3 components namely hand washing, drying and disinfecting with a turnstile. The system can also be equipped with various additional subassemblies for boot and sole cleaning.

As it employs a sensor-controlled and therefore contact-free wash basin, the automatic soap dispenser initially adds soap to the water for about 2 seconds, thereby ensuring thorough handwashing is possible. Clear water flows subsequently for a further 8 seconds (preset by factory). This period can be individually programmed via t process controller.

In the next step, an automatic, high speed hand drier dries the hands hygienically, thoroughly and in an environmentally friendly manner, in less than 10 seconds. A sensor only activates the flow of air whose speed and temperature has been ideally preset by the factory once both hands are detected in the well. The turnstile is not released until the two hand disinfecting process has been carried out through the two wells equipped with tamper-proof sensors. No disinfecting of the hands is possible and access remained barred until the wash basin is used first (as a result of withdrawing the soap and water mixture followed by clear water).

A multi-functional LED display with traffic signal colours indicates the operating status and reports when the levels of the hand disinfectant and liquid soaps reach critical levels. The turnstile can be turned freely in the case of a power failure.
