The Air Force Aviation University Has a New Approach to Book Disinfection—Self-Service Book Sterilization Machines
Release date:
2021-01-18
The library of the Air Force Aviation University boasts high book borrowing and circulation rates; during the lending and circulation process, books may become contaminated with bacteria. To safeguard the health of our readers, the university library has recently acquired a batch of self-service book sterilization devices—powerful tools for eliminating bacterial contamination.
Yesterday, at the second floor of the Air Force Aviation University, reporters spotted a refrigerator-sized device—the self-service book sterilizer. Utilizing ultraviolet disinfection, it effectively eliminates bacteria such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus from book pages. A reader placed six library‑borrowed books onto the machine’s tray, pressed the start button, and through the glass panel of the protective door, watched the books “bathing” under blue light. After 30 seconds, the books were removed, emitting a faint, pleasant fragrance.
School teachers remind that, to ensure your books remain in good condition for a longer period, it’s important to periodically disinfect them. The simplest and most common method is sun exposure, or you can use ultraviolet light for disinfection. If necessary, you can also take your books to the library and have them disinfected using a self-service book sterilizer.
The Funo self-service book sterilization machine has been deployed in over a thousand libraries and universities across China and has been widely embraced by readers.
