The first unit in Thanh Chuong to successfully produce this product is the Thanh Duong commune youth union. This is a grassroots union with many new initiatives in the movement to fight the epidemic with the whole population.

Not long ago, the youth union members of Thanh Duong commune also successfully manufactured 5 automatic hand sanitizer machines and donated them to medical stations and schools in the area.

Mr. Nguyen Sy Tinh - Deputy Secretary of the Commune Youth Union, who is also one of the members who manufactured the automatic disinfection chamber, said: Following the success of producing the automatic hand sanitizer machine, the members of the group came up with the idea of ​​producing the automatic disinfection chamber. After a period of research and implementation, we have also produced a disinfection chamber that meets the standards.

According to Mr. Tinh, the automatic full-body disinfection chamber consists of the following parts: chamber, sensor, spray pump... in which the infrared sensor is the most important part. Whether the disinfection chamber works well or not largely depends on the sensor.

The raw materials to produce the disinfection chamber are steel, canvas, and PVC plastic curtains. The chamber is quite simple to produce, taking advantage of scrap iron and steel from previous propaganda boards and signs, just need a little quick thinking to be able to utilize it.

After cutting, the steel parts are welded together to form the chamber frame. Printed canvas is used to cover most of the chamber sides. Inside the chamber, sensors and a pump are installed to spray disinfectant mist.

After 2 days of hard work, the production team of Thanh Duong Commune Youth Union successfully manufactured 3 automatic disinfection chambers with each chamber's dimensions: 2.4m high and 1.2m wide.

Thanks to the infrared recognition sensor and fully automatic misting mechanism, users only need to step into the chamber, stand still for 30 seconds, and each person can be disinfected quickly, safely, easily and conveniently.

“As soon as the first disinfection chamber was completed, the design team tested the chamber and saw that it worked well. Everyone was excited and started to complete the remaining two chambers,” said Mr. Tinh.

Mr. Nguyen Sy Bao - Secretary of Thanh Duong Commune Youth Union said: Understanding the structure and operating principles, the production of automatic disinfection chambers is not too complicated. Infrared recognition sensors as well as spray pump systems can be easily purchased on the market, with relatively "soft" prices.

If we can utilize scrap materials to make the chamber, the production of an automatic disinfection chamber will not cost too much, about 3 million VND/chamber, which is many times cheaper than buying on the market. (Currently, the market price is about 15 million VND).

According to Mr. Bao, after the initial successes, the youth of the commune can produce more disinfection chambers to give to agencies and units in the area to contribute to the community's fight against the epidemic.

Mr. Nguyen Tu Hai Phong - Secretary of Thanh Chuong District Youth Union affirmed: In the face of the complicated developments of the Covid-19 pandemic, promoting youth strength, applying science and technology in ensuring conditions for Covid-19 prevention and control, Thanh Duong commune youth is the first unit in the district to successfully research and produce automatic disinfection chambers.

This is one of the meaningful and practical activities of union members and young people in joining hands to prevent and fight epidemics and protect public health.
