Sterilisation Solutions in Times of COVID-19 

EASY WASH bin sanitisation system

Aiming to be a leading player in the hygiene industry, REK Engineering Machinery Sdn Bhd’s business objective is to provide comprehensive and customised solutions to ensure public health and safety, especially pertinent now with the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide.

Hosts of viruses, bacteria and germs are transmittable through commonly-touched surfaces, providing the opportunity for REK to market its solutions.

Products & Services

REK’s sterilisation solutions are for sterilising trolleys and hand baskets used in shopping malls, airports, hospitals and medical centres; sterilising toys for pre-schools and kindergartens; and baggage sanitisation.  

Currently, REK has two solutions to combat contamination in public spaces. Its Easy Wash is a semi-automated sterilisation and infection control system for sanitary service providers, for example, to sanitise airport baggage. 

Its Netra Sterilisation & Disinfection System, which is portable and comes with a revolutionary sterilisation solution, is for sterilising trolleys and baskets as mentioned above.

How REK Stops Us Carting Germs Around

A study has shown that a shopping trolley has 270 times more bacteria than a toilet handle and 361 times more bacteria than a doorknob. 

About 75% of the bacteria and germs identified on such trolleys are harmful to humans and associated with skin infections, pneumonia, strep throat, and some are even antibiotic-resistant. 

In fact, the handlebars of supermarket trolleys have been identified as one of the main causes of COVID-19, which makes it even more imperative to prevent the spread of the disease. 

These sterilisation systems are the best solution to contain the spread of microorganisms on contact surfaces by efficiently sanitising several carts at a time and in its entirety. Easy Wash and Netra saves time and energy as the employees are not required to clean each cart manually throughout the day.
