Problems solved by technology

[0005] One of the most serious disadvantages of traditional disinfection devices is that the disinfection process is ineffective, leaving some bacteria, molds and fungi alive, allowing them to multiply again
In fact, depending on the type of bacteria and fungi and in relation to their numbers, the germicidal action of the UV-generating lamps may be ineffective, for example if the footwear is exposed to UV light for too short a time

Abstract

A method and an apparatus for sterilizing footwear by heat and ultraviolet rays are described. Such a method is characterized by comprising a first step wherein the footwear are carried from the entrance to the exit of the sterilization chamber, or chambers, by a carrying device, and a second step of sterilizing the footwear by heat and ultraviolet rays inside the sterilization chamber, or chambers. Preferably the sterilizing step comprises a first sterilizing step by heat only and a subsequent sterilizing step by ultraviolet rays only inside two distinct and preferably reciprocally in succession sterilization chambers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a footwear disinfection method and device, in particular to a shoe disinfection method and device. More specifically, the method and device according to the invention make it possible to sterilize shoes at the end of the production process, before their storage and subsequent transport for sale of the product. Background technique [0002] A sanitization process at the end of the footwear production process is necessary to eliminate the bacteria, molds and fungi eventually present and to prevent their multiplication during storage and transport of said footwear before distribution. [0003] In order to sanitize said footwear and thus eliminate bacteria, molds and fungi, it is well known in the art to treat the object to be sanitized with the action of ultraviolet rays, which are in fact immune to this type of radiation and can kill them. Said prior art includes devices that take advantage of the action of ultraviolet rays for ...
