Ultra-Violet Germicidal Irradiation
The Money Zapper harnesses the power of ultraviolet light to kill germs. There is a specific range of ultraviolet light called “UV-C” that destroys the DNA of viruses and other germs. UV-C light has incredible benefits over other forms of disinfectant. There’s no mess, no waste, and it’s easy to contain.
When you insert a dollar into the Money Zapper, it passes between two high power UV-C bulbs. The power of the bulbs combined with their close proximity to the surface means that a very high dose if UV-C light is quickly and evenly applied to the entire bill as it passes through.
Three levels of disinfecting to choose from
The Money Zapper has three different speed settings to choose from. The slower the speed, the more it can disinfect. The fastest speed is very effective, with the ability to kill 99.9% of Influenza in just 2 seconds. But if you want to be extra safe, you can deliver an even higher dose of disinfectant. Our strongest setting delivers a dose of 50 mJ/cm2 , which is enough to kill Anthrax Spores!
