How does international express delivery ensure "safety"? UV disinfection equipment comprehensively improves disinfection efficiency.

On January 17, Beijing held a press conference on COVID-19 prevention and control, reporting the source tracing of a locally confirmed Omicron case on the 15th. The patient had received an international mail item sent from Canada on January 7, which passed through the United States and Hong Kong, China before arriving in Beijing.

According to the patient's self-report, during this period they only came into contact with the outer surface of the mail packaging and the first page of the document, without touching the inner surface of the packaging or other pages. A total of 22 environmental samples were collected from the international mail, including 2 from the outer surface of the packaging, 2 from the inner surface, and 8 from the document pages. All tested positive for nucleic acid, and specific mutation sites of the Omicron variant were detected.

In fact, this is not the first case of local epidemic transmission in our country caused by "object-to-human" transmission. Due to the Omicron variant having a higher viral load, stronger infectivity, and faster transmission speed than previous SARS-CoV-2 strains, it has replaced the Delta variant in the short term to become the dominant global strain, leading to a significantly wider range of transmission. Under these circumstances, several recent local outbreaks in our country were caused by infections resulting from contact with international goods, which then led to local spread. It is reported that the daily average of international mail items is 500,000, posing a severe challenge for logistics centers to implement effective sterilization and disinfection precautions.

With the Spring Festival approaching and coinciding with the New Year Goods Festival on e-commerce platforms, express parcels are experiencing a new peak, and epidemic prevention and control have entered a critical phase. During this special period, the safety of express parcels is even more important to consumers, so it is necessary to strictly implement epidemic prevention and control measures in the express delivery industry.

Guangmingyuan empowers logistics centers to improve disinfection efficiency

According to CCTV News, KyE (Kuayue Express), located near Shenzhen Airport, is still handling a large volume of logistics parcels around the airport. Ensuring the safety of express packages and achieving comprehensive disinfection is the primary challenge facing the logistics center. At the same time, KyE urgently needs to improve item disinfection efficiency to cope with the tight and busy Spring Festival logistics workload. Therefore, adding efficient and rapid sterilization and disinfection equipment has become KyE's top priority.

The sterilization and disinfection equipment added by Kuayue Express comes from Guangmingyuan's SafeGlo™ all-around UV disinfection conveyor. The equipment has passed the disinfection efficacy verification by Guangzhou Zhongke Testing and Guangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention, with qualified test results. Its disinfection effect meets national hygiene evaluation standards, and it has completed nationwide registration of disinfection products.

Unlike traditional disinfection methods, the SafeGlo™ all-around UV disinfection conveyor uses high-intensity UVC germicidal technology to disrupt the molecular structure of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or RNA (ribonucleic acid) in bacteria and viruses, causing growth-related cell death and/or reproductive cell death, thereby achieving sterilization and disinfection. Under high-intensity exposure, it achieves a 99%–99.9% sterilization rate in just 5 seconds, offering high efficiency, speed, and convenience, comprehensively helping the logistics industry improve express delivery disinfection efficiency.

The SafeGlo™ all-around UV disinfection conveyor adopts an independent disinfection mode, providing full-coverage irradiation to all six surfaces of objects during transmission. Items such as cold-chain goods, packaging boxes, e-commerce parcels, and checked luggage can achieve "comprehensive, no-blind-spot" UV disinfection, easily meeting disinfection needs in various scenarios and helping to break the chain of COVID-19 transmission.

5-second rapid sterilization and disinfection, eliminating "secondary pollution" from disinfectants

Two staff members work at two ports: one places express parcels onto the conveyor and waits for the all-around UV disinfection conveyor to sterilize them, while the other handles sorting. Disinfecting a single parcel takes only 5 seconds. The report video clearly shows that staff at the Shenzhen Kuayue Express Center coordinate seamlessly with the all-around UV disinfection conveyor, achieving more thorough disinfection while significantly boosting work efficiency.

A representative of Kuayue Express stated that, in addition to using conveyor belt sterilization, a cargo green code system has been added. The combined use of all-around UV disinfection conveyor belts and the green code system achieves "simultaneous prevention for people and goods," strictly controlling express delivery safety. From the sorting warehouse to the pickup storefront, strict control is maintained to actively implement epidemic prevention and control measures.

Furthermore, thanks to the roller-designed channel of Guangmingyuan's all-around UV disinfection conveyor, it offers excellent shock resistance and load-bearing capacity. The spacious disinfection area accommodates logistics parcels of various sizes for sterilization. As seen in news videos, even large parcels can pass through the channel with ease, eliminating the need for separate disinfection of oversized packages. Additionally, the conveyor utilizes UV disinfection technology, requiring no chemical disinfectants during the process. This ensures no residue or pollution, preventing "secondary contamination." It not only improves work efficiency but also significantly reduces consumable usage and labor costs. Preliminary estimates suggest that this system can save logistics centers over 50% in costs within the parcel disinfection stage.
