September 1, 2006—SANYO Electric Co., Ltd., (SANYO) a leading provider of environment and energy related products and services, has introduced five products with the ‘virus washer’ system, which removes airborne viruses and allergens with electrolyzed water. The new products will be sold in Japan starting in September 2006.
SANYO’s virus washer system suppresses and removes bacteria without the use of any chemicals. This system utilizes tap water and SANYO’s proprietary electrolyzed water technology.
SANYO’s line-up of products with the virus washer system ranges from home use to commercial use, providing comfort and safety for everyday life.
They are: a commercial air purifying system (VW-VF10B); a ceiling-mounted cassette unit for packaged air conditioner (VW-SN07A); a home use air purifier (ABC-VW24); a home use vaporizing type humidifier (CFK-VW50G); and a home use ceramic fan heater with humidifier (RSF-VW500).
SANYO started employing electrolyzed water technology in products in 1987, for a cup type vending machine and has continued to develop products that utilize electrolyzed water. In May 2006, SANYO’s ‘virus washer’ system was proven effective in suppressing avian influenza viruses.
