LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 24, 2020 /CNW/ - (TSX: NFI) NFI
Parts™, the parts subsidiary of NFI Group Inc. ("NFI"), one of the
world's leading independent bus manufacturers, has partnered with
Eagle Disinfection Group, global distributor of Puradigm, LLC, to
be the exclusive distributor of the Puradigm FLOW 100 system in the
bus and motor coach market.
The FLOW 100 is a Buy America Compliant Proactive Air and
Surface Purification system. It uses proprietary technology to
create advanced purification by producing High Energy Clusters
which are distributed throughout the interior of the vehicle safely
sanitizing both air and surfaces, leaving behind no harmful
residue.
Puradigm recently announced successful testing at the
University of Florida showing its
technology deactivates SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19,
as well as deactivating coronavirus 229E. More information on these
results can be found here.
"We are extremely proud to partner with Eagle Disinfection Group
to add Puradigm's technology to our Clean and Protect product
line-up," said Brian Dewsnup,
President at NFI Parts. "This solution is a fantastic option for
our customer base. The unit runs while a vehicle is in service.
This means there is no down time or additional cleaning during
service; once it has been installed and the vehicle is running, it
continuously disinfects while the vehicle is on the road."
The unit is easy to install and can be placed anywhere on a bus
or coach. It does not interfere with, or void warranties, on any
other systems within the vehicle.
"The unique ability to run safely in the background is a huge
advantage for agencies beginning to ramp-up or restart service as
they work to create confidence in their ridership. Passengers will
feel that the vehicle is a safe place to be," continued Dewsnup.
"We've seen amazing initiatives to increase cleaning and
disinfecting over the past few months but removing vehicles from
service to be sanitized throughout the day is not a sustainable
solution; this will always be time-consuming and costly. The more
we can do to keep buses and coaches moving, the more we can ensure
riders have transportation options they can rely on; the Puradigm
solution helps facilitate this."
Puradigm, LLC offers proactive air and surface purification
solutions which are registered with the Environmental Protection
Agency and that have proven to be safe, scalable and provide 24/7
protection to all indoor environments. Puradigm's technology has
patents around the world and has been validated by many testing
organizations in the reduction of mold, bacteria, virus, and other
harmful pathogens. The Puradigm technology is the most validated in
the industry and can be customized for any indoor environment.
The strong partnership between NFI Parts and its supply network
has resulted in inventory on high demand items to be available for
purchase. Due to the popularity of the Clean and Protect products,
customers are encouraged to reach out to their NFI Parts customer
service representative as quickly as possible to minimize lead
times.
