The fight against germs

 Take the fight against germs in your home or childcare centre to the next level with a uPang steriliser.

Common in Korea where the machines are manufactured, uPang sterilisers are becoming more and more popular with Australian.

The uPang is water free and chemical free and can be used to sterilise baby bottles, dummies, breast pump parts, toys, toothbrushes, cutlery, mouth guards, remote controls, pet toys and even mobile phones.

They are also ideal for childcare centres and nursing homes.

The machines are manufactured to Australian power standards and imported for the Australian market by Warewashing Solutions.

Spokesman Roger Bacon said the uPang uses ultraviolet C sterilisation technology that is harmless to the human body and is 99.9 per cent effective against pathogenic bacteria, fungi and various infectious diseases.

“You can put things through a dishwasher but it won’t sterilise them,” Mr Bacon explained.

“Whereas the uPang kills the DNA in the bacteria. Similar surface sterilising technology is used in a lot of other areas like water purification, air conditioning systems and in airplanes.”

He said the uPang was easy to use. For example baby bottles are washed and rinsed and then placed in the steriliser. The bottles are heated to a gentle 40 degrees for drying, then the machine automatically switches to UV mode. The whole process takes about 35 minutes.

Bottles can be stored in the uPang, which has a 10 minute re-sterilisation mode.

The uPang 802 is bigger and has a digital display with a countdown timer and also turns itself on every two hours to keep anything stored inside sterilised.

More than 2000 units have been sold so far in Australia and demand is already high for the next shipment.
