Technologies for garment disinfecting

(c) 2020 Tonello
Tonello wants to inform people about its complete range of technologies for garment disinfecting to guarantee the consumer’s maximum safety from the producer to the shop.

There is a gas that has been used for over 100 years to disinfect, sterilize, render non-toxic water, air, and surfaces in the fields of food, medicine, pharmaceutical, etc. This gas is lethal for various pathogens and for most viruses because it alters their RNA and DNA, and, at high concentrations, it also undermines the capsid, or external protein shell. Several authoritative scientific studies * show, it is effective in 99% of cases. 

We’re talking about Ozone.

Since 2010 Tonello has been producing technologies that use ozone reliably and safely. These technologies are also used to sanitize and disinfect garments, accessories, and equipment.

Today, in the midst of the global emergency caused by the COVID-19 virus, the company is particularly happy to present the complete Tonello sanitizing range, from production to the shop: in fact, the disinfecting technology can be installed on all of the washing and dying machines, while a specific software upgrade will allow conversion of the ozone technologies already in use for the treatment of denim (Ofree, ECOfree or ECOfree 2) to also allow sanitizing and disinfecting.

And for those who are not yet using Tonello washing and dyeing machines?

In this case, the definitive solution is SaniCare, a new range of static cabinets for sanitizing, and disinfecting garments, accessories, and protective devices.

Available in different sizes and adaptable to all commercial environments; it is very easy to use, allowing garments to be re-readied for trying on or for sale in just a few minutes.

In fact, SaniCare neutralizes most known pathogens: the customer in a shop can thus try on garments with complete confidence that there are no dangerous viruses, fungi, dermatitis, or other annoying dermatological contaminations, etc. lurking on the garments.

One day, hopefully very soon, the COVID-19 will be defeated, but something has already changed forever, even, and above all in the habits of consumers and the increasingly attentive and aware requests from the final customer.

"And among those values that we would not want to give up, and which we can no longer give up, garment wholesomeness will undoubtedly continue to be found. That is something that for us has been the “mantra” forever", a Tonello spokesman said.

Texprocess 2026: Automation, digitalisation and AI redefine textile processing

Making investment decisions in textile processing has become significantly more demanding. Increasing energy costs, a shortage of skilled labour and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties are compelling companies to focus on technologies that deliver clear gains in efficiency and process reliability.
