2020 GreensGroomer The miniZapr® 36" Width 960

GreensGroomer WorldWide answers the synthetic turf sanitation question with the GreenZapr® and miniZapr®. After launching the two Germicidal UVC units, GreensGroomer recognized the need for truly mobile and affordable sanitation solutions for the indoor/institutional market, including sports fitness facilities, nursing homes/assisted living complexes, food-service operations, and hotel/resort properties. The miniZapr is that solution and provides effective control over harmful pathogens by delivering powerful UVC in an easy-to-use, cost-effective solution.

In some circles, germicidal UVC is a new technology. Few know that it has been used by many other industries that now rely on it for sanitation. Developed heavily in the 1920s, UVC technology is now the primary solution when combating micro-organisms. Air, water, and foods are treated every day across the US to secure these important supplies safely and economically.

The challenge GreensGroomer WorldWide faced when adapting the technology to sports turf was its portability and light intensity. Instead of moving material over the static UVC source (as used in air/water purification systems), we had to move the source over the material.

Our solution makes it possible to have true mobility in sports turf settings. It also happens to be exactly what the institutional environment needs and had been looking for.

For UVC light intensity we chose to employ a base reflector module with 8 proprietary, high energy UVC bulbs and a hand-held unit with 2 high energy UVC bulbs. The unit can be powered by an on-board generator (outdoor use) or through a standard 110v wall outlet (with a 50 foot power cord).

Compared to other sanitation techniques, the miniZapr is the most efficient, most cost-effective method available to the institutional maintenance trade.
