MUVGI-8 (UV-C) Mobile Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation Unit
The MUVGI-8 is a high-efficiency mobile UV-C sterilization unit engineered for rapid and chemical-free disinfection. It features a circular arrangement of ultraviolet lamps designed to maximize the uniform distribution of UV-C radiation across all surfaces within the treatment area. This ensures comprehensive microbial inactivation in all directions.
UV-C sterilization is capable of eliminating up to 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens without the use of chemicals, making it ideal for sensitive environments where residue-free sterilization is essential.

How It Works
Ultraviolet light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and UV-C refers specifically to wavelengths between 200–280 nanometers, which fall within the germicidal range. The MUVGI-8 utilizes these short UV-C wavelengths to penetrate and disrupt the DNA and RNA of microorganisms, rendering them inactive and unable to reproduce.
Because UV-C radiation is largely absorbed by the Earth’s atmosphere, it does not naturally occur at ground level in significant quantities—making artificial UV-C devices like the MUVGI-8 a powerful tool for controlled disinfection.
Why Use the MUVGI-8?
Thalheimer’s MUVGI-8 harnesses the proven germicidal effects of UV-C light to eliminate pathogens, viruses, mold, and other microbes from contaminated surfaces and air. By destroying nucleic acids within microorganisms, it prevents replication and promotes a sterile environment.
To maintain peak performance, the UV-C lamps require regular cleaning and annual replacement, as dust and residues can reduce UV output and limit effectiveness.
Applications
The MUVGI-8 is suitable for a wide range of professional environments, including but not limited to:
- Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities:
Used in operating rooms, patient rooms, laboratories, and clinics to reduce healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Studies show UV-C can eliminate up to 97.7% of pathogens in surgical environments, helping combat antibiotic-resistant “superbugs.”
- Medical and Forensic Laboratories:
Provides a high level of microbial control in sterile research and testing environments.
- Food Markets and Processing Areas:
Effective in disinfecting areas used for fish, meat, vegetables, and other perishable goods—essential for hygiene in food retail and gastronomy industries.
Safety and Precautions
While highly effective, UV-C radiation is harmful to humans upon direct exposure. Potential risks include:
- Skin Damage: UV-C exposure can cause burns and increase the risk of skin cancer.
- Eye Injury: Direct or reflected UV-C can result in severe eye inflammation (photokeratitis), temporary or permanent vision loss, or retinal damage.
- Ozone Generation: UV-C light can produce ozone, which, while beneficial in the upper atmosphere, can be hazardous at ground level and affect respiratory health.
Proper operating procedures, shielding, and safety training are essential when using UV-C disinfection systems.
SHORT TREATMENT TIMES
MUVGI-8 enables room disinfection in only 5 – 10 minutes.
NO WAITING TIMES REQUIRED
After finishing the UV disinfection, the room can be used immediately.
