Abstract - In this paper it represents the aim of any place to
be free from covid-19 Virus and other contagious diseases
which are spreading due to touch and contact with each other
by using following automatic sanitization process. This
dispenser is contactless and will spray sanitizer for
sanitization of hands/whole body while entering into the
buildings like Hospitals, Office complexes, shopping Malls,
auditoriums, public places, apartments, schools, colleges,
places of worship, other public places etc.
As the global Covid-19 crisis continues to unfold, washing and
sanitization of hands have become an absolute necessity in
daily affairs. Automatic mist-based sanitizer dispensing
systems is very useful resource in the fight against corona
virus and contagious diseases. This contact less dispensing
system helps to sanitize hands without getting in contact with
the sanitizing surfaces and will help to reduce spread through
cross contamination.

1. INTRODUCTION
Corona Virus disease (Covid19) is wreaking havoc in the
world. Ever since WHO announced it as a Pandemic disease
and many cities are under lockdown, people are not able to
step out of their homes and already thousands have lost
their lives [1]. As the global Covid-19 crisis continues to
unfold, washing and sanitization of hands have become an
absolute necessity in daily affairs [2]. Automatic mist-based
sanitizer dispensing systems is very useful resource in the
fight against corona virus. This contact less dispensing
system helps to sanitize hands without getting in contact
with the sanitizing surfaces and will help to reduce spread
through cross contamination. This contactless dispensing
unit sprays alcohol-based sanitizer when both hands are
placed under it. The aerated mist-based formula uses only 5-
6ml. of sanitizer ensuring optimum usage. It releases full
cone spray mist for 12 seconds in single operation.
Contactless technology works on Ultrasonic sensor to ensure
zero touch, high operational precision to completely
disinfect both hands at once. It could be wall mountable with
LEDs displays to indicate on/off status and the progress of
the process. The capacity tank ensures longer duration of
usage thus eliminating hassle of refilling it frequently. The
sanitizer container allows displaying the quantity in it. Poor
or inadequate hand washing and/or hand hygiene is known
to be problematic in hospital settings, and is a major source
of infections contracted while patients are admitted to a
hospital. While hand washing and hygiene policies and
training are important and can be effective in reducing the
spread of infections, the problem of infections due to
unsatisfactory hygiene of staff, medical professionals, and
even patients continues to be problematic [3]. It is known to
place hand washing stations and hand sanitizer dispensers
throughout medical facilities including in examination
rooms, hallways, lobbies, and even patient rooms. However,
such systems are purely mechanical and are incapable of
providing an automated means of establishing accountability
of good hygienic practices.
The need of touch-less automatic dispenser is identified after
observing that it is the point of contact for contamination. In
this paper we present a novel design of automatic hand
sanitizer dispenser with counter circuit which provide
information regarding number of persons in particular
building. The circuit includes an ultrasonic sensor HC-SR04.
The sensor senses the proximity of hands under the
machine. The machine is designed for wall mount at a height
of 4ft such that anyone can reach to get sanitizer dispense.
The sensor send signal to the microcontroller and the
controller takes decision to actuate the pump and valve
simultaneously to dispense the liquid sanitizer through a
mist nozzle [4,5].
2. Automatic Sprayer Why?
We all know that hand washing is a key component to public
and personal health. Hospitals, clinics and other medical
facilities benefit from patients, staff and visitors reducing the
number of germs and contaminants on their hands. Offices,
administrative buildings, foodservice spaces and other
workplaces benefit from customers and employees with
clean hands. Regular hand washing helps fight the spread of
viruses and bacteria that can cause illness, reduce workplace
productivity and affect morale.
Automatic sanitizer sprayer does not have to be
touched in order to be activated. This touch less
technology reduces that number of germs, bacteria and
viruses people come into contact with. Manual sanitizer
and bars of soap can harbor the dirt and germs of the
last person to use them, spreading them to the next
user.
By this we reduce the spreading of corona virus and
many more spreading viruses from one to another
person in very efficient and effective way.
