 Face shield
for protection against COVID-19
pandemic
Centre for Advanced Studies (CAS-AKTU) Lucknow and Central Institute
of Plastic Engineering and Technology (CIPET) Lucknow joints hands
together for developing face shields at nominal cost to medical and needy
departments. Four M.Tech students of Mechatronics first year, Mr. Avinash
Bhaskar, Mr. Deepak Chandra Joshi, Mr. Nitin Singh and Mohd. Ilyas have
been working under the guidance of Dr. Anuj Kumar Sharma for developing
the face shield.
An innovative FACE SHEILD has been designed and
developed in house at CAS, AKTU Lucknow for doctors,
nurses and other paramedical staff. It is capable of
protecting the spillage of contaminants coming from
patients during sneezing and coughing of patients on
medical staff’s face, thus ensures primary safety. The
product is commercialized and is available for sale by
CIPET at a very nominal price to interested
organizations.
AKGEC Fablab, an Innovation lab has
come out with an idea to develop low
cost and effective Face Shield using 3D
printing technology. Mr. Vikram Singh
Rajput (Assistant Professor) of Ajay
Kumar Garg Engineering College
Ghaziabad has developed the face
shields which is used to protect the face
of the healthcare personnel
KIET Group of Institutions Ghaziabad has made an
economical face shield for protection against corona-virus.
Fabrication cost for a single piece claimed is Rs.13/- with 4
minutes of manufacturing time. This face shield is made
using the plastic hair bands and transparent sheet which
covers the face completely. Raw material is readily
available. The face shield is developed by Mr. Sachin
Rathore (Assistant Professor) & DR. K. L. A Khan
(Professor) of KIET Group of Institutions Ghaziabad and
donated to Ghaziabad police and health personnel.

 Automatic hand sanitizer dispenser

Centre for Advanced Studies AKTU Lucknow

This machine is designed and developed in house
by Dr. Anuj Kumar Sharma and his team for
dispensing the required quantity of hand sanitizer
on putting the palm under the dispensing nozzle
as and when required. This machine is equipped
with a sensor which dispenses the sanitizer by
sensing the palm of the person as soon as it
comes under the nozzle. The nozzle is timed by a
relay to dispense required quantity of sanitizer
with the flexibility of changing the discharge time
and thus varing the quantity of sanitizer as per the
requirement of the user.
This machine is designed by CAS-AKTU and
fabricated with the help of our industry partner
Mayank Enterprises and Infolink Lucknow.

Pranveer Singh Institute of Technology (PSIT)

Kanpur
Dr. Manish Kumar, Dr. Y.M. Dubey and Mr.
Rajnarayan Sharma of Institute have developed
this machine for dispensing the required
quantity of hand sanitizer on placing the palm
under the dispensing nozzle. This machine is
equipped with a sensor. It is a compact machine
and can be kept in very small space. It is very
economical and easy to operate.
 Sanitizing Chamber
for sanitizing the PPE kits and protective
shields used for paramedical staffs
Centre for Advanced Studies AKTU Lucknow
The sanitizing chamber is designed and developed
by Dr. Anuj Kumar Sharma and his team for
sanitizing the personal protection equipment (PPE)
which are used by doctors and paramedical staff in
hospitals or even outside. There is shortage of PPE
kits and even the PPE kits used by the staff in
normal wards can be reused after getting it sanitized
with appropriate technology.
The sanitizing chamber is based on two
technologies; firstly, the Ultra violet light exposure in
which UV type C lams are used. The type C UV light
has a wavelength of almost 100-280 nm which is
capable of damaging the DNA of bacteria, viruses
and other pathogens, secondly the aerosols
generated from the alcohol based sanitizer is used.
The exposure of the surfaces to the aerosols of
alcohol based sanitizer disinfects the surface and
make it free from virus contaminations. This is a very
effective solution to sanitize the PPE kits and other
protective items like face shield, goggles etc. The
chamber has sufficient space where even a man can
enter easily inside the chamber and the kits can be
hanged upon hangers and small items can be placed
over the tray for sanitization. After closing the door,
the UV lamps can be switched on as per the
required usage while rotating the kits so as to get
maximum exposure. Thereafter the fogging machine
installed inside can be switched on which fills the
compartment with the aerosols of alcohol based
sanitizer to kill the viruses left, if any. This machine is
designed by CAS-AKTU and fabricated with the help
of our industry partner Mayank Enterprises and
Infolink Lucknow.
 Universal Portable sanitizing machine
for sanitizing the small gadgets carried by
doctors and paramedical staffs like watch,
spectacles, stethoscope etc.
Centre for Advanced Studies AKTU Lucknow
The universal portable sanitizing machine is
designed and developed by Dr. Anuj Kumar
Sharma and his team for sanitizing the small
items including electronic items like wrist watch,
spectacles, ring, stethoscope, wallet etc. carried
by doctors and paramedical staff in hospitals or
even outside.
This machine is based on two technologies;
firstly, the Ultra violet light exposure in which UV
type C lams are used. The type C UV light has a
wavelength of almost 100-280 nm which is
capable of damaging the DNA of bacteria, viruses
and other pathogens.
Secondly, the aerosols generated from the
alcohol based sanitizer is used. The exposure of
the surfaces to the aerosols of alcohol based
sanitizer disinfects the surface and make it free
from virus contaminations.
There is a small container fitted in side the
machine in which different items can be placed
simultaneously. After closing the door, the
chamber starts rotating and the UV lamps are
switched on for required time. The rotation of
chamber helps in providing maximum exposure
to each and every corner of the items placed
inside. Thereafter, the spraying an alcohol based
sanitizer is sprayed over the objects to sanitize
those for making them fit for reuse. This machine
is designed by CAS-AKTU and fabricated with
the help of our industry partner Mayank
Enterprises and Infolink Lucknow.
 Sanitizing tunnel “Suddhi Surang”
for sanitizing the luggage passing
through it on conveyor belt

Centre for Advanced Studies AKTU Lucknow

The sanitizing tunnel is designed and
developed by Dr. Anuj Kumar Sharma and
his team for sanitizing the luggage. This
tunnel can be kept at the entry gate of
railway stations, airports, post office or at
any premises where luggage handling is
major concern. As the luggage placed on
the conveyor belt comes in the range of the
sensor installed at the entry of tunnel, the
nozzles start spraying the sanitizer as
recommended by WHO in its guidelines.

This machine is based on the technology in

which various nozzles are attached in side
the tunnel at different locations with
different orientations so as to cover the
whole luggage surface from every direction.
The sanitizer is sprayed through nozzles at
regulated and controlled flow of air and
sanitizer. The exposure of the surfaces to
the aerosols of sanitizer disinfect the outer
exposed surface and make it free from
virus contaminations.
This machine is designed by CAS-AKTU
and fabricated with the help of our industry
partner Mayank Enterprises and Infolink
Lucknow.

electronic system and the components of the band are
microcontroller, temperature sensor, blood oxygen sensor, heart
beat rate sensor, display, Wi-Fi module, and a battery. All these
components are integrated together. All the sensors used in the
band will sense the three body parameters (temperature, heart
beat and blood oxygen level) from time to time and the data
will be monitored. This data may be uploaded and recorded
with the help of the Wi-Fi module and microcontroller. The data
of every patient can be monitored and extended to isolation
central control room. The data can also be seen live. The
developed health band can be given to the patient at the time,
when he/she gets admitted to isolation or a Quarantine Centre.
