Mitsubishi Elevators: Clean Air Solutions with ASPRA

Ensuring Safe Elevator Rides with M-Care ASPRA

Elevators serve as essential transport hubs, but their enclosed spaces create an elevated risk for airborne contamination. Research shows that aerosols, including virus particles such as those from COVID-19, can remain airborne for 20–30 minutes in elevators.Seeking a reliable solution to this problem, Mitsubishi partnered with VFA Solutions. Together, they developed the M-Care ASPRA, a specialized air cleaner designed for use in both new and existing elevators, actively purifying the air and reducing the risk of aerosol-based contamination.

Detailed Process

1. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION —Elevators are essential for daily transport in buildings, but their confined space creates a significant risk for airborne contamination.

Research shows that aerosols, including virus particles such as Corona, can remain suspended in the air for 20–30 minutes, increasing the likelihood of transmission. Mitsubishi sought an effective solution to mitigate this risk and ensure the safety of elevator users.

The Solution

2. THE SOLUTION —To address the challenge, VFA Solutions developed the M-Care ASPRA, a specialized air cleaner tailored for elevator use. This compact and efficient air purifier actively cleans the air in both new and existing elevators, significantly reducing aerosol concentrations.By integrating advanced ASPRA technology, the M-Care ASPRA effectively minimizes contamination risks in this critical environment.

The Result

3. THE RESULT —The M-Care ASPRA delivers clean and purified air in elevators, reducing the concentration of aerosols and the associated contamination risks.With this innovative solution, Mitsubishi ensures safer elevator rides, providing peace of mind to users and contributing to healthier indoor transport spaces.
