The key to a safe manicure is sterile instruments. Today, two types of devices for sterilization are used - glasperlenic and ultraviolet. Glasperlen sterilizer is most often used for gentle and fast processing of a large number of small instruments. Since this equipment has recently appeared on the market, the cost of large models is very tangible, so only elite beauty salons can afford them so far. But compact sterilizers are quite affordable and have already earned popularity among ordinary nail masters.
Glasperlen Sterilizer for Manicure Instruments: Benefits
Devices for sterilizing manicure instruments quickly conquered the market, and this is no coincidence, because before their appearance, all devices used for processingand nail extensions, the craftsmen had to soak or boil in disinfectants for a long time. This method of sterilization had a negative effect on the instrument, causing corrosion, dull edges and deformation. And outdated types of thermal sterilizers were rather bulky and consumed an impressive amount of electricity. Glasperlen sterilizer has a very compact size - the largest model is no larger than an ordinary microwave oven. In addition, high-quality disinfection of scissors, tweezers, cutters, needles and other tools can be done literally in a matter of seconds.
Glasperlen sterilizer device
The size and design of the devices may vary, but any glasperlenic ball sterilizer works on the same principle, because the disinfection flasks have the same structure.
For the manufacture of the flask, heat-resistant metal is used, and the body is made of plastic. The flask is filled with small balls of quartz glass, which has a rather high melting point. This property of quartz allowed it to be used to fill the sterilizer. The metal flask is surrounded by powerful heating elements, which, when turned on, heat it up. Together with the flask, the quartz balls are also heated to a temperature above 240 ºС. Under such conditions, all bacteria, fungi, complex viruses and other microorganisms quickly die.
Sterilization process
Using a glasperlene sterilizer, carry out anypreparatory work before the sterilization of instruments is not necessary. It is enough just to turn on the device and wait about half an hour until the balls warm up to the maximum temperature. After that, an instrument for disinfection is immersed in a flask with quartz. Maximum processing time - 30-40 sec. Please note that the Glasperlene sterilizer can only be used to clean metal manicure instruments, because plastic or other materials will not withstand high temperatures.
Additional requirements
Despite the ease of use of the device, some requirements must be observed to improve the quality of sterilization. The power of a small device is 75 watts. The heating of the balls in it is 30 minutes, however, over time, the thermal conductivity of the balls decreases, due to which they can no longer warm up to 240 ºС. In this regard, it is recommended to completely change the quartz filling annually. Before the sterilization process, the instrumentation must be thoroughly cleaned, then washed in a disinfectant solution. To avoid damage to manicure items, they should be placed in a sterilizer in a dry form. Thermal disinfection is recommended immediately before using the instruments.
Glasperlene sterilizers are a reliable protection against infection with all kinds of dangerous diseases, as well as a guarantee of high-quality work of the master.
