The Areksan AR-550 is a professional hygiene barrier that integrates footwear sole cleaning and hand disinfection into a single turnstile-controlled unit. Two horizontal brushes, each driven by an independent geared motor, mechanically clean footwear and boot soles, while the touchless hand disinfection unit simultaneously delivers 3–5 ml of disinfectant to both hands. The turnstile mechanism will not grant passage until the disinfection cycle has been completed in full. Designed for food production facilities, pharmaceutical plants, and all industrial environments where hygiene compliance is critical, the AR-550 measures 1000 × 1000 × 1600 mm, weighs 120 kg, and is fabricated from 1.5 mm 304-grade stainless steel.
Turnstile Hygiene System Enforcing Horizontal Brush Sole Cleaning and Touchless Hand Disinfection
Dual Independent Geared Motor Horizontal Brush System
The two horizontal brushes located at the base of the AR-550 are each driven independently by their own dedicated geared motor. This independent motor architecture allows brushing force to be optimized separately for each unit and ensures that the system continues to operate on the remaining brush in the event of a single-unit fault. The brushes mechanically remove soil, organic residues, and biological contaminants from footwear and boot soles, reducing the contamination load carried into the production area at its most direct point of introduction.
Touchless Hand Disinfection and Enforced Turnstile Passage
The hand disinfection unit integrated into the AR-550 automatically delivers 3–5 ml of disinfectant to both hands simultaneously without requiring physical contact. The turnstile mechanism remains locked until the disinfection cycle has been completed, removing hygiene compliance from individual discretion and establishing it as a non-negotiable procedural step. The touchless operating principle eliminates cross-contamination risk during the disinfection process itself and guarantees consistent, standardized dosing across every personnel entry event.
Durable Construction and Modular Turnstile Design
The AR-550 enclosure is fabricated from 1.5 mm thick 304-grade stainless steel, providing high resistance to water, chemical disinfectants, and sustained industrial operating conditions. Turnstile arms are modular in construction and can be removed and reinstalled without specialized tooling, enabling routine maintenance, deep cleaning, and component replacement to be carried out efficiently without interrupting production schedules.
Access Control System Compatibility
The AR-550 operates in full compatibility with all access control units and token systems. The system is controllable via dry contact inputs, TTL and CMOS signal protocols, and supply voltages across the 5–48 V range, enabling seamless integration into existing entry management infrastructure without additional interface hardware. Operating voltage is field-configurable at 110/220 V – 60/50 Hz AC (±10%) or 24 V DC.

Typical Applications
The AR-550 hygiene barrier is deployed across food production and packaging facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturing plants, sterile production environments, and all industrial settings where mandatory hygiene protocols are enforced at entry points. Its compact footprint and integrated sole cleaning and hand disinfection system deliver complete hygiene control even in space-constrained installations. By making bidirectional disinfection mandatory within a single pass, the AR-550 forms a reliable and enforceable link in the facility’s overall hygiene chain.
