What is VHP Robot?
The VHP (Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide) robot is a sterilization robot with a self-propelled function that uses hydrogen peroxide to achieve sterilization and disinfection purposes.
The core technology of this type of robot lies in whether it is completely gaseous hydrogen peroxide (excluding water). Because too much water will corrode environmental equipment and bring disastrous consequences.
Disinfection and Sterilization Process of VHP Robot
Environmental Preparation: Set the relative humidity and temperature in the space to predetermined levels.
Equipment Activation: The robot autonomously moves through the space, quickly raising the concentration of hydrogen peroxide gas.
Maintenance: Sustain the necessary concentration of hydrogen peroxide gas for effective biological decontamination.
Ventilation and Residue Removal: Clear out the hydrogen peroxide gas and water vapor from the space.
Advantages of VHP Sterilization
- Capability to eliminate spores up to 6 log;
- Decomposes into water vapor and oxygen;
- No harmful effects on the environment and human body;
- Low operating costs with the ability to sterilize multiple spaces simultaneously;
- Hydrogen peroxide gas exhibits excellent material compatibility;
- Operates at room temperature, is non-toxic, and leaves no residue;
- No risk of leakage or cross-contamination;
- No sterilization dead zones; can operate with automatic navigation.
Features of the Robotic VHP Generator
- Intelligent Sterilization Mode
- Features autonomous navigation for automatic mobile sterilization.
- Automatically moves from site to site without sterilization during movement.
- Ensures accurate dosing at each site.
- Completes sterilization in a closed-loop operation, automatically returning to the start point.
- Mapping and Navigation
- Capable of autonomously building architectural floor maps in multi-room cleanroom sterilization spaces.
- Sets sterilization sequences based on requirements, defines paths autonomously, and avoids obstacles flexibly.
- Stores over 100 maps; a single map creation can be used multiple times.
- Power Supply and Materials
- Offers dual power supply modes: battery pack and external power source.
- Battery supports continuous sterilization for ≥8 hours.
- Constructed from VHP corrosion-resistant materials used in cleanrooms.
- Design Features
- Equipped with omnidirectional wheels for easy movement; designed to be lightweight.
- Programmable for scheduled and delayed start.

- Includes built-in Wi-Fi for network connectivity.
- Operation and Sterilization Efficiency
- Operation via a computer outside the room using a wireless Wi-Fi connection.
- Supports automatic and manual control operations.
- Ensures rapid and even distribution of hydrogen peroxide gas across the sterilization space.
- Automatically calculates the sterilizing agent’s dosage based on the size of the sterilization space.
- A single VHP generator can deactivate a space of ≥300m³ in under 2 hours, with residual gas concentration below 1ppm post-sterilization.
- Customization
- Offers customization according to customer requirements.
