a moving handrail;
a first sterilizing unit which is disposed so as to be in contact with one side of the moving handrail and wipes away foreign substances on a surface of the handrail;
a sterilizing panel which is disposed on one side of the first sterilizing unit and irradiates the first sterilizing unit with ultraviolet rays and plasma;
a second sterilizing unit, which is spaced a certain distance from the first sterilizing unit along the direction in which the moving handrail moves, is provided below the moving handrail and provides a sterilizing agent to the moving handrail; and
an air blower fan which is disposed between the second sterilizing unit and the moving handrail and blows air to uniformly supply the sterilizing agent to the moving handrail,
wherein the air blower fan forms an airflow to evenly deliver chlorine dioxide gas onto the surface of the moving handrail.
