Entkeimung - Desinfektion

Loss of working hours

Every year, countless employees fall ill due to the seasonal flu (influenza) or currently the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

The UV-C Power from NetralAir neutralizes the air by killing viruses, bacteria and germs. This can reduce or prevent loss of working hours.

Risk of infection

Aerosols are the smallest particles that are produced when speaking, breathing, coughing or sneezing. These droplets are smaller than 5 micrometers and can therefore float in the air for a long time. If the aerosols are contaminated with viruses, the risk of becoming infected increases. The danger lurks particularly in open-plan offices where many employees work closely together.

UV-C rays are part of the natural sunlight

If microorganisms are exposed to sunlight, UV-C prevents them from multiplying and has a „killing“ effect.

The innovative technology of UV-C disinfection has direct advantages for the user: The technology of UV-C disinfection knows no chemicals, no toxic compounds and no formation of resistance. Unwanted microorganisms become inactive within seconds.

The ultraviolet radiation

Like visible light or radio waves, ultraviolet radiation is an electromagnetic radiation and cannot be perceived by the human eye. By definition, it covers the spectral range from 100 to 380nm and is thus directly related to the blue, visible part of light. The ultraviolet spectrum covers wavelengths up to 380nm and is divided as follows.

UV-A

380-315nm "Black light"

UV-B

315-280nm responsible for sunburn

UV-C

280-200nm Disinfection effect

UV-C-VUV

200-100nm Ozone formation

UV-C rays are filtered out by the ozone layer and HAVE A STRONG DISINFECTING EFFECT

At 100 to 280 nanometers, UV-C light is the shortest wavelength range of ultraviolet light. If the ozone layer is intact, however, this range of ultraviolet light is filtered out of the sun's radiation spectrum before it reaches the earth's surface.

UV-C radiation destroys the binding in the DNA, and thus the cell

Ultraviolet radiation is used to treat water, air and surfaces. Due to the speed of the reaction - Mikroben Microbes are inactivated within fractions of a second at a sufficient dose - UV lamps can be used not only to disinfect surfaces, but also to disinfect water, air or even air streams guided in air conditioning ducts.

Picture: Destruction of a cellular DNA using UV-C rays (functional principle)

Vor der Entwicklung von Laminar-Strömungs -Anlagen für Reinräume Before the development of laminar flow systems for clean rooms and the massive use of disinfectants that is common today, weak ultraviolet emitters working in continuous operation were therefore common in hospitals to keep the germ count low. The increasing Antibiotic resistance The increasing antibiotic resistance of hospital-specific germs could lead to a return of the well-known technology in the near future, since UV-C disinfection cannot develop mutation-related resistances.

Fields of application

- Medicine

- Pharma

- Food industry / production and sales

- Water purification

Germicidal boxes
for table use, stainless steel

The UV-BOX disinfects all kinds of objects such as surgical instruments, medical equipment, watches, jewelry, electrical appliances, etc.

UV-C radiation has been successfully tested in laboratories as a method for decontaminating N95 masks exposed to MS2 bacteriophage and the influenza virus (influenza). Disposable masks can be disinfected up to 18 times.

Objects that are frequently used in the health care sector must be regularly disinfected to ensure compliance with high quality hygiene standards. With the UV-BOX it is possible to disinfect equipment and instruments in a simple, immediate and safe way, without heat generation or the use of liquids and without any chemicals.

UV-FAN with direct irradiation lamps

Mobile UV-C disinfection solution.
Devices of the UV-FAN series are available with or without external lamps.

These devices are used in large meeting rooms, canteens, open-plan offices, churches, gymnasiums, cinemas, discotheques, hospitals and retirement homes.

Air disinfection and sterilization

Air is an important factor in the spread of viruses and bacteria. These are present in the smallest droplets in the air and float through the room. Every airflow, whether caused by a draught or a human being, carries the virus or bacterium further through the air. In this way, these highly infectious germs spread within seconds in this environment and can thus infect other people.

Hand lamps with and without shade

Using mobile hand lamps, objects such as sales counters or refrigerators can be easily disinfected.

They are available with 360° radiation or with lampshade. Depending on the application, you will find the right product here.

Direct irradiation in buildings

The permanently installed UV-C lamps are used to disinfect surfaces and the ambient air. These systems are frequently used in bio-locks, operating rooms, food storage rooms and many more.

Water purification

UV-C radiation is used in drinking water and waste water treatment. UV-C pool sterilisers are becoming increasingly popular. Algae growth can be drastically reduced and germs also have very bad cards.

Thanks to the UV-C technology, the chemical disinfectant "chlorine" can be dispensed with.
