MultiMeasure Basic or MultiMeasure Professional Series – that is the question

Posted on by Tim Austin

Trotec Multimeasure Basic Series
After having yesterday introduced our readers to the merits of the MultiMeasure Professional Series, a series comprising a range of high-quality precision measuring devices designed to provide professionals with the tools they need to measure moisture in building materials, wood, walls, floors and ceilings and a variety of different parameters including air temperature, air velocity, air flow rate and relative humidity, it would seem only appropriate to present the virtues of another much-acclaimed series from Trotec, the MultiMeasure Basic Series – and to answer the question that many of our readers will be asking themselves: which one is better?

The answer: neither of them is better.

The MultiMeasure Professional Series is, as the name implies, a series developed by professionals who have accumulated years of experience in the fields of fire and water damage restoration, construction diagnostics and thermographic imaging and then harnessed this experience and know-how to provide other professionals with the measuring tools they need to carry out their own specific applications.

The MultiMeasure Basic Series has the same high standard of quality and the same aspirations as the Professional Series: to provide the people who use the measuring devices with the best possible tool for their own individual applications and the best possible price for each of our products.

The difference between the two series is not a quality issue. It is a matter of application. The MultiMeasure Basic Series is designed for users who are looking for a low-price entry model that does not comprise on quality. These models are not equipped with all the functions and features one’s heart could desire, they are equipped with just the features and functions you would expect to find in a model that provides you with the basic means to do exactly what you want it to do – without any of the unnecessary and costly paraphernalia which you often find in more expensive models.

The models in the MultiMeasure Basic Series have been honed to meet the demands of semi-professional applications. Applications that you can carry out in your home, in the workplace, during your free-time or at when at work. Two models which illustrate the strengths and – erm, strengths – of the series exceptionally well are the exceptionally popular BC15 thermohygrometer and the equally successful BM30 moisture meter.

The BC15 is a hand-held measuring device designed to determine the ambient temperature and relative humidity in the home, the office, in production lines and laboratories and even in florists. Features like a crisp, clear, easy-to-read backlit display, soft-touch keys and min and max hold functions are all features which you would expect to find in much higher-priced models and ones which you would sorely miss on less well-equipped ones.

The BM30 measures moisture in walls, floors and ceilings using the non-destructive method. This means that you no longer have to tear any holes in your walls or ceilings or rip up floors to detect moisture before then digging deeper to determine the cause or the source. Nowadays you can comfortably rely on the meter’s dielectric measuring method to provide you with the necessary information. The BM30 is equipped with the same excellent features as the BC15: backlit display, soft-touch keys, min and max hold function and an auto power off function which saves energy and conserves battery power. As you can see, it pays to go green.

These then are the arguments in favour of each series. You decide which series is better for you, because you decide on the application.

But no matter what model you choose, or which series – the MultiMeasure Professional Series or the MultiMeasure Basic Series – you simply can’t go wrong with Trotec.

Trotec MultiMeasure Profesional Series – Developed by professionals for professionals

Posted on by Tim Austin

Measuring instruments professional series

“A workman is only as good his tools.”

There’s a lot of truth in this old saying. There are exceptions of course: tennis players like the legendary Rod Laver, the extremely-talented but hapless three-time Wimbledon runner-up Andy Roddick and the notoriously incorrigible Wimbledon champion Bobby Riggs, who in his later years also achieved legendary status by challenging the all-time great Wimbledon Ladies tennis champion, Billy Jean King, to a match dubbed “The Battle of the Sexes” to prove his theory of male dominance – only then to get wiped off the court in straight sets – all at least at one time in their career swapped their sophisticated, hi-tech tools – their tennis rackets – for a simple kitchen utensil – a frying pan – in a display of their skill, knowledge, experience and ability – and still won !

But these are just that – exceptions. Generally speaking, it would be safe to say: the better the tool, the better the job you can do with it. This is why Trotec designed the MultiMeasure Professional Series, a high-quality series designed to provide you
with only the best in tools, a series designed by professionals for professionals. Professionals who themselves have been out in the field and who have spent years in the field of humidification and dehumidification, indoor climate conditioning, construction diagnostics and infrared thermographic imaging. Years in which they were able to gain a wealth of information, know-how and experience which they then channeled into a series of tools that measure a variety of different parameters ranging from relative humidity, air and surface temperature and air velocity and volume to moisture in building materials, wood and different surfaces.
The MultiMeasure Professional Series comprises of high-precision measuring instruments famed for combining cutting-edge technology and ergonomic design with an extremely high degree of accuracy, reliability and robustness. Measuring devices like the T 660 moisture meter, a hand-held moisture meter which bears all the hallmarks of a reliable and superior device “made in Germany” and which is able to detect moisture up to a depth of 4cm below the surface of floors, walls and ceilings. Or the T 2000 S, a multi-measuring device par excellence which is especially popular among professionals like architects, surveyors and engineers who appreciate the device’s accuracy, reliability and flexibility and who use it for a whole host of non-destruction applications to determine air, surface and material temperatures and moisture in a sheer endless number of woods and building materials.

Yet despite the fact that the tools in the MultiMeasure Professional Series incorporate state-of-the-art technology and that they are built to last, they don’t come with the price tag you would expect to pay for such a piece of professional equipment. This means that they do not only provide you with accurate and reliable readings, they also provide you with excellent value for money.

And as if that were not enough, the MultiMeasure Professional Series comes complete with a wide range of accessories which make it easier for you to select just the sensor or electrode you need to carry out your own individual application.

So why make do with a frying pan? Buy yourself a measuring device in the MultiMeasure Professional Series from Trotec and feel the difference.

Allergy sufferers beware – 3 out of 4 GPs get it wrong

Posted on by Tim Austin

According to the leading allergy portal myallergo.de, 3 out of 4 GPs are failing to diagnose that it is an allergy that is plaguing their patients and not a just a common cold when the people who visit their surgeries complain about symptoms which if not scrutinised carefully could easily be linked to influenza-liked illnesses, the collective term for colds, flu and similar infections.

But were these GPs to dig deeper, they would soon discover that contrary to common colds whose symptoms normally subside after 7 to 10 days at the latest, what they often have on their hands is an allergic reaction which can generally last a lot longer and often recurs within a very short period. Here it would perhaps pay for doctors to listen a little more intently to their patients’ woes – and for the patients to open up and even quiz their GPs on certain points instead of just swallowing the medicine.

But once the doctors – or the patients themselves – have got it right and pinpointed the source of their suffering, then action must be taken to not only relieve the symptoms, which the sufferers themselves are understandably acutely interested in easing, but more importantly still to eliminate the actual cause.

People who react to pollen, pet hairs and house dust can protect themselves and their home by using a dehumidifier, or in the winter months a Used B400 humidifier plus two free SecoSan Stick 10., to clean the ambient air. Not only do both types of appliances regulate the relative humidity in the rooms in which they have been installed, more importantly still for allergy sufferers perhaps they are all equipped with efficient, easy-to-remove and easy-to-clean air filters which effectively filter airborne particles like pollen, pet hairs and house dust out of the air thereby nipping the cause of the allergy in the bud. This would make these appliances a more than sound investment as they do not only improve the quality of life, they also save money that is often ploughed into often unnecessary medication.

So don’t wait for your GP to get it right – or wrong – buy a humidifier or dehumidifier today and make life that much more livable.

A tale of little big helpers and mighty machines – adsorption dryers in the TTR series

Posted on by Tim Austin

What might at first sight look very much like it has something to do with a fairytale or tale of fantasy is in fact a very down-to-earth entry on a selection of extremely versatile and efficient pieces of equipment – adsorption dryers from Trotec.

The adsorption dryers in the TTR series come in all shapes and sizes – and a variety of different designs too. They range from the shiny, steel-plated, compact TTR 160 and the similarly-sized and similarly low-priced TTR 250 to the extremely powerful six-foot plus models, the TTR 8000 or TTR 9500, each of which is able to turnover a massive 8,000 or 9,500 cubic metres of processed air in only one hour respectively.

The adsorption dryers in the TTR series are designed especially for industrial use. One of their many outstanding strong points is their ability to reduce the relative humidity both quickly and reliably and then effectively keeping it down to values as remarkably low as 10 or even only 5 percent!

Such exceptionally low relative humidity values would make a person feel extremely uncomfortable to say the least, but they are needed in many fields in the pharmaceutical and the food industry where it is essential that the products are manufactured and stored in cool and dry environments.

compact TTR adsorption dryers
TTR-dehumidifiers – compact adsorption dryers such as these are installed when water has been used to extinguish a house fire. This is one of the first steps that are taken. It is carried out by fire and water damage restoring experts to prevent hydrochloric acid dew from forming in order to protect the rest of your furniture and possessions against further damage. The dryers are also used as a precautionary measure to stop mould or corrosion from occurring in industrial scenarios. The big little helpers do not hold back with regard to performance and are able to dry up to 90 kg in only 24 hours. And that’s not all: the TTR-Series also comprises Ex-protected models for special use in Ex-protected areas.

Adsorption drying units of the TTR series
And there’s the jumbo-sized TTR drying units for use in jumbo-sized ship holds to combat corrosion or to ensure that unheated rooms like those found in pump stations remain dry and free of damage caused by excess moisture.. Models like these are packed with cutting-edge technology and come complete with know-how acquired as a result of years of experience in the field of industrial and commercial drying and dehumidification – and the feedback that constantly occurs between the individual divisions of the Trotec Group.

And last but by no means least there are our Ex-protected models – units designed especially for drying processes in Ex-protected areas. These models carry all the hallmarks of the other units in the TTR-Series with the exception that they are additionally equipped with special safety features so that they can be used in high-risk areas, like bunkers, for example.

You would rather hire than buy? Then go to straight to TKL, the name in dispatch hiring…

As we said at the outset – it’s not about a fairytale, although the prices are, well, fairly fantastic and hard to believe!

Did you know that an air purifier can cut company costs?

Posted on by Tim Austin

Air purifier can cut company costs

And even save your company?

Sounds simple. And it is.

With another week – and weekend – of showery weather and blustery winds behind us, even the most optimistic and stout-hearted cohorts will have trouble convincing the rest of their colleagues that summer is not over yet that autumn is not just round the corner, but still a long way off.

Although autumn is officially still a full five weeks off, sneezing fits, raspy coughs and running noses seem to greet you wherever you go – on the bus, on the train, in banks, bistro, shops and public places – and in the office, the production area and the workplace.

Workforce expenditure can make up a significant share of the running costs of a company. And if people are off work and have to stay at home because they are suffering from bad colds, flu or other infections, then this will have a serious effect on the company’s budget, especially if the strain or virus reaches epidemic proportions. No people, no productivity.

Yet although many companies – and many small businesses – know that there is a battle to be fought against high sickness rates and lost work hours, they do not fully realise the implications which a flu epidemic, for example, could have on their standing and their prospective performance in the long-run. As the last flu epidemic showed, some businesses are totally unable to cope with the situation when a large portion of their workforce is taken ill and it is left for a skeleton workforce to carry on making the company tick over and avert the worst from happening.

Far be it from a company like ours to spread fear and uncertainty or sew anxiety and sound like scare mongers, but according to the WHO, the World Health Organisation, and the renowned Robert Koch Institute there are serious grounds for concern that the next outbreak of flu could occur on a pandemic scale – and that it could even be worse than the last. Experts also warn of a new “superbug” that is even resistant to the strongest antibiotics: there have been 44 reported cases of patients who have been diagnosed as having been exposed to NDM-1, the new gene that has its name from New Delhi, the place where it was first identified before subsequently defecting to Pakistan and the UK. A study in The Lancet Infestions Deseases draws attention to the severity of the situation and states that “ a worldwide public health problem is great”.

So how, if at all, can you protect yourself, your loved ones – and your company or business – from such a pandemic?

Hygiene management. It’s that easy.

Steps should be taken immediately to ensure that you and your staff are protected. With work safety clothes and respiratory masks – and air purifiers. The air purifiers from Trotec are equipped with HEPA and HyperHEPA filters which are so effective that they can filter up to 99.97 % of all particles larger than 0.3 microns and more than 99.5 % of even the smallest particles (e.g. viruses).

Models like the splendidly sophisticated but easy-to-use HealthPro 150, the universally versatile HealthPro 250, which scored highly with Germany’s consumer product watchdog “Stiftung Warentest”, not least of all because of its particle retention qualities which made it the most suitable of the tested models for allergy sufferers, and the professional Cleanroom 250 MG which is so efficient that it is certified as being suitable for use in intensive wards, operating theatres, food and medicinal production and processing facilities and data storage and server rooms.

Air purifiers from Trotec can protect you, your staff and your company against risks which could blow out of all proportion and rock or even cripple your company if swift action is not taken. Don’t be caught napping. Make a decision which will bring down the number of man hours lost and cut out the risk of being hit unawares by the next flu epidemic or pandemic.

Damage caused by water is daunting enough

Posted on by Christian Hoffmann

Trotec building dryers against flood damages

Damage caused by water is daunting enough – get all the help you can with the TTK building dryers from Trotec

It looked as though we were in for a super summer.

Temperatures soared and topped marks on the thermometer which we were only accustomed to being treated to on holiday, in places as magnificent and exotic as the Côte d’Azur, the Italian Riviera, or the Balearic Isles. 35 – 38 – even 40 degrees Celsius – were not uncommon!

The met office confirmed what we already knew: that we were in the grip of a heat wave and that this June was going to be one of the warmest on record.

Ice-cream, air conditioner – and beer – sales exploded. People stayed up late and sat outside pubs and cafes risking turning up at work bleary-eyed the next morning just to savour the Mediterranean feeling and make the most of the unusually beautiful weather.

And then the rain came.

Within weeks the picture was a totally different one. Now it was the rain that was splashed across the front pages and making the headlines. The people who had groaned collectively when they lay awake during the long, hot nights which robbed them of their sleep now had to decide which was worse – too much sun or too much rain.

For those who lived near certain rivers or in certain parts of the country there could only have been one answer. As river levels started to rise and dykes burst and freak flash floods swamped the regions which they lived in, the inhabitants of many German states, especially those which had already been hit by similar catastrophes in previous years, would have given everything to be able to decide.

As many people who have themselves been affected, or who have helped others when these have been hit by floods and high water, the scale of damage that the receding water levels leave behind is crippling, daunting and often heart-breaking. The frustration at perhaps having to start all over again is enough to drive the strongest of men to despair. Luckily for some the damage can be contained – either because the dams or sandbags held and the water was only able to seep into the cellars and lower-lying areas or other precautions were taken and furniture and valuables were moved to higher floors before the floods came.

And because the damage resulting from the masses of water could be significantly reduced and restored by using the right drying equipment.

Building dryers from Trotec are just one of many effective means designed to dry out homes and buildings after water damage. The professional building dryers in the TTK series are extremely robust and reliable units which have proved their worth in tens of thousands of scenarios throughout the country and across the whole of Europe. The range covers a selection of models each designed to deal with damage on a certain scale. The smallest model in the series, the TTK 200, for example, is a high-powered, highly-mobile unit that is excellently suited for drying out rooms up to 250 m³. The brilliant yellow building dryer is equipped with a powerful rotary compressor, an automatic hot gas defrosting system and large, non-marking wheels that allow you to manoeuvre the unit to wherever you want it.

Although the other models like the highly-versatile TTK 400, the TTK 800 powerhouse or the colossal TTK 1500 each have an operating range or an area of application for which they are best suited, they all have a number of things in common: high-quality components, excellent dehumidification values and drying results and a variety of useful functions and valuable features which have earned them the reputation of being the premium choice for small, medium and large-scale drying operations.

Trust in Trotec – the name in building dryers and machines and equipment for water damage restoration.

Stop mould before it starts – with a dehumidifier from Trotec

Posted on by Tim Austin

Mould in the home is often a problem. Whereas people of old used to grumble about their draughty abodes and grouse about inadequate insulation, today’s homeowners often make the mistake of casting out the Devil with Beelzebub and sealing their houses so well off from the outer world that although they don’t let the cold, wet air in, they don’t let the warm, moist air out either. This phenomenon quickly provides the ideal breeding ground for different kinds of mould and mildew, which thrive and flourish in damp and stagnant conditions.

Trotec dehumidifier ttk 30 S and ttk 70 s

Mould in the home is not only unsightly, it is dangerous too. Mould patches on walls or ceilings often spread out rapidly and develop unpleasant odours – in extremely bad cases, the biting, musty smell which is generally attributed to household mould can become so overpowering it even makes your eyes water. Mould spores are particularly aggressive, because they affect the respiratory system and trigger respiratory illnesses or other complaints and disorders. If left unchecked mould can also cause extensive damage to your property and possessions: valuable furniture, carpets, clothes, books, collections and tapestries all suffer to such an extent under the effects of mould that they can actually be rendered worthless. Mould can induce wood rot, which in turn can lead to structural damage to your property. In some particularly devastating and tragic cases when mould was on the rampage, whole families have had to leave everything behind and flee their houses in a last attempt to salvage their health, even at the cost of a once-loved home.

Mould should not be ignored. As a rule patches which are less than 1m² in size can be cleaned with special cleaning agents – and special clothing like gloves and masks! But mould has the habit of returning, not least of all because it is the symptoms and not the cause which are being fought.

One such cause is poor ventilation. Although there are many people who would believe that the onset or spread of mould is a sign of poor hygiene, it is much more a sign of poor airing. Bathrooms especially are prone to being affected by mould, because they are quite simply not given enough time to dry out. The moisture which ladens the air after a shower or hot bath condenses on the colder surfaces in the bathroom – like outer walls or ceilings – where it later becomes a damp spot, thus providing the breeding ground mentioned earlier.

So why not prevent mould from occurring in the first place? With a dehumidifier from Trotec.

Compact – but with enough clout to carry out the job
The Trotec dehumidifiers in the S-series are excellently suited for use in both the home and the office. The series comprises a variety of different models each designed to meet your specific needs and individual requirements. Trotec has two models which are extremely well-suited for use in the bathroom, especially those without windows or any other means of ventilation – the slim, elegantly styled, ultra-compact TTK 30 S and the sleek, no-nonsense dehumidifier-of-many talents, the TTK 70 S.

D-I-Y, yes – but Do-It-Right!

Posted on by Tim Austin

For many people D-I-Y is more than just a hobby, it is a philosophy, a way of life.

Do-it-yourselfers are enthusiasts who like to rely on their own skills – skills they have learnt from a variety of different sources and people – to carry out home repairs or home or garden improvements in order to accomplish whichever goal they have set themselves, or simply to save money, or even both.

The satisfying sense which comes of having achieved something by using your wits and your own hands is something that has to be experienced to be believed. And in many cases, the work carried out is at least equal to any work carried out by professional builders or contractors, because of the dedication and eye for detail that goes into such a project. And needless to say, it is cheaper too. There are countless informational websites, magazines and programs on TV devoted solely to the art of do-it-yourselfing, a phenomenon which finances a whole industry while aiding a colourful cross-section of society to perform a myriad of tasks ranging from paving to plumbing, from welding to wiring.

Yet whereas do-it-yourselfers and handymen – and women – pride themselves on being sticklers for detail, there is one thing some tend to take a less seriously: safety. Safety in the home is no less important than safety in the workplace. Thousands of death and millions of medical visits a year could be avoided if people were more cautious and less trusting, especially when carrying out even simple tasks – like hammering a nail into a wall or drilling a hole.

Drilling into a wire or pipe can be dangerous – when you hit a wire or a pipe you risk getting an electric shock or causing damage that is not restricted to the affected area alone: wet walls or floors, widespread flooding or even cable fires are real and possible dangers.

So why risk damage, your health or even your life when the solution is so simple: the new D-tect 150 wall scanner.

Cutting-edge technology in a new design – the new D-tect 150 wall scanners are designed to meet the most modern and stringent technical and safety standards. The wall scanners are packed with a variety of useful functions and valuable features which enable you to detect plastic and other synthetic materials, wood, metal and electric wires quickly and reliably – down to a fraction of an inch.

The D-tect 150 wall scanner cannot only be used to scan the surface of the wall, ceiling or floor you wish to examine to determine whether there are any conduits, cables or wires concealed below: the wall scanners are designed to provide you with accurate and reliable information on the position and type of materials up to a depth of 15cm (6 ins) meaning that you can drill a hole or chisel out a path for your new pipes or wires in the knowledge that there will be no other water pipes, wooden beams or live wires to block your path.

The technicians and engineers who designed and developed the D-tect 150 paid particular attention to ergonomics and easy handling – there is no need to carry out any calibrations. Not only is the D-tect 150 equipped with a large, backlit display which you can switch on whenever the lighting conditions require that you do so, it is also IP54 protected and therefore dust and splashproof. This makes it ideal for use on building sites and in other rough environments. In fact it is so rugged it will even survive a fall from roughly 1metre.

The D-tect 150 wall scanner is quite an impressive device: it provides you with information on the type of material of the object under the layer of screed, concrete, masonry or plaster, and it tells you the exact position of the object or objects and how deep you can actually drill. In addition there are 4 sensors which scan the surface in one of 5 different operating modes: a universal mode for conventional walls and brickwork, a mode for concrete, one for floor or wall heatings and one for dry walls and hollow walls respectively.

Wall scanners – for professionals, do-it-yourselfers, and everyone and anyone who wants to be 100% sure

Trotec Certified as Trusted Shop

Posted on by Christian Hoffmann

Online buying is big business. The internet has become a global marketplace and the magnitude and diversity of the products which the internet has to offer is quite simply staggering.

Whereas the consumers of yesteryear flocked to the high streets or congregated in droves in shopping malls to hunt for a bargain and compare prices, today’s cybershoppers have a more modern approach to shopping and savour the benefits of being able to order the articles they wish to purchase from a wide range of products from the comfort – and safety – of their homes.

But just how safe are they?

Internet fraud has many guises and the number of websites designed solely with the intention of scamming buyers who think that they are on to a good bargain has rocketed. The number of people who have lost money on purchases made over the internet because they have placed their trust in the wrong company and fallen victim to one of countless different scams has risen steadily over the years and now runs into the millions.

Scams like retail fraud whereby a buyer pays for goods which never arrive or identity theft whereby unwitting buyers who have been baited with mouthwatering bargains supply the devious fraudsters with sensitive information including credit card codes or bank details which can later be used to carry out purchases in their name. This scam is especially harrowing for those who have been scammed because the victims often have trouble convincing the companies and the debt collecting agencies involved that they did not receive the products which were bought in their name and are therefore often blacklisted or treated as criminals themselves.

How then is it possible to protect oneself against such criminal energy?

Both the Ministry of Justice and the consumer watchdog No.1 Stiftung Warentest recommend that you only buy online from product portals that are certified as belonging to Trusted Shops as these portals are checked and monitored in accordance with the rigorous Trusted Shops quality criteria and as such offer a high degree of customer protection. Protection against both retail fraud and credit card fraud. And a money-back guarantee as well as a contact person who will help you with any questions you have should you wish to return the goods you have bought.

So now there is nothing to stop you from visiting our website and buying one of the high-quality dehumidifiers, building dryers, fans or cutting-edge measuring devices designed especially for trade and industry, the construction industry or private and domestic use.

Buy online at the Trotec Shop and rest assured that your order will be processed quickly, reliably and efficiently and that your data will be protected against misuse and treated confidentially at all times.

This is not just a promise. It has been certified by the consumer protection agency “Trusted Shops” which awarded Trotec24. The Trusted Shop’s seal of approval making it one of over 7,000 selected online shops which have been checked according to the most stringent of standards!

Buy now at Trotec and benefit from our excellent service, certified quality and comprehensive safety standards.
