Good news for libraries: The thermal disinfector TES 200 protects against corona viruses in book stores and releases books from quarantine

Book stores and libraries are open again. After seemingly endless weeks, bookworms can finally borrow books again and stock up on new reading material. Unfortunately, visitors will often have to wait longer for new and coveted books, DVDs or other loan media, as these are “quarantined” by corona.

Corona risk: Is flying safer than a going to the dentist? We believe we’ve found the perfect solution to this question: Maximum health protection for dentists and patients

Virologists and dental associations are in agreement: very small infectious particles (so-called aerosols with a size of approx. 0.3 – 0.4 μm) present in indoor air are one of the main causes for the rapid spread of the coronavirus. In his recommendations for dealing with the corona pandemic in schools or comparable institutions, Prof. Dr. med. Dieter Köhler writes: “Corona viruses are mainly transmitted via respiration; coughing and sneezing are less significant as compared to bacterial infections”.

It was in the air: numerous worshippers are infected with the coronavirus during a service. Mass infection promotes call for air purifiers in public areasIt was in the air: numerous worshippers are infected with the coronavirus during a service. Mass infection promotes call for air purifiers in public areas

A new case of infection in Frankfurt shows how the importance of air purifiers in houses of worship and prayer. Despite the fulfilment of all requirements, a mass infection occurred after a church service. Experts are therefore increasingly demanding: only a permanent virus air purifier can protect against the inhalation of viral aerosols, which are expelled into the room, especially during loud prayer and singing, and these can remain in the air for hours. The new TAC V+ high-frequency air purifier from Trotec obviously completes insufficient hygiene concepts by providing effective protection against the risk of infection via indoor air. The air purifier quickly and effectively filters infectious aerosols from the air in the room – before they can enter the body via the respiratory tract.

Corona outbreak after a visit to a restaurant: Trotec explains why current hygiene concepts are probably inadequate – and provides novel infection protection

The importance of permanent air purifiers in restaurants is shown by the first corona outbreak shortly after many restaurants reopened. Only a permanent viral air purifier protects against the inhalation of viral aerosols, which are emitted into the room when speaking and can remain in the air for hours. The new TAC V+ high-frequency air purifier from Trotec completes insufficient hygiene measures with effective protection against the risk of infection via indoor air. The new type of air purifier filters infectious aerosols quickly and effectively from indoor air – before they are inhaled by employees or customers.

Corona in open-plan offices: Trotec develops TAC V+ air purifier with previously unattained air purity performance and virus filtration for protection against infectious aerosols in room air

Thousands of saliva droplets in varying size are expelled into the air while talking or sneezing. Large droplets – which cough and sneeze guards, visors and mouth-nose masks are meant to protect against in times of the coronavirus. But even the smallest microparticles too, the so-called aerosols. These aerosols are now being researched intensively in the laboratories of the TU Berlin, in order to be able to better estimate the risk of infection with coronavirus. Together with doctors and virologists, the engineers at Trotec are also working on technical solutions aimed at filtering infectious aerosols out of the air in rooms. As soon as the first cases of infection were announced in Heinsberg, work commenced on a high-frequency air purifier with special HEPA filtration, in order to be able to keep, in particular, open-plan offices, restaurants or comparable extensive areas permanently free of infectious aerosols. This is because a mobile solution with sufficiently high air purification rate has so far not been available to remove viral-laden aerosols from the entire room air via the filter specially developed for this in as short a time as possible. After just 5 months development time, the new TAC V+ air purifier is now available in various versions and ready for use in numerous applications.

Word has got around! The risk of infection by coronavirus is “also” in the air – a remedy from Heinsberg is coming our way! NTV reports on the TAC V+ aerosol air purifier from Trotec

It is no longer an open secret: In addition to droplet and smear infection, the coronavirus also spreads via aerosols in room and breathing air. Until a few weeks ago, this warning was primarily being spread by foreign authorities such as the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) or numerous scientific studies – but it is now increasingly finding its way into the German media landscape.

Corona risk: Is flying safer than dining out at a restaurant? We are convinced we have found the perfect solution to this question: Tables don’t need to remain empty!

Virologists and scientists are in agreement: Aerosols (tiny respiratory droplets) that linger in the air are one of the key reasons behind the rapid spread of coronavirus. Only about 10 per cent of coronavirus infections are transmitted via direct contact or smear infections. Half of all infections can be attributed to the inhalation of infectious aerosols that float invisibly in the air in closed rooms. This is the reason restaurants are often touted as potential hotspots, as places where large groups of people gather in a small amount of space. In order to prevent infection, a minimum distance of 2 metres needs to be maintained or tables kept empty.

Coronavirus floats in the air How to reduce the risk of infection in commercial spaces thanks to professional air humidification

In the retail trade, such as at the baker’s or optician’s or even in the gallery – wherever you and your employees as well as the customers spend longer periods of time in closed rooms, another particularly high risk of infection lurks beyond the known droplet infection – so-called aerosols. This is the name given to the fine, virus-containing mist of droplets that is already produced during normal breathing and speaking and which hovers in the air for a particularly long time as a highly infectious cloud. Professor Dr. Roland Netz from the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Berlin has found an explanation for this phenomenon – and also for the solution…

Coronavirus ‘floats’ in the air: How to reduce the risk of infection in youth hostels thanks to professional air humidification

Youth hostel are being opened, little by little Even if, as a hostel warden, you take particular care to implement strict hygiene rules, children and young people naturally want to make use of their freedom, especially in youth hostels. But as soon as they move about in the closed bedrooms and common rooms, another particularly high risk of infection, beyond that of familiar droplet infection – the so-called ‘aerosol’ – lurks for your guests, young and old. Professor Dr. Roland Netz from the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Berlin has found an explanation for this phenomenon – and also for the solution…

Corona virus floats in the air: How to reduce the risk of infection in your hairdressing salon – thanks to professional air humidification

As a hairdresser, you have probably jumped back and forth between reception and waiting area, sink and chair in the last few days. Even if you’ve almost always managed to comply with the strict hygiene rules in the process, as a responsible operator you should keep an eye on the particular danger constituted by corona virus: In your salon, too, there is another particularly high risk of infection lurking beyond the familiar droplet infection – the so-called ‘aerosol’. Professor Dr. Roland Netz from the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Berlin has the explanation for this phenomenon – and also for the solution…
