Fighting Insect Intrusion with Airtècnics Air Curtains

Friday 26 April 2024

In sectors where cleanliness is crucial, such as the food, pharmaceutical, or restaurant industries, effective pest control is not just a necessity but a requirement. The presence of insects in these industries not only causes significant economic losses annually but also poses a real threat to public health, as these vectors transmit over 17% of infectious diseases globally.

Airtècnics air curtains offer an advanced and effective solution, protecting facilities from the unwanted entry of insects and helping to maintain the highest standards of hygiene. Airtècnics provides a complete range of air curtains, specifically designed to combat insects at building entrances, which not only comply with NSF-37 standards but exceed stringent performance expectations. These curtains create a high-velocity air barrier that minimizes insect entry and facilitates the smooth transit of people and goods.

air curtains against insects range

A key study conducted by INRA, Laboratoire de Toxicologie Environnementale, in Avignon, France, and published in the Wiley Online Library, demonstrated the effectiveness of an air curtain as a barrier against flying insects like honey bees. The study focused on testing the air curtain's ability to deter these insects, which stop their flight when unable to counteract the force of the air current generated by the curtain.

The research revealed that at air flow speeds of 7.25 m/s, air curtains can effectively prevent the entry of insects by 99.9%, transforming enclosed spaces into insect-free zones and eliminating the need for pesticides or other invasive methods.

Besides being an effective barrier against insects, air curtains also prevent the entry of dust and other contaminants, keeping interiors clean and safe. Simultaneously, they contribute to the conservation of the air-conditioned environment within the facilities, significantly reducing energy consumption and operational costs, thus optimizing both efficiency and safety.
