Good news for libraries and book worms: Thanks to the new high-frequency air purifier from Trotec, safe browsing is even possible during the coronavirus pandemic
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
To reduce the risk of infection in libraries, Trotec has developed the new TAC V+ high-frequency air purifier. Infectious aerosols (tiny particles of saliva), which, according to the Robert Koch Institute, transmit the virus through the air in a room, are filtered out of the air by the TAC V+ by 99.995 %. According to scientists and virologists, aerosols are one of the main ways in which the coronavirus is spread. If the air in a room, however, is continuously and effectively “cleaned”, the risk of infection by aerosols released when we speak and cough to almost zero.
The reason the Trotec air purifier TAC V+ has been developed right now: New study confirms the transmissibility of coronavirus through speaking

What Trotec has been warning everyone about for some time has now been proven by another scientific study: The SARS-CoV-2 virus is transmitted not only by coughing and sneezing, but also when speaking. A study published in the journal “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America“ (PNAS)” shows that aerosols (tiny saliva particles) ejected when speaking just one sentence float around in the room for a long time. This insight is not new. “A large proportion of corona infections are due to droplets and aerosols”.
Trotec of Heinsberg wants to help German hoteliers out of the crisis and push the capacity limits of 50 – 60 per cent

As of this week the first hotels are allowed to open again! However, distance rules and strict hygiene requirements apply to all hotels to protect employees and guests from infection. The fear of the coronavirus is so great that even after the reopening many beds as well as seminar and conference rooms will remain empty. The situation is further aggravated by the fact that regulations vary from state to state. Hotels in Hamburg are only allowed to rent out 60 per cent of their rooms. Lower Saxony “allows” just 50 per cent. These regulations are supplemented by rules on social distancing, compulsory masks and increased disinfection measures. Far from rosy prospects for the already troubled hotel and restaurant industry.
Nurseries & Corona: Nurseries & Corona: Trotec develops corona protection for teachers and children in nurseries
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
In its most-recent Corona profile, the Robert Koch Institute has confirmed the dissemination of the virus via aerosols in the indoor air that we breathe[1]. To reduce this risk of infection in nurseries, Trotec has developed the innovative high-frequency TAC V+ air purifier to filter infectious aerosols (tiny saliva particles) from indoor air. According to scientists and virologists, aerosols are one of the main sources of infection with the coronavirus. If, on the other hand, the air in the room is constantly and effectively “washed”, the risk of infection via aerosols released when speaking or coughing is significantly reduced.

The slaughterhouse turns out to be a corona hot spot? Hardly surprising! Air-purifying technology developed in Heinsberg may be able to reduce the risk of infection and prevent closures!

The news that more than 100 Westfleisch employees have contracted the coronavirus in the midst of the current debate on relaxation has come at a very inconvenient time for politics and the economy! This case shows powerfully that the measures first imposed by regional and federal governments weeks ago are only partially effective. They are only effective if people keep a large enough “safe distance” between each other, in addition to all of these hygiene measures.
Technology developed in Heinsberg during the crisis shows how university and company canteens can protect themselves better from Corona: TAC V+ air purification
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
The loosening of the corona lockdown measures is a done deal! In almost all federal states, office canteens and university canteens, which have been closed up to now, are preparing to reopen soon. But how can employees and students be protected against infection in the canteen? This question is currently preoccupying not only the states that are imposing strict hygiene requirements, but also universities and companies. No businessperson or university wants to risk their own canteen becoming a Corona hotspot and the press coverage that comes with it!
Air contamination: Dust particles in the placenta! Air purification: At home and at the office with AirgoClean 10 E!
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
The horror story of recent weeks has been that dust particles can travel from the lungs of pregnant women all the way to the placenta. This puts the health of the unborn child in danger. And also means pregnant employees are exposed to a risk two-fold: from exposure to dust in the workplace and to the ‘normal’ fine particulates that wait for them at home, as indoor air pollution can be up to five times higher than air pollution outdoors. An air purifier like the AirgoClean 10 E can be useful in both environments to easily eliminate contaminants.
Studies prove how rapidly the corona virus spreads through the air in open-plan offices! Trotec can tell you which air-purifying preventive measures you need to take to protect your employees!

The corona virus is spreading at a rapid pace! Almost every country in the world is now affected by the pandemic with more and more reports of new infections every day. A recent incident in Seoul shows just how quickly the dangerous corona virus can spread through the air in the workplace.
