Wouldn’t it have been better if November was completely cancelled this time? Besides, it is not exactly one of our favourite months: the cloudy, diffuse daylight and the wet cold are a constant nuisance. But with the current contact restrictions, or rather, a ban on going out for a good mood, it takes the cake this year. Well, let’s just make ourselves a little more comfortable at home and ensure cosy warmth everywhere within our own four walls. It is perfect coincidence that our solid transition and auxiliary heater, the TCH 20 E, is finally available again. That’s some good news this month!Oil Radiator TRH 20 E: additional source of heat with maximum heat output at minimal costs – finally available again
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
The coldest season of the year is now approaching faster than ever. So it’s high time to make the house and apartment ‘winterproof’. If you are looking for an additional source of heat for draughty corners or only for rooms that not used frequently, then we recommend our Oil Radiator TRH 20 E, which is available again. After only a 10-minute warm-up time after being switched on, the device already emits its full heating power. And after switching off the heat lasts for an extra-long period of time – to 30 minutes. So, winter can indeed come!
NEW Microwave Radiation Meter BR16 – for easy measurement of potentially harmful microwave radiation in the home and office
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
‘’Just put it in the microwave!’’ That’s right, we all do it. And if the value limits are not crossed, microwaves are actually harmless. If! Because microwave devices with defective shielding can have leakage radiation that is harmful to health. Likewise, various microwave devices, such as WLAN routers, mobile phones or transmission masts, can become sources of interference if they are not positioned properly in- or outside the house. These harmful or interfering microwave radiation can be detected using the compact new BR16 radiation meter from Trotec.
Why can winter worsen the corona pandemic?
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
The dreaded second corona virus wave has arrived just in time for the beginning of the cold season. Since the start of the pandemic epidemiologists and virologists have been warning us of the effect winter can have, whereby the cold weather outside keeps people in their homes, spreading the virus more and more indoors in closed rooms. For example, after analysing contact tracing, a study by Japanese researchers found that people that people are 19 times more likely to become infected indoors than outdoors.
NEW Wooden Circular Saw Blade Sets: high quality 3-piece sets made of carbon steel for all standard hand-held circular saws – finally available
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Shutdown time is home- and craftsman -time. Because you can hardly carry out your project more undisturbed than now in November – for example the circular saw work that has been postponed until now. So it’s a fitting coincidence that from now on our new circular saw blade sets are finally in stock! Four high-quality, 3-piece sets, each made of carbon steel in Trotec brand quality for all standard hand-held circular saws. Extremely hard steel, which guarantees a significantly higher sharpness and durability – and faster work progress thanks to sharply ground wolf teeth.
BZ30 CO₂ air quality data logger – for autonomous long-term logging of carbon dioxide concentration, room temperature and humidity
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Pandemic and infection alarms are going off everywhere you look – how often can, should or must classrooms, waiting rooms and meeting rooms be ventilated? An recommendation often heard is about every 20 minutes. But is that really enough? Is that too little ventilation, too much or just right? The BZ30 CO₂ air quality data logger delivers clarity here, because its alarm function warns you if it detects an increased concentration of CO₂. Schools, offices and private households thereby receive an indication of potentially inadequate ventilation management, which brings with it a potentially increased risk of infection.
Scientists have demonstrated: too little humidity in indoor air increases the risk of coronavirus infection

Who had even heard of ‘aerosols’ a year ago? It is now clear that these long-living infectious particles floating in the air are responsible for the majority of Corona infections. The renowned aerosol specialist Prof. Dr. Alfred Wiedensohler from the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) in Leipzig warns that “in cold and temperate climates, the indoor climate is usually very dry during the heating season. This could promote the spread of coronaviruses”. This is because at higher air humidity, the droplets grow faster and fall to the ground earlier, and can therefore be inhaled less by healthy people.
PPLS 10-20V battery-powered electric planer: for outstanding surface qualities in woodworking – with the particularly powerful 20V/4Ah FlexPower multi-battery
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
The battery-operated PPLS 10‑20V electric planer produces perfectly flat wood surfaces and clean edges, as well as reducing material thickness or removing stubborn layers of paint perfectly. This is because this powerful, high-speed all-rounder does not use only the power of a 20 V 4.0 Ah Flexpower multi-battery. In addition, full equipment for DIYers and professionals makes work easier: the cut depth can be adjusted with a rotary knob, and the large blade shaft has high-quality carbide blades and extensive safety and protective functions.
Aerosols in Dental Practice: Dentacare Bendinat dental clinic strengthens corona prevention measures by using TAC V+ high-performance air purifiers from Trotec
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Dental surgeries are subject to strict hygiene regulations which contribute to a high level of protection in the practices. This has not just been the case since the corona pandemic. Even before that, dentists always had to expect that potentially infectious patients (e.g. with measles or HIV) would come to the practice for treatment. With the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, a new potential risk is emerging that must also be taken into account when protecting the health of employees, patients and of course the practitioner.
