Extends the operating time and service life of forklift trucks – mobile air cleaner TAC 6500 with flexible filter system
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Anyone who relies on the use of forklift trucks for transport and the handling of goods in production halls and warehouses will rather curious to hear the gentle purring of these agile machines. But driving back and forth leaves its traces of course: whirled up dirt and dust, especially the fine dust of your own tire abrasion, can damage the electric drive of the forklift and considerably shorten its service life. The solution: the extremely powerful TAC 6500 professional air cleaner reliably ensures effective air cleaning even of large air treatment areas.

High-quality breathing masks and nose/mouth masks are still in short supply in the current corona crisis! Although there is a wide variety of respiratory protection, FFP, face, hygiene and operating theatre masks on the market, these differ not only in price, but also very decisively in quality and filter performance!
What you really need to know: The 4-point check for ascertaining inferior mouth-nose masks without any protective effect
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
The corona pandemic has been accompanied by a worldwide rise in fraud and criminal activities associated with the trade in respiratory protection masks. The media have been reporting on a daily basis about the sale of confiscated protective masks – sometimes with fake certificates, in inferior quality and frequently manufactured under horrendously unhygienic conditions. In no way do these products involve masks offered for sale clandestinely on some shady black market. According to a report published in Den Haag by the European police authority Europol, criminals and organised gangs have rapidly adapted their methods. The fake masks have consequently found their way into normal commerce – even via official channels.
Coronavirus: Corona-Virus: A self-sewn makeshift mouth-and-nose protector – very beautiful, very colourful and very, very impractical
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
At first glance it looks ingeniously simple: just sew those missing everyday masks yourself, choose your own colour, choose your design – and off you go! At second glance, reality clouds an all too rosy view: Wash, wash, wash again and do it at 90°C. Or boil it in water on the stove for 5 minutes. Before the first use. And before each new use. Because otherwise every mask really becomes a veritable virus spinner. But daily washing uses a lot of electricity – and in the long run it will also become quite expensive.
Trotec advisor: Protection for the mouth and nose is not harmful in any way – despite rumours to the contrary
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Mouth-nose protection helps to further reduce the general infection risk from coronavirus. Consequently, almost all virologists, epidemiologists and medical hygiene professionals, the federal government and all state premiers have clearly and emphatically recommended wearing face masks. Despite this, rumours have been circulating about the health risks associated with masks: Does mouth protection make you tired quickly? Doesn’t it increase the concentration of CO2 in the blood? Isn’t it dangerous for children? The Trotec Advisor has answers to these questions – and Trotec has the solutions for effective mouth-nose protection.
Coronavirus: VW is ramping up production even further, with mouth and nose protectors back on the production line
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
After a five week shutdown, Volkswagen are starting auto production again. In order to ensure the safety of their employees, VW are implementing stricter hygiene standards and strict distancing rules. In areas where distances of 1.5 metres are not possible, workers must wear a mouth and nose protector. The car manufacturer’s suppliers, who make components such as cockpits or cable harnesses, can also breathe a sigh of relief thanks to the restart. And here, just like with VW, our offer of packs of 50 Single Use Mouth and Nose Masks are running off the assembly line just in time!
Keep your eyes open when buying masks: In pharmacies, drug stores, department stores and petrol stations, breathing masks with dubious effects and origin are often offered unknowingly
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Mouth and nose protection (MNS) and breathing masks with FFP 2 or FFP 3 filters (comparable to so-called KN95, N95 or DS2 respirators) are in greater demand than ever before due to the worldwide corona pandemic. Anyone currently searching for protective masks in the usual search engines is literally inundated with “immediately available breathing masks” and in the meantime even petrol station chains, DIY stores and of course pharmacies have masks on offer, so that you could get the impression that the supply bottleneck of the last few weeks and months has vanished into thin air. But is this really the case?
Practical knowledge from Trotec: What you should keep in mind regarding respiratory masks
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Whether the obligation to wear a respiratory mask outside the house can mitigate the risks of infection in a meaningful way is currently the subject of hot debate. Wearing a face mask in public will not become compulsory. However, the federal government and the federal states recommend wearing a face mask when taking public transport and shopping. Those who want to be in the know should become familiar with the basic information on what respiratory masks do. Are different types of face masks available and, if so, what are they? What are the major differences between mouth-nose protection (MNP) and a filtering face piece ? Should you make or sew your own face masks?
