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.

TAC V+ for emergency makeshift hospitals: As spaces are being converted into hospitals for coronavirus patients, as with exhibition centres in Berlin, Trotec can supply highly efficient filter systems for mobile air purification
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
Berlin is preparing for emergencies! With a construction time of only four weeks, a hospital with space for 500 coronavirus patients and around 130 ventilators has been built virtually overnight on the site of the Berlin exhibition centre. An empty exhibition centre has been converted. An external wing made from containers serves as a respite area for the medical personnel, as the hospital is a hygiene-sensitive infection area and it understandably may only be entered by people wearing the appropriate protective clothing and masks. But it’s not only Berlin that is gearing up. In many places there are plans for auxiliary makeshift hospitals to be set up in sports halls, exhibition centres or other halls that are not in use to aid the response to a new wave of infections.
Corona in the textile industry: How sewing factories and textile manufacturers can protect themselves against another shutdown due to sick employees
Posted on by Jochem Weingartz
The world is at a standstill – and with it hundreds of thousands of sewing machines in Bangladesh, the second most important sourcing country after China for European fashion manufacturers. Textile companies around the world are struggling with corona-induced slumps in sales – and the hardest hit are the sewing factories in Bangladesh, whose orders are being suspended or cancelled.
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!
