Our ultraviolet air and surface purification lines are designed for your commercial and industrial applications — with the exception of the AeroLogic®, that can be used in residential, commercial, or industrial settings. All models use STER-L-RAY® Germicidal UV-C Lamps that emit a UV wavelength highly lethal to virus, bacteria, and mold spores. Everyone benefits when UV-C radiation reduces the incidence of MRSA, C. Diff, and TB — and everyone benefits when UV virtually eliminates cold and flu germs. Cross-contamination is reduced, providing healthy, pure air and relief from allergies and asthma.
Below is a summary of our UV Air & Surface Disinfection Models that may help you decide the best ultraviolet disinfection product for your doctors office or chiropractic office:
- The SANITAIRE® uses a combination of germicidal UV lamps, washable electrostatic, absolute HEPA, or disposable particulate filters, and blowers for controlled flow of purified air. It continuously disinfects the air in occupied spaces with virtually no maintenance.
- The Hygeaire® purifies upper room air in occupied spaces, reducing the risk of cross-infection by virtually inactivating all infectious airborne microbes. It uses a unique, variable–output version of our Surelite™ Electronic Ballast with an adjustable feature mounted on its base, allowing the purchase of one model that can be used in many different sized rooms.
- The Sanidyne® is the portable solution where a permanent sanitizer is not an option, allowing you to sanitize the air and exposed surfaces in unoccupied areas as needed. A 1,000 sq. ft. room can be disinfected in under one hour. Its portability also makes it an economical way to use ultraviolet disinfection in your application. There are several models to choose from.
- SaniLIGHT® is very effective on air and surfaces in unoccupied spaces due to long, unobstructed UV rays.
- The AeroLogic® installs inside your new or existing HVAC air ducts. This fixture eliminates airborne microbes inside the ducts so that fresh, pure air enters the occupied room. Several models are available for most home, commercial, and industrial HVAC units.
