Information about the device

Device description

The device serves to filter the room air with the aim of reducing slight and medium contaminations and odors in order to improve the air quality. It is equipped with a powerful fan sucking in the air at the front. The air flows through the filter and is cleaned. Afterward, the fan releases the clean air back into the room. The device uses a HEPA filter to remove bacteria, viruses,pollen, dust mite residue, mold fungus spores, and other allergens from the air. The HEPA filter has an integrated prefilter (made of synthetic fiber) that filters out large dust particles before the air flows into the HEPA filter. The HEPA filter is effective against house dust, pet allergens, cigarette smoke, smog and particles which can carry smells and viruses. Additionally, the device comes with an ionization function. The released ions remove pollen, dust, viruses, and bacteria from the room air. Thanks to this air purification method, the quality of the room air can be additionally improved. The three-stage fan and the uncomplicated, quick filter change ensure easy operation. Thanks to its compact dimensions the device can be transported conveniently and owing to the low-noise operation it can be used indoors. The device can be operated via the control panel at the device or via the infrared remote control. TROTEC-AIRGOCLEAN-10-E-Air-Cleaner-
