In living quaters the daily use of the shower, kitchen, washing machine, etc. generate several litres moisture every single day that saturate the air inside the room. The water vapour inevitably gets into contact with with cold spots like windows and begins to condense. Small drops and occasionally water accumulation form in these spots that offer ideal breeding ground for germs and bacteria, even fungal spores can begin to thrive and prosper. Electric high performance dehumidifier like the Stadler Form Albert model are designed to rid indoor air of excess moisture. An integrated hygrostat measures the current vapour content and automatically begins operating once the humidity hits a critical level. The excess water is collected in a tank and can be disposed of later on.

Humidifiers can be used year-round, however they usually become an indispensible accessory during the colder season when the radiator is turned on most of the time. Artificially warmed indoor air tends to be quite dry and actually promotes irritation of the mucosa and susceptibility to infection. Humidifying appliances with a chic design add moisture to the indoor air until it has reached a more agreeable condition. The clever thing about is that water vapour is not emitted completely at random, in fact it is measured and controlled by a hygrostat. There are three kinds of mechanical humidifiers that add moisture to the air in a different way:

Having a method of external air supply (windows or ventilation system) that starts up whilst your device is operating will not have any negative impact on its cleaning efficiency. However, it is not very desirable to have both run at the same time because the cleaned or treated air would escape too soon without being used. The better option is to switch on the humidifier, purifier or dehumidifier after ventilation system has finished a cycle of supply and extraction.


In newly built houses with a central ventilation system and sensor-controlled humidity adjustment the short-term use of air treatment devices comes in handy, too. Air purifiers in particular increase the performance of on-site filter systems to a point where people with allergies and asthma feel comfortable and safe. Filters in ventilation systems and ducting only remove coarse particles like dirt and dust (depending on model and brand), but they are not equipped to deal with fine matter and micro-organisms. Odours are also not completely trapped by all systems and might spread throughout the entire living quarters. A portable air cleaner that you can use spontaneously whenever the need arises is a valuable addition to the household!

Filters in professional ventilation systems with ducting must be cleaned or replaced frequently. If their capacity limit is reached soon you can choose to use portable air cleaner to support the performance during the last few weeks before the appointed day of the replacement.

However, not only fine dust and high humidity negatively impact the indoor air quality, flying insects such as fruit flies and mosquitos give residents a hard time. Particularly in cattle breeding and catering trade insects are not only annoying, they actually pose a risk to health because they act as tiny germ carries. We offer high-performance insect killers with UV lamps, glueboard and electric grid that get rid of the pests in an efficient and quick way. Insect traps with an integrated fan give users the possibility to let beneficial insects free after they were caught in a tray and can cover a wide range of up to 180m².

Flykilles and insect traps can be used at home, in commercial or industrial environments. For use in agricultural and industrial areas it is important to look out for the IP rating.
