“During the lockdown in March – Stocola told us – some customers who needed to secure shops and offices asked us to study the possibility of using UV C LED technology, already applied to sanitize the air in the production departments. of some food companies, to kill viruses and bacteria, but through a device that provides the possibility of being used in the presence of people. So we began to work on the idea of producing an air sanitizer for use in total safety at home or in the office, ideal for breaking down the viruses present in the air we breathe but which was aesthetically pleasing. Within a few months, we filed the patent applications, obtained the necessary product certifications, defined the industrial plan and started producing the sanitizers, satisfying the growing market demands, in Italy and abroad ».
The Brianza startup has created this device both through laboratory tests conducted by the Lifeanalytics Group in collaboration with the University of Ferrara, which certified the virucidal activity of UV C LEDs on human Coronavirus in excess of 99.99%, and by adopting prestigious recently published research work on the effects of UV-C on Coronaviruses.
How My Air Pure works
The air is sucked from the upper part by a 7-blade fan, capable of treating, depending on the model, up to 180 cubic meters of air per hour or, in the tower version, up to 270 cubic meters per hour.
In a short time, depending on the model, the air in rooms from 60 to 90 square meters is sanitized. In a nutshell, the air to be sanitized passes through a first filter, suitable for the treatment of dust and larger particles such as spores and pollen.
It is then channeled into an area of the instrument where a photocatalytic filter combined with the action of the UV-A LED acts on bacteria, pollen, molds and allergens. The photocatalytic filter coated with titanium dioxide also has an action on smoke and bad odors.
