The pioneer of hygienic air humidification has a long tradition in this field.
For STIELOW, it is therefore an obligation not only to fulfil hygiene requirements, but to exceed them.
Water can generally be described as "patient". Nevertheless, mistakes are often made when using air humidification equipment, which can have long-term effects.
If an air humidification system is contaminated, it quickly leads to contamination of the entire system. The dreaded danger to people in the workplace is then the inevitable consequence. It is extremely risky to operate such systems and costly to repair contaminated systems after an accident.
All effort is futile if the hygiene task is not solved correctly in terms of design. STIELOW therefore favours high-quality and hygienically perfect configuration right from the start.
Despite all the care taken in this regard, the atomising nozzle always remains the "final destination" for the treated and carefully used water, especially at its outlet. When the system is at a standstill, contamination quickly occurs, especially when room air enters the nozzle mouthpiece. Regular flushing of the pipework is not an effective solution because the stagnant water at the nozzle outlet is not reached by any ring main flushing. This means that the nozzle tip remains an unreached "end of the line". Forcing the nozzles into operation is also no guarantee of optimum hygiene.
Every year, a large number of systems become contaminated due to the introduction of impurities in the water used. Because water remains a special substance, measures such as flushing and forced commissioning or even draining the entire system (blowing out the nozzles or similar) do not lead to the permanent prevention of contamination, even in closed systems - in some cases, the problem is even exacerbated by such measures.
Using a high-precision dosing unit, the water produced is inoculated with OXIULTRA 27, which is neither corrosive nor toxic and does not attack human skin. This product is an extremely effective exclusive STIELOW GmbH product that is safe for humans and the environment. The product is water-clear and colourless and retains its effectiveness for up to six months. After this period, the 20-litre canister should be replaced and refilled. This measure is recommended to maintain the guarantee on the system and technology.
It is always possible to switch the dosing unit on and off at the main switch.
Another advantage of the product is that switched-off humidification systems remain hygienically stable even when switched off. After a period of approx. 3 weeks, however, it is recommended that the air humidification system is put back into operation.
This long-term property offers considerable advantages, even in the short term during shutdowns, business interruptions or company holidays.
With OXIULTRA 27 you achieve advantages that are not realised with other systems:
