What is disinfection by fogging?

What does disinfection by fogging involve?

La disinfection by fogging Dry disinfection or Nebulisation is an airborne surface disinfection technique (DSVA: Disinfection of Surfaces by Air).

This involves spraying a disinfectant in very fine droplets into the atmosphere, using a device such as MINIBIO S1 or MINIBIO S12, 

Or our 'flagship' device: JETBIO 2020 disinfection by fogging, which propels the disinfectant thanks to an air turbine "VORTEX à CISEAUX" with an output speed of 280 km/h . Propulsion distance 15 metres.

Our 100% "BIO" aerial disinfection product is APABIO

The mist of fine droplets of disinfectant thus formed will saturate the entire volume of the room and then settle on all surfaces in contact with the air.

They will therefore be disinfected, but without getting wet.

The product will begin to act on surfaces and destroy microorganisms present on surfaces (floors, walls, cupboard tops, desks, chairs, computers, printers .......).

With our JETBIO 2020 , the quantity of product is smaller, the contact time of the product and the drying time will be much shorter.

ATTENTION We're not talking about air disinfection, but surface disinfection.

How does a mist disinfection device work?

Operation is either manual or automatic. Our misters are automatic, fitted with digital timers or manual.

Our digital timers allow you to set a delay time before the appliance starts up.

This allows operators to leave the room before disinfection begins, enabling disinfection of room surfaces without human intervention.

With a regulated, controlled flow rate, these disinfection foggers automatically dose the product.

Simply start the programme and leave the room while the disinfectant is being propelled. What's more, the disinfectant mist will act throughout the room, ensuring total disinfection of all surfaces in contact with the air.

La (DSVA) (Disinfection of Surfaces by Air) is subject to the French standard for disinfection of surfaces by air, NF T 72-281, which attests to its effectiveness.

What equipment should be used for surface disinfection by fogging?

We recommend using very powerful in terms of disinfectant propulsion. The more powerful the device, the shorter the fogging or nebulising time.

As a result, product consumption will be reduced.

On average, a low-powered appliance consumes 6 times more product than our own. JETBIO 2020 VORTEX" turbine

According to current standards, a disinfection appliance consumes around 16 ml of product per minute.

A low-powered appliance will take 6 to 7 times longer to saturate the volume of the room with product and will therefore consume 6 to 7 times more disinfectant.

With our powerful JETBIO 2020 you only need 120 ml of product and 10 minutes of propulsion to disinfect a 100 m3 room

Our disinfectors are quick and easy to program. They guarantee effective disinfection results for institutions (crèches, retirement homes, etc.), doctors' surgeries, laboratories, public transport, the food industry and all sectors requiring disinfection that complies with current standards.

How do you test a mist disinfection device and ensure that the product droplets are fine enough?

During the COVID crisis, "Chinese" products invaded the French market. It should be noted that these foggers are not designed for disinfection, but for disinsectisation. Unlike disinfection, disinsectisation does not require fine droplets. Instead, disinsectisation equipment wets surfaces so that the product's active ingredient touches and has an effect on insects.

To compare, the size of the droplets from a disinfectant spray is 5µ, whereas those from a disinfectant spray are 30µ, i.e. 6 times larger, and will leave a wet surface.

  Chinese foggers don't have droplet sizes fine enough to saturate a volume of air. The droplets are much larger than 15 microns and fall very quickly to the ground, forming puddles that can damage the equipment present.
