Product catalog summary
Introduction
Pest control is essential in food-related businesses to prevent contamination and disease transmission. Air curtains offer a non-invasive solution to restrict insect access, serving as an alternative to pesticides and traps. Airtècnics provides air curtains designed to minimize insect entry in settings like food establishments and hospitals.
Case Study
A study using honey bees demonstrated that air curtains with a velocity of 7.25 m/s can prevent insect entry with up to 99.9% efficacy, indicating effectiveness against other strong flyers and potential reduction in vector-borne and food-borne diseases.

  • Compact Fly: For doors up to 2 meters, suitable for service windows and small openings, with Comfort and Insect Modes.
  • Fly K: For doors up to 2.05 meters, featuring high velocity air jets.
  • Fly KBB: For doors up to 3.55 meters, offering high performance with low energy consumption.

Installation and Operation
Air curtains should cover the entire doorway and activate automatically when doors open. Adjustable outlet vanes should angle the air stream optimally, and outdoor installation is recommended to prevent odor attraction.
Selection Criteria
Selection depends on installation height and required air velocity, with models offering various airflow capacities and control options, including manual and remote control.
