These blades reduce dirt –
and even prevent pathogens.

The two fans presented here have been optimised according to sanitary considerations. Differences: One fan prevents
dirt particles and dust accumulation and thus primarily protects itself. The other attacks germs, microbes and bacteria –
in other words, contamination on a much smaller level. Common features: Both fans operate with a specially modified
surface, which is invisible, but displays its great effectiveness directly on the impellers.
Fans with nano effect The antibacterial fan
Everyone knows about the lotus effect: Water rolls off from the leaves of In medical and food technology, hygiene is the topmost priority. For these
