Equipped with an artificial tornado! Launched Tornex Blast, a large-volume air purifier that can replace ventilation
Tornex Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo / Representative Director: Shuo Matsui), which manufactures and sells smoking area systems and filters for residential ventilation, is a large air volume type business equipped with tornado suction. Developed the "Tornex Blast" air purifier. Sales will begin in February 2022.

About two years have passed since the spread of the new coronavirus infection, but recently, due to the influence of the Omicron strain, which is one of the new coronavirus mutations and is positioned as a concerned mutation strain, , the infection is spreading rapidly nationwide. Overseas, the infection is spreading more than in Japan, and it is difficult to see when it will end.
Among experts, there is a view that the new coronavirus is an airborne infection, but the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare requires ventilation at least twice an hour to prevent infection, and it is possible If so, it is effective to increase the ventilation volume as much as possible. In addition, if the windows cannot be opened sufficiently, high-performance filter-type air purifiers are said to be effective in compensating for insufficient ventilation*1. According to the Japan Air Cleaning Association's "JACA No.50-2016 Performance Evaluation Guidelines for Air Purifiers", the air cleaned by an air purifier is called the "equivalent ventilation volume" and is considered equivalent to the ventilation volume. is possible. Equivalent ventilation volume is calculated by "filter collection efficiency x processing air volume".
The "Tornex Blast" to be released this time is equipped with a tornado suction in the air purifier, which efficiently sucks air and cleans it quickly. Purified air is circulated throughout the room by honeycomb circulation exhaust.
In addition, the self-developed electronic dust collection filter installed in "Tornex Blast" can collect virus-sized particles with high efficiency*2, increasing the number of indoor ventilation and reducing the risk of droplets. lead to reduction. Viruses and bacteria adsorbed on the filter are inhibited by continuing to irradiate UV-C with a deep UV lamp. Unlike general HEPA filters, it has a structure that has less pressure loss and is less likely to clog, so it is possible to secure a sufficient "equivalent ventilation volume" without hindering the flow of air.
The "Tornex Blast" to be released this time can be installed in spaces where people gather, such as offices, commercial facilities, public facilities, and hospitals.
The price will be open from February 2022.

[Features of Tornex Blast]
Applicable floor area: 138m2
■Double side suction port
An artificial tornado is generated by uniformly sucking from both sides of the main body.
● Features (2) Honeycomb circulation rectifying exhaust
By honeycomb circulation rectifying exhaust, purified air is released far away and clean air is circulated in the room.
Exhaust direction can be changed by 15 degrees forward or backward
●Features (3) Filter that does not clog easily with no change in air volume from the beginning of use
(1) Pre-filter: SUS24 mesh
The fine metal mesh catches visible dust.
(2) Main filter: Electronic dust collection filter
Highly efficient removal of particles larger than 0.08 μm, which is almost the same as the virus size.
Clog-resistant filter with almost no change in suction power
(3) Deodorant filter: HC filter (activated carbon + inorganic deodorant)
Eliminates odors in the air.
*"Hybrid HEPA filter" can be added as an option.
● Features (4) Suppress viruses and bacteria adsorbed on the filter by UV irradiation
By continuously illuminating the filter with ultraviolet UV-C (wavelength 253.7 nm), which is highly effective in eradicating viruses and bacteria, the DNA/RNA structure of the captured viruses and bacteria is destroyed, suppressing their activity. will be
● Features (5) Filter performance evaluation test
Effectiveness test (1) Airborne virus removal performance evaluation test General Foundation Kitasato Environmental Science Center Test results
Effect test (2) Dust removal performance evaluation test
* Regular maintenance is recommended.
The Tornex Blast requires regular maintenance. We recommend a maintenance contract with us or an authorized distributor. Continuing to use the product without cleaning it may cause malfunction or damage.
