Cubusan – Breathe Deeply with Germ-Free Air
Turning a crisis into an opportunity is a universal formula for success. And that is exactly why the Cubusan air purification cube was created. When the coronavirus took us by surprise in the spring of 2020, no one yet realized what impact this virus would have on daily life: The strain on the healthcare system, disrupted supply chains and economic processes, closed schools, and the many restrictions on daily life have certainly left their mark on us. We realized that, despite all medical advances and technology, we remain vulnerable to a virus to a certain extent.
Innovation: Sterex Plasma Technology
The Cubusan air purifier was specifically developed by WINTERSTEIGER for indoor disinfection and works using Sterex plasma technology. Germ-free air is a particularly important concern in places where many people gather every day. In schools, workplaces, and public spaces, the Cubusan has made it possible to breathe freely again.
Risk reduction by up to 99.9%
Non-thermal plasma (NTP) neutralizes 99.9 percent of viruses and bacteria while they’re still in the air, reducing the risk of infection to a minimum. While conventional air purifiers first circulate all the air in the room and then gradually remove germs using filters, the Cubusan air purifier eliminates harmful particles directly at the source—where they are released into the air via aerosols. As a result, the system guarantees continuous reduction of the risk of infection. We’ve learned to cope with COVID-19. With the Cubusan, we also have a tool to minimize the risk of infection from future health threats, such as flu outbreaks. The Cubusan is a great example of how a crisis can lead to lasting improvements.
