3 - THE OPERATING SYSTEM
Among the wide range of air ionisers available on the market, the JONIX cube ioniser is a top
of the range device that combines high performance and a modern and attractive design.
This sanitizing device, exploiting the physical phenomenon of ionization, promotes the controlled
formation of particular electrically charged species in the air through an electrostatic field. The
latter simulates a natural process that normally occurs through solar radiation, mechanically or
by other physical phenomena.
The particular ionic species produced are proven to be particularly effective as sanitizing agents
in air and on surfaces, moreover they are scientifically and historically proven to be beneficial on
people, especially the negatively electrically charged species (i.e. those derived from single or
small groups of molecules receiving an electron).
JONIX cube:
• constantly reduces and eliminates bacterial loads in the air and on indoor surfaces;
• constantly decomposes volatile organic compounds (VOCs);
• it eliminates odours;
• is suitable for environments that need to reduce air contamination.
The sanitizing activity of JONIX cube is compatible with the presence of people and animals.
No chemicals are used and no harmful residual substances are generated.
Immediately operational, it does not require any set-up for its installation; it is the ideal solution
to improve the hygiene of air and of surfaces, the environmental comfort of professional activities
with high attendance such as pharmacies, medical clinics, hairdressing salons and beauty centres
and schools and is suited to all those environments where it is necessary to guarantee continuous
sanitisation activities even during the activities.
The device has a safety switch, positioned in such a way that when the protection cover (also
accidental) is opened, the power supply to the ionizing units and the fan is removed.
