Insectocutors designed for pharmaceutical sector

Dutch company Berson has designed a range of insect exterminators specifically for pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing facilities.

Insectron exterminators utilise UV-A and green light to attract flying insects, particularly flies, which are very sensitive to these two light sources. A key factor in the Insectron's evolution is continuous research, which is carried out in collaboration with universities, research institutes and industry. As a result, the company claims, Insectron has a number of options not offered by other manufacturers of insect-catching devices. One of these is the Powertrap, a catch mechanism that prevents dead insects from falling out of the collection tray during cleaning. While mounted, the Powertrap is constantly open so that killed insects fall into the collection tray. When the tray needs emptying it must be dismounted; and when this is done the Powertrap automatically closes, thus preventing any dead insects from falling out. It is designed to fit every Insectron model equipped with a high-tension grid. The Insectron EX range has been granted ATEX approval for use in explosive, dusty and wet environments. It has ingress protection to IP65 and is suitable for areas where water is sprayed or where large quantities of dust or powder could cause explosions if a high tension grid was used. The range is supplied with a certificate from KEMA, the internationally recognised certifying body, which is a member of the European Network for Quality System Assessment and Certification (EQNET). It is designed, manufactured and distributed at Berson's state-of-the-art facility in the Netherlands.
