Pest treatment with temperature - KILL MANN

Ref.: KILL MANN

High temperature heater for pest control and drying processes

Our high temperature electric heater model KILL MANN is an equipment designed and manufactured for pest control and drying processes where hot air at high temperature is required.

The electric heater can be placed inside or outside the space that we want to disinsect or dry. The hot air will be directed towards the room repairing the heat evenly in all the corners where the insects can be found.

Heat sensitive material should be removed from the room as the temperatures reached can damage them.

The insects will die at a temperature of 48 °C for 150 minutes but if we increase the temperature to 55 °C for 60 minutes it will cause the elimination of the pest in all its stages (egg, larva, chrysalis, fully developed insect) by destroying the proteins from the body, a decisive factor in successfully eliminating the pest.

The elimination of insects and parasites with heat depends on the size of the room, the insulation and the ambient temperature. Therefore, the heating must be individually adapted in order to achieve the required temperature permanently for the necessary period. Otherwise, there is a threat that the parasites will re-develop.

If we apply this treatment to wood as an example, the core temperature of the beams and boards must be exposed for at least one hour to a temperature of 55 ° C. To achieve these conditions, the equipment must be maintained for a period of 8-12 hours.

The extermination of pests with heat treatment acts in all stages of development: from egg to larva, through chrysalis to adult insect.

Electric heater with duct

The applied technology allows to obtain the following flow rates and thermal jumps:

Airflow Thermal jump

440 m3/h 90 ºC

305 m3/h 139 ºC

215 m3/h 212 ºC

The equipment is totally portable and can operate with single-phase (2 lines) or three-phase (1 line) voltage.

The electronic control incorporates a PID algorithm that manages the 12 powers assigned to the equipment obtaining significant energy savings by adapting to the required power according to the requested temperature and detected by up to 4 probes.

The control can also manage the fan speed, disconnection delay once the setpoint temperature is reached, time programming and a fully parameterizable hidden menu to adapt the equipment to the needs of heating, drying process or simply ventilation.
