Do Air Curtains keep insects out?

Air Curtains can be effective in keeping insects out to some extent. They generate a strong air flow that is blown across open doors or entrance areas and acts as a barrier against flying insects. This invisible barrier makes it difficult for wasps, flies or mosquitoes, for example, to enter the interior, while at the same time allowing comfortable access for people.

Effective insect protection with Air Curtains

Scientific studies have confirmed that this barrier effectively repels flying insects – with a repellent effect of up to 99.9%. The key factor here is that the air velocity is high enough to reliably prevent insects from entering.

Air Curtains are particularly beneficial in areas with high customer traffic, such as bakeries, cafés or restaurants, to ensure a pleasant and hygienic environment. In combination with other measures, Air Curtains offer an effective solution for reducing the intrusion of unwanted insects.

Technical requirements in accordance with American standard NSF37-12

For maximum protection, Air Curtain systems should comply with the requirements of the American standard NSF37-12:

• Air flow width: 5–12 cm
• Minimum air velocity: 8.13 m/s (measured 0.9 m above the floor)
• Door opening coverage: The system should cover the entire width of the entrance, ideally being slightly wider.
• Adjustable outlet nozzle: An angle of 15°–20° to the vertical is optimal.
