The PHOTOCATALYTIC GATE® is a patented, innovative and highly effective system for air and surface disinfection – fully recognised in medical and livestock facilities. It has been proven 100% effective against avian influenza (HPAI), salmonellosis, and colibacteriosis.
The technology reduces the spread of viruses, bacteria, spores, moulds and fungi, enhancing biosecurity and preventing cross-contamination and staff-related transmission. It eliminates the need for costly antibiotic treatments, significantly lowers animal mortality and improves overall animal health, supporting proper weight gain. When installed at air outlets, it also reduces unpleasant odours. In poultry hatcheries, the PHOTOCATALYTIC GATE has successfully eliminated Salmonella.
The PHOTOCATALYTIC GATE® uses photocatalysis, which involves a photocatalyst activated by UV light. The system effectively degrades organic pollutants and microbiological contaminants. It has been confirmed that the appropriate combination of photocatalysis, UV light with a minimal dose of ozone (UV/O3), and copper’s antifungal compounds offers excellent efficiency and long-term durability.
It is effective against a broad spectrum of pollutants:
• Bacteria: Klebsiella pneumoniae NDM-1, Acinetobacter baumannii, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, MRSA, Enterococcus hire, E. coli, Clostridium difficile, Legionella pneumophila, L. brevis
• Viruses: coronaviruses (e.g. SARS-CoV-2), measles virus, varicella virus, influenza virus, HIV virus, hepatitis C, hepatitis B, hepatitis D, EBOLA and Marburg, Adenovirus type 5, Poliovirus type 1, and others.
• Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Mycobacterium terrae, M. avium
• Fungi: Candida albicans, Aspergillus brasiliensis, Aspergillus albicans, Aspergillus niger
• Spores: Clostridium difficile, Bacillus subtillis, B. cereus
The technology is effectively implemented in poultry farms in all types of mechanical ventilation systems: cross, chimney, or tunnel, whether overpressure or underpressure, as long as all ventilation air inlets are protected.
The patented PHOTOCATALYTIC GATE® technology consists of:
• Full airflow coverage for complete disinfection
• Modular, universal design for scalable installation
• Easy servicing with pull-out components for lamp and filter replacement
