PROGUARD DXB 100

ProGuard DXB 100: Active Air and Surface Sanitization

Continuous reduction of fungal and bacterial growth, up to 46 m², in the presence of plants.

The DXB 100 continuously treats the air and surfaces in a grow room without interrupting production. It mounts on a wall or ceiling, blows downward, and operates 24 hours a day throughout the entire cycle. It is designed for grow rooms, greenhouses, and drying rooms—where powdery mildew and botrytis are most prevalent.

ProGuard Technology

Two processes work together. Photocatalytic oxidation (ARC) activates a multi-metal catalyst using ultraviolet radiation: moisture in the air is converted into vaporized hydrogen peroxide, an oxidizing agent that destroys pathogens before reverting to water vapor. Bipolar ionization then generates positive and negative ions that carry this oxidizing agent to pathogens, both in the air and on surfaces.

The difference between this and a HEPA filter or a UV lamp lies in this mode of transport. A filter only treats what passes through it, and in a room measuring several dozen square meters, the majority of spores never reach it. The ProGuard process is active: it comes into contact with pathogens, including those on surfaces, walls, and equipment.

Installation and Sizing

The unit can be installed in just a few minutes without an electrician: two screws, a bracket, and a plug. Position it so that the bottom of the unit is 60 to 90 cm above the top of the canopy, away from fans and air intakes. Ceiling height is not a factor in the calculation; only the floor area matters.

For areas larger than 46 m², several units are distributed throughout the room rather than a single, more powerful unit, to avoid dead spots.

Ozone

The UV lamp in the PCO unit produces a small amount of ozone. This ozone production is intentional and has been tested: it poses no danger to people, animals, or plants in a properly sized and ventilated room. This is the model the manufacturer recommends for grow rooms. For spaces with poor air circulation, where ozone would accumulate, the manufacturer offers an ozone-free version that is not yet listed in our catalog.

Maintenance

• Filters: Replace approximately every 3 months, depending on the environment
• PCO Cell: Replace every 12 to 15 months in professional use
• Manufacturer's warranty: 2 years

The PCO cell is the catalyst that drives the oxidation process. Once it has reached the end of its service life, the device continues to operate but its efficiency decreases: replacing it is essential for optimal performance.
