PROGUARD DXB MINI

ProGuard DXB Mini: active purification in a compact format

The same technology as the DXB 100, for spaces up to 23 m².

The DXB Mini uses the same process as the DXB 100 in a 1.5 kg wall-mounted housing. It is suited to small grow rooms, drying rooms, propagation areas and technical rooms where space is at a premium. The diffusion grille faces upwards: mount the unit as high as possible on the wall, or on the ceiling, 30 to 60 cm above the top of the canopy.

ProGuard technology

Two processes work together. Photocatalytic oxidation (ARC) uses ultraviolet radiation to activate a multi-metal catalyst: moisture in the air is converted into vaporised hydrogen peroxide, an oxidant that destroys pathogens before turning back into water vapour. Bipolar ionisation then generates positive and negative ions that carry this oxidant to the pathogens, in the air as well as on surfaces.

What sets it apart from a HEPA filter or a UV lamp is this transport. A filter only treats what passes through it, and in a room of several dozen square metres, most spores never reach it. The ProGuard process is active: it reaches the pathogens, including on surfaces, walls and equipment.

Sizing and timer operation

The unit is calibrated for 23 m² in continuous operation. In a smaller room, the manufacturer recommends running it intermittently using a timer:

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 produces the oxidation. Once it reaches the end of its service life, the unit keeps running but its efficiency drops: replacing the cell is what determines the result.
