Effective sealing against insects
In food processing companies, quality assurance is a high priority: pests such as insects can transmit diseases, bacteria or viruses and thus endanger employees and end customers. But insects are also uninvited guests outside the food industry, because they can affect the production of films, packaging, coatings and hygiene articles and cause considerable financial damage. Once invaded, their removal is costly and burdens the business over a long period of time. Therefore, it needs reliable protection.
The best quality assurance: Blocking the way of insects
As important as insects are in their ecosystems, they can be just as disruptive outside. Film manufacturers, for example, have to install elaborate control systems to check their products for damage, production defects or insects.
Defects that are found lead to rejects of the goods, thus increasing production costs. Defects that are not found strain the relationship with customers and can damage the company's reputation.
To avoid this, a special solution is needed that reliably protects against insects: LWT-Airwalls.
Unhindered use of entrances without opening the door to pests
LWT-Airwalls generate a targeted, strong, laminar air jet that reliably prevents insects from entering through open doors or gates without killing the animals. The protective effect against insects has been scientifically tested by the Biocare Institute. Airwalls therefore not only provide effective protection, they are also energy-efficient and can reduce heating and cooling costs. In addition, they enable the unhindered use of entrances – without compromising on insect protection.

- Energy efficiency
- Occupational safety
What our airwalls can do:
- reliably keep insects from entering
- less insect intrusion means less production waste
- seal access points without making them impassable for employees
- provide better production conditions
- reduce energy consumption and thus emissions
Medium and strong settings of the air wall are sufficient to keep flying and crawling insects from entering interior spaces.

FAQ
Airwalls are systems that accelerate air to high speeds with the help of fans and compress it into a thin jet via a patented nozzle (pressure linear module). The generated air jet prevents layers of air from mixing. Our units can be mounted on the side of gates or above doors. The air jet then separates the air over the entire height. This keeps cold air outside in winter, for example, and does not cool the air indoors. Airwalls are modular and therefore have a lot of planning freedom. They can therefore also be retrofitted without any problems.
Air curtains have a lower air velocity and need a large volume of air to function. As a result, air curtains do not separate different layers of air, but mix them. As a result, if they are used to keep warm air indoors, for example, they need much more energy because they have to heat more air and the heated air mixes directly with the cold outside air. Our systems, on the other hand, work with a small volume of air at high speed and can thus reliably keep air milieus apart. This makes airwalls more energy-efficient and helps companies achieve climate protection goals.
Our Airwall Compact can be installed by customers themselves. For larger installations like our Airwall Grand, we work together with customers to plan the project, manage the installation and control the result. We work together with long-standing partners who take care of the optimal installation with a lot of expertise and enthusiasm. All planning steps are transparent and discussed with customers. Depending on the size and other general conditions, however, the installation can take different lengths of time.
Since airwalls reduce energy consumption in the long term, an investment usually pays off after a short time. The payback depends on the type of use, the size of the doors and the building, as well as energy prices. The mix of energy sources for electricity also plays a decisive role. However, most of our air walls pay for themselves very quickly. They are beneficial for the climate from the very first minute.
