They carry contamination from drains and waste bins straight onto food contact surfaces, and a single complaint or failed audit can cost far more than the equipment that would have prevented it. For most Indian facilities the first line of defence is an insectocutor , and at Aircon Engineers we are asked the same questions again and again: which model, how many, where to mount it and how often to service it. This guide answers those questions in plain terms so you can plan the job properly before you buy. What an Insectocutor Actually Does An insectocutor is a UV-based flying insect killer. Inside the housing sit one or more fluorescent tubes that emit UV-A light, mostly in the 350 to 370 nanometre band.

That moving barrier keeps conditioned air insi...
