This section provides information on everything you need to know about foggers and fogging, what a fogger can be used for and how to use it.
Product Details
How it Works. A fogging machine is a dispenser which uses air pressure to produce a very fine fog enabling the efficient application of various types of chemical solutions such as bactericides, virucides, insecticides, pesticides and odour control products.
These machines have become extremely important in the fight against Corona Virus Covid 19 as they are able to disinfect both small and large areas quickly and effectively with the fine fog accessing every surface of the room which otherwise would be difficult to treat and in a fraction of the time it would take to sanitise all the same surfaces by hand..
The fog particles produced are so fine they float in the air long enough to disinfect even the upper surfaces. It is important that you use foggable chemical solutions and not just ordinary disinfectants etc. They usually have a different viscosity.
The amount of chemical solution required is also reduced due to the effective distribution of the fog. It is important not to over-fog and end up wetting the surfaces being treated.
How to Choose a Fogger. The foggers on our website are all very similar so chooosing which fogger suits your pupose depends on a number of factors.
The most important aspect of any fogger is the minimum particle size. The lower the better, otherwise you will risk over-wetting the area your fogging and cause all sorts of problems with electrical equipment, dampness and mould etc .
The Nuoman fogging machineproduces one of the smallest particle size at 5 microns. With a range of 5 to 50 microns it is also capable of fogging large areas as well.and is ideal for offices, homes, coaches, truck cabs etc as well as much larger areas.
The best fogger for most tasks are the ones with the hose attachment. They are ideal for fogging on the move with the flexibility of being portable and able to point the fogger in any direction without having to turn the whole unit.
The hose versions also allow for fogging in tight spaces and under floor boards by placing the hose between the floor joists.
Although the foggers without a hose are portable and can be used directionally by pointing the whole unit, they are more suited for siting at a fixed point in very large areas.
