Welbilt Unveils High-Performance Portable Air Purifier

Welbilt, Inc. (NYSE:WBT), a leading global provider of commercial foodservice equipment, is delighted to act as exclusive US distributor for AeroTherm™, a new portable air purifier Powered by Trotec and crafted by Welbilt with touchscreen user interface, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® connectivity.

Businesses are springing back to life and taking steps to reopen; safer, smarter, and stronger than before. A key lesson learned around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic is the need for clean, safe air. Whether you’re welcoming customers to dine in with you again, reuniting your team in the office, or reopening a fitness studio, providing a safe environment where your staff and customers can breathe easy has never been more important.

With this in mind, Welbilt is proud to introduce to the US market a portable and affordable air purification solution that is already gaining accolades around the globe. AeroTherm is an effective, mobile solution for the air purification of virus-carrying aerosol particles and bacteria from indoor spaces.

Air purification technologies rely heavily on HEPA filters to curb the spread of harmful viruses and pathogens by retaining them in the filter. Welbilt’s scientifically proven air cleaner separates 99.995% of pathogenic viruses from medium to large-sized rooms with a HEPA H14 filter, and then goes one step further by periodically exposing the filter to thermal decontamination. This innovative additional process has dual benefits - it deactivates latent viruses and pathogens retained in the unit and extends the life of the filter for up to three years.

Designed to quietly deliver automatic, low-maintenance round-the-clock operation, the high-flow purifier quickly dilutes virus-carrying aerosols to a level that is significantly less infectious. Similar devices available on the market today can be clunky and difficult to move. Welbilt’s streamlined solution is fully portable, so you can use it where you need it. Simply plug in, switch on, and rest assured that you’re providing cleaner, safer air for your customers, colleagues, employees or students.

With an intuitive touchscreen and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, you can configure your device and monitor its performance remotely – leaving you to focus on your customers. AeroTherm puts the power of safe, new air in your hands.

Keri Llewellyn, Welbilt’s GVP & Chief Commercial Officer, commented: “The first step to providing a safe and healthy environment to reopen is ensuring the quality of the air we breathe. Our customers are excited to come back stronger and safer than ever before and we want to provide solutions that make that possible.”
