What is VELOXY®?
VELOXY® is the world’s first system specifically developed for the cultural heritage sector to perform anoxic disinfestation of organic materials.
Suitable for all types of organic materials, it can be used on paper, parchment, wood, leather, fabrics, and multi-material works.
How is it composed?
The VELOXY® System is composed of six essential components:
- Main Unit (Nitrogen Generator)
- Compressor
- Oxygen analyzer
- Valves
- Gas-barrier film
- Heat-sealing clamp
These components offer several advantages:
Ease of transport: all VELOXY® System components are specifically designed to be transported on the worksite, making them lightweight and easy to handle thanks to their compact size and wheels. No component weighs more than 50 kg (110 pounds);
Quick assembly: all System components are designed for fast and easy assembly in any location. As a result, the VELOXY® System can be up and running in less than five minutes;
- Electrical Connection: To operate, the VELOXY® System uses a standard household electrical connection, so it does not require industrial outlets or advanced electrical connections.
How does the VELOXY® System work?
The VELOXY® System uses innovative technology to generate pure nitrogen from the air and send it into a special gas-tight envelope tailored by the operator (or customer) to contain the artworks.
The artworks are enclosed in an oxygen-free environment for approximately 21 days, a time frame necessary to eliminate all pest species.
The Main Unit of the VELOXY® System can be disconnected once the anoxic level inside the enclosure (i.e., 0.2% oxygen) has been reached. After this procedure is completed, the envelope must remain sealed for approximately 21 days before it can be opened and the artworks removed.
After being disconnected, the System is fully operational and can be used for other anoxic treatments. This feature enables multiple anoxic treatments to be performed within a short timeframe.
