Book cleaning solutions
Professional machines for dusting books and documents in libraries and archives,
designed to remove dust in a controlled manner and support the preventive conservation of cultural heritage.
The challenge of dust in books
In libraries and archives, volumes are constantly exposed to dust accumulation, particularly in storage areas and high-density conservation environments.
Dust settles mainly on the external surfaces of books and documents and, over time, can compromise their condition, accelerate material degradation and affect air quality.
This is a progressive and inevitable phenomenon, requiring regular intervention to preserve the book and document heritage.
Guidelines for correct and effective dusting
Dust removal is based on a preventive approach, with targeted and non-invasive interventions. Dust is removed without the use of water or treatments that could compromise the structure of the materials, preserving the integrity of the volume.
Book cleaning machines
Innovative dust removal technologies are designed to meet different operational requirements, depending on the volume of work, the characteristics of the materials and the context of use.
Depulvera: automatic book cleaning system
For large libraries and high-volume environments, Depulvera enables the automated dusting of books with high productivity and operational continuity.
Pulvisina: compact book cleaning system
A compact and easy-to-handle solution for daily tasks, Pulvisina is ideal for small spaces and frequent maintenance of collections.
L’aura: semi-automatic system for archives and special materials
A semi-automatic system for dusting archives and unbound materials, L’aura allows for controlled maintenance on a variety of formats and types.
A machine for every cleaning need
Every context requires a specific dusting solution, depending on the materials and the method of operation.
The process of preserving knowledge
The conservation of books and documents is based on a structured process, comprising complementary stages that ensure their preservation over time.
Cleaning and dusting
Dust removal as the first step in preventing deterioration.
Disinfection
Disinfection treatments to eliminate mould, bacteria and contaminants that can damage materials over time.
Conservation
Solutions dedicated to the protection and management of the most delicate, antique or critically damaged materials.
Safety and the environment in dust removal
Dust removal is carried out using systems designed to operate in a controlled manner, ensuring operator safety and the quality of the working environment.
Cleaning and dust removal
During the dust removal process, dust is extracted and retained within the system, preventing it from being released into the environment and re-contaminating materials.
- Integrated extraction system with HEPA filters
- Dust removal and containment
- Operator safety
- Improved indoor air quality
