The ‘Wells Anti-Virus Air Purifier Tornado’ is a product that simultaneously purifies the air and removes bacteria and viruses, and its sales have been steadily increasing since its launch this past February.
The product is notable for offering not only enhanced air purification performance but also an anti-virus function that removes airborne bacteria and viruses. In particular, it features the ‘Antibacterial H14 All-Care Filter,’ which is made up of an H14-grade HEPA filter—the highest grade of filter used in facilities that must maintain high levels of cleanliness, such as hospitals and laboratories. As a result, it not only reduces airborne ultrafine particles as small as 0.01㎛ (micrometers) by 99.999%, but also removes substances that cause atopic dermatitis and sick house syndrome, as well as various household living odors.
The air outlet features an antibacterial coating—an industry first—allowing it to manage even the bacteria and viruses that may contact or accumulate on the outlet and be released into the air. The antibacterial and virus-removal performance of the ‘Anti-Virus Air Purifier Tornado’ has been verified through certified testing by the Korea Conformity Laboratories (KCL), a state-accredited testing institution. In these tests, it demonstrated a 99.9% removal rate against harmful bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
The ‘Wells Anti-Virus Air Purifier Tornado’ also offers excellent air purification performance. Wells’ proprietary Double Cone filter structure creates a powerful whirlwind-shaped airflow that quickly removes even the dust near the floor. The air outlet employs an inclined-surface airflow method tilted at 17 degrees, taking indoor ceiling height and area into account. This creates the most efficient airflow, improving the cleaning speed by 30% compared to conventional methods.
A Wells representative said, “Since COVID-19, consumers have become increasingly interested in preventing respiratory diseases caused by bacteria and viruses, and interest in air purifiers with antibacterial functions is on the rise,” adding, “The government has recently begun establishing anti-virus performance certification standards for air purifiers used in educational facilities such as schools, so anti-virus products are expected to draw even more attention going forward.” 1588-4113
