Cleaning books by traditional manual methods is a tedious and mind-numbing job. Because of this it is difficult to maintain a consistent standard throughout a full working day.

Depulvera cleans books faster, safer and more efficiently. The last book of the day will be cleaned with the same care and attention as the first.

Depulvera is a complete automatic book cleaning system realized to remove dust from books. With one book single passage the machine guarantes an optimum dusting to your collection. It has been designed to give consistent high quality cleaning with the last book of the day being cleaned as well as the first.

This easy-to-use, labour-saving machine will safely clean 12 books per minute using only two operators, thereby reducing costs.

Dust and mould released during the cleaning is extracted from the Depulvera using a specially adapted HEPA vacuum cleaner to protect the operators and the surrounding environment.

(Cleaning using non-HEPA vacuum cleaners will spread the growth of mould throughout the library and will endanger the user from serious pathogens.)

The compact size allows the Depulvera to be moved easily between narrow library shelving to clean books ‘in situ’.

The Depulvera operates so quietly that in facilities with a centralised vacuum extraction system it can be used in normal library hours without disruption.

Much thought has been given to the design of the machine to ensure that no damage ever occurs to the books during the cleaning process. Leading conservation experts were consulted during the development of the Depulvera to ensure that the safest materials and methods were used in its construction. Sophisticated electronic devices are used to sense any resistance against the book and stop the machine if a problem should occur. It is absolutely safe for the operator and for the books.

The Depulvera still requires people to operate it but the automated cleaning of the volumes makes the process more enjoyable and faster.
