As summer temperatures rise, the challenges in work environments such as production halls, logistics centres, workshops and warehouses increase significantly. In large, poorly insulated or open-plan buildings, effective air conditioning is often difficult to implement. Employees who have to perform physical work under these conditions are particularly affected. Targeted, reliable cooling is crucial for staff wellbeing, concentration and long-term performance.
Mobile evaporative coolers offer a practical solution for precisely these requirements. Unlike central air-conditioning systems or permanently installed units, our devices specifically focus on cooling people at their workstations – regardless of the size or structural layout of the building.
The principle is based on natural evaporative cooling: warm air is passed through a wetted medium, causing water to evaporate and remove heat from the air. The air temperature drops noticeably without the use of refrigerants or energy-intensive compressors. The cooled air is directed straight into the area where employees are present or working.
Thanks to their mobility, the units can be used flexibly wherever they are needed – for example at assembly stations, packing stations, in warehouse zones or order-picking areas. Operation is energy-efficient, low-maintenance and environmentally friendly, as only water and electricity are required. In addition, fresh air is supplied continuously, improving air quality and creating a more pleasant indoor climate.
The importance of targeted cooling is also demonstrated by current studies: According to the German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA), high temperatures at the workplace lead to measurable declines in performance from as early as 26 degrees Celsius. Above 30 degrees, physical strain increases significantly, while at 35 degrees there is a serious occupational health risk. A study by Techniker Krankenkasse also shows that heat-related absences increase during the summer months – particularly in commercial and industrial sectors. Studies show that productivity can fall by up to 30 percent at temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius.
Mobile evaporative coolers are particularly suitable when full hall cooling is not necessary or economically viable. They provide targeted relief at heat-exposed workstations and help reduce physical strain, impaired concentration and sickness-related absences.
With hot summer days approaching, now is the right time to take precautions. Our mobile cooling systems can be implemented at short notice and deployed directly where they are needed most.
