Visit to the Finnish factories in Lahti and Kausala and their innovation hubs
Great update on all the new Halton technologies and future developments in HVAC for marine, offshore, heavy industry, healthcare and energy.
In the month of May, we had the opportunity to visit two Halton factories in Finland.
The historical Kausala, where Halton was born in 1969 and which develops and produces HVAC products especially for the civil and healthcare sectors (for further information on some projects it is possible visit the dedicated page), and the Lahti plant of Halton Marinand for HVAC solutions for the naval, marine, offshore, heavy industry and energy sectors.
Among the active principles in Halton's research and development activities, in addition to the fundamental ones of safety, comfort and individual well-being, there are the'energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
It was an opportunity to meet our colleagues in person but also for training moments and to learn about the innovations underway in the Research and Development department and in the innovation Hubs.
In the energy and heavy industry sector, the recent acquisition in the group of Flamgard Calidair has enabled an expansion of the product range in heavy industry sectors such as nuclear, onshore and other projects and the energy sector as for wind farms.
As regards the cabin ventilation, we visited the mock-up installation of the new developed Halton cabeam cold beam product (for more information we recommend you to read more on the dedicated page on Halton Cabeam), which is already of interest to important players in the sector in order to change the ventilation paradigm of passenger/staff cabins.
In the sector of professional kitchen ventilation, the new Halton Connect remote monitoring system was presented, which is based on IoT - Internet of Things technology and allows for greater efficiency and savings, for more information visit the reference page.
At one of the innovation hubs, we saw the Halton JES hoods in operation –Jet Extraction System for front kitchens or Korean barbecue.
In the healthcare sector, we visited one of the innovation hubs in Kausala where we learned about several products from the Halton Vita line and where optimal air ventilation and hygiene conditions are tested for environments such as operating rooms, clinical laboratories and others. In this regard, Halton's long experience and collaboration with renowned institutions such as the Karolinka Institute. in the healthcare sector, has allowed us to contribute to the development of certified devices in the mitigation of the spread of micropathogens such as viruses and bacteria in the air of indoor environments, even those not strictly for healthcare environments. For example, the autonomous mobile unit Halton Sentinel which uses UVGI technology.
There UVGI technology It is also used in school environments to reduce the spread of viruses in the air.
Or Halton 4 plane installed in ducts that purifies the air in four stages.
With the same goal, the technology of central vacuum cleaner of dust and micro-dust, used on offshore platforms, hotels and cruise ships allows a safer environment in terms of fewer micro-pathogens in the air.

There will be more news soon, thanks to the intense research work of the R&D department.
