Heat Pod - How it works
The Entotherm Heat Pod works by heating insect infested items within a contained space. The Heat Pod uses an integrated heater and fan system, that delivers and distributes heat within the pod quickly and safely raising the internal temperature to the desired level.
The heat treatment kills the insects in two ways: denaturing the proteins within the insects bodies and disrupting the waxy layers on the outside of the insect, causing dehydration.
Electric heat probes, located within the Heat Pod, monitor and record core temperatures which ensures an even heat distribution. The treatment is monitored remotely via a laptop, producing a computer generated graph as proof of successful heat exposure for the required time period. The insect infested items are heated to eradicate pests, but not enough to cause any damage to products and items within the pod.
