Venpur: The Air Disinfection Table

Creating a Safe and Purified Public Environment

Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020, the catering, entertainment, and other industries have been severely impacted. To provide a safe public environment and reduce the spread of the virus, the Sino-German Industrial Design Center has developed a groundbreaking solution - Venpur, a fully automatic table of air purification and disinfection.

Venpur, derived from the words "wind" and "pure," represents its core functions of ventilation and purification. This innovative table adopts ultraviolet light and oxygen-enriched technology to create negative pressure around the table, effectively filtering and disinfecting the surrounding air. By addressing the issue of cross-infection caused by droplets in public spaces, Venpur ensures a safer and healthier environment for all.

Equipped with an oxygen-enriched fan, Venpur enhances the speed of surrounding air circulation, guaranteeing efficient purification. The table also features an ultraviolet sterilization lamp, strategically arranged to maximize contact with the air during circulation, ensuring thorough sterilization. To maintain safety, Venpur includes an air inlet with a mesh grid structure, preventing foreign matter from entering the system.

What sets Venpur apart is its intelligent design. The table is equipped with an infrared sensing device at the air inlet, automatically activating the purification process when users enter its range and ceasing operation when they leave. This level of intelligent service enhances the overall user experience.

Venpur's multi-functionality combines a table with a purifier, effectively purifying droplets expelled during conversations and minimizing the risk of infection through sterilization and disinfection. The removable top cover allows for easy maintenance of the filter element inside the equipment, ensuring its longevity. Additionally, Venpur incorporates a call function for added convenience.

The development of Venpur began in March 2020 and was completed in December of the same year in Yantai. Extensive research underpinned this design, recognizing the need for air purification in public spaces. Venpur not only purifies indoor air and removes harmful substances but also ensures the circulation of fresh air. Its minimalist aesthetics make it fashionable, practical, and seamlessly integrated into any environment.

The Sino-German Industrial Design Center, led by Chief Designer Xin Tong and a team of talented designers including Christian Knapp, Suo Ren, Zhenmin Hao, and Liang Yu, overcame the challenge of reducing the spread of the virus in public environments through the creation of Venpur. Their dedication and innovation have been recognized with the prestigious Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2021.

Venpur, with its patent numbers 202120269328.9 and 202130067055.5, represents a significant step forward in creating a safer and healthier public environment. By combining art, design, and technology, Venpur contributes to improving the quality of life and making the world a better place.
