The Zumik®on advantages
Zumik®on functions in all wood fire systems up to 35 kW
Fire places with open or closed fire pits, fire places and tile ovens, pellet and chipping heating as well as firewood fires in the cellar.
Proven efficiency of Zumik®on
Separation grade at maximum 90%, at average layout over 70%.
Maintenance of Zumik®on
The layer of dust which builds up in the exhaust gas pipe is cleaned by a chimney sweep in the usual manner, possibly a little more often than for systems without Zumik®on. The cleaning of the rust and particle layer is problem free from a health point of view, because no additional respiratory dust builds up here, as the fine particles are ammalgamated to make coarse flakes. There are no further care measures for the particle separator.
Zumik®on in no way limits the diversity of shapes
The installation of a Zumik®on in a new fire place or oven can be done effortlessly with careful planning and does not limit the shapes and materials that can be used.
Zumik®on can be integrated in existing systems
If the corresponding installation requirements are met, Zumik®on can also be installed belatedly. For fire place ovens there is a very discreet and shapely variant of the Zumik®on for belated installation in the connection pipe.
Low operating costs
Zumik®on needs no consumable materials. Its electricity consumption is minimal.
Zumik®on is very easy to operate and functions without any settings
Zumik®on requires no effort or settings from the operator. The control unit controls the current circulation and the power setting completely autonomously. A thermostat also guarantees that the Zumik®on turns on and off autonomously. The chimney sweep must be made aware of the existence of the particle separator.
