M5 SERIES
M5 Upper Air UVC Unit
Reengineered for 2026: washdown-rated, no moving parts, designed for facility-wide deployment.
We’ve reengineered the M4 for 2026 around a single question: What would a UVC unit designed for facility-wide deployment look like? The answer was the M5. No fan. One to three quartz-sleeved 254nm lamps instead of four as the only configuration. Three-quarters fewer electronic components. The result is a unit rated to IP54 for full wet washdown—clean it the way you’d clean any other piece of barn equipment. Silent by design and simple enough to deploy throughout a confinement building rather than installing one costly unit at a time.
