Introduction

Thank you for acquiring Samitech Smart Anoxia, the most complete and modern technological solution

to perform treatments in a controlled environment without oxygen. Smart Anoxia is a really simple

and comfortable system that allows anoxia treatments to be performed in a guaranteed, cost-effective

and uncomplicated way.

Anoxia treatments consist of removing oxygen from an airtight container in which oxygen is completely

eliminated, thereby causing the death of pests by suffocation and dehydration.

The Smart Anoxia system does not use gases such as Nitrogen or Carbon Dioxide. The treatment is

carried out by completely removing the Oxygen contained in the treatment bubble.

Please read this manual carefully before using the equipment, paying special attention to safety

instructions.

Product Description

Maintenance-free IoT sensor technology

Smart Anoxia uses a state-of-the-art electronic device that allows monitoring of oxygen concentration,

temperature and humidity inside the treatment bubble. The control unit incorporates a rechargeable

battery with 2 months autonomy and is equipped with a WiFi wireless connection used for sending

obtained data to the cloud.

The electronics incorporate industrial-grade sensors that are factory calibrated and do not require

periodic maintenance. Unlike other products, the Smart Anoxia oxygen sensor does not degrade with

use and does not need to be replaced.

Turn on the control unit and place it inside the treatment bubble to control remotely the entire

treatment.

The Smart Anoxia control unit requires a wireless Internet connection to send obtained data obtained

to the cloud. The factory predefined connection is the low-power IoT WiFi network of the router

supplied in the Starter Pack. You can configure your control unit to connect to any other network

available at the treatment site. Read the setup instructions below to select another WiFi network.

IoT router with 4G/LTE mobile connection

The Smart Anoxia Starter Pack incorporates a router device with mobile connection to GSM, 2G, 3G,

4G and LTE networks, which works worldwide. The router can service up to 32 Smart Anoxia control

devices simultaneously.

Free data service is included for a period of 5 years with coverage in up to 140 countries around the

world with mobile phone coverage. Some countries are excluded for political or technological reasons

such as China, North Korea, Iran and several countries in underdeveloped Africa.

The data service is intended only to serve Smart Anoxia devices and cannot be used for Internet access

of other types of mobile devices or computers. Any unauthorized use, modification of the router

configuration or removal of the SIM card included, will result in the definitive interruption of the data

service and loss of the warranty.

Oxygen-tight polybarrier film

The Smart Anoxia system incorporates a specific product to create the treatment bubble. It is an

aluminum-based film that comes in rolls and allows you to create a custom containers or bubbles.

Smart Anoxia polybarrier film has a plastic coating that allows hermetic heat sealing. Build the

User Manual

MANUAL SMART ANOXIA EN.DOCX 19/10/2022

treatment bubble to fit in the objects you want to treat by sealing strips of polybarrier film with the

heat sealer included in the kit.

The Starter Pack includes a 30cm long clamp thermal sealer to facilitate the heat sealing of the

treatment bubble.

Oxygen absorbers

The Smart Anoxia system uses oxygen absorbers to fully consume the oxygen contained in the

treatment bubble. Insert the recommended dose of absorbers into the treatment bubble (see dosage

detail).

It takes between 24 and 72 hours for oxygen absorbers to fully consume the oxygen inside the

treatment bubble. Outside temperature influences the speed of oxygen absorption. The absorption

time will be extended by approximately 1 day for each degree below 24ºC. It is not recommended to

perform anoxia treatments in environments below 17ºC. Remember that you can follow this process

in real time from your computer or mobile device.

The chemical reaction that occurs inside the oxygen absorber packages is exothermic; that is, it

produces heat. The oxygen absorber packages might heat up to about 50ºC during the first hours,

while performing the greatest oxygen absorption inside the treatment bubble. Once the oxygen level

is stabilised, inside temperature drops to ambient levels. It is recommended to maintain a separation

of about 30cm with any delicate object or use an insulator.

Oxygen absorbers are composed of iron dust, activated carbon, diatomaceous earth and salt. It is a

safe and non-polluting product that can be thrown away in small quantities or taken to a waste

management center.

Never open the oxygen absorber packets, their contents could leave stains on treated objects. In case

the contents of a new package come into contact with the skin, wash immediately with cold water for

several minutes.

Humidity control

The heating effect that occurs during the first treatment phase can produce an increase in humidity

inside the bubble. Depending on the dimensions and nature of the objects being treated, the ambient

humidity could rise by up to 30%. If the objects to be treated can deteriorate with moisture, you should

include humidity control sachets inside the treatment bubble to counteract that increase in ambient

humidity (see dosage detail).

The humidity control sachets are composed of bentonite clay, a natural and totally ecological product

that can be disposed of directly in the trash.

The treatment bubble

The treatment bubble is the container in which we will perform the treatment in a controlled

atmosphere with no oxygen. Polybarrier film is a flexible and oxygen-tight material. It comes in rolls

and it can easily be used to completely wrap the objects to be treated and build a custom made

container.

The procedure consists in joining several strips of polybarrier film using the heat sealer until the objects

are completely wrapped. Just before sealing the last bit, leave a small opening in the bubble through

which the oxygen absorbers will be introduced.

Preliminary considerations

Polybarrier film has two faces: the outer face with metallic luster and the inner face with plastic

appearance. The plastic face allows sealing and should be towards the inside of the treatment bubble;

the metallic gloss face should always be the outer face of the bubble.

Group the objects to be treated in such a way that the volume of air between them is as minimal as

possible.

Use the utmost caution during handling of polybarrier film so as not to deteriorateit. Avoid any rubbing

and puncturing to prevent piercing. Any pore could prevent treatment from being successful.

Use some reinforcing material such as cardboard between the floor and the base of the bubble and

where the objects rest to prevent damage to the polybarrier film. If objects have sharp or sharp areas

that may come into contact with the film, cover them as well to protect the bubble.

Do not open the plastic bag of oxygen absorbers until it is time to insert them into the treatment

bubble so that they will not lose effectiveness.

Connect the IoT router while making the treatment bubble preparations. You will need two to three

minutes to establish a connection. You can now turn on the control unit. Performing this process

before completing the bubble will help you record the environmental conditions prior to treatment.

Remember to have the control unit's battery fully charged to ensure you can complete the treatment

without the battery running out.

Try to foster free air circulation inside the bubble. Leave any type of container, drawer, door or

packaging open to avoid air bags that will slow down treatment.

Using the heat sealer

The heat sealer allows to join fragments of polybarrier film making it oxygen-tight. Seal two fragments

of polybarrier film in such a way that they are in contact with its inner face with plastic appearance.

The sealing should be as uniform as possible. Apply the sealer from the outer edge by clamping to

perform the seal. Remove the sealer, wait a few moments until the polybarrier film cools and check

that both fragments cannot be ripped off each other.

The heat sealer needs a heating time of several minutes to reach the selected sealing temperature.

The recommended sealing temperature is 160-180ºC. When the sealer reaches the selected

temperature, the temperature indicator changes.

Caution: The temperature of the heat sealer is very high. Keep the sealer away from your body and

other objects. Disconnect the sealer when it is no longer needed and wait at least 15-20 minutes to

store it.

The required sealing time is 1 to 3 seconds and will depend on the selected sealing temperature. No

pressure is required. Determine the optimal sealing temperature and duration on a portion of

polybarrier sheet that will not be used for treatment. Perform a test seal very quickly and repeat

several tests increasing the duration until the sheets do not peel off when pulled apart. A high sealing

time will pierce the polybarrier sheet and plastic debris may remain on the sealing surface.

Bubble mounting with polybarrier film

The polybarrier film allows to create a container using several fragments tailored to the objects to be

treated. The following indications describe recommended procedure for general use. Practice and

experience will allow you to define your own method.

Detailed mounting guide

Calculate the dimensions of the base of the set of objects to be treated to determine if the base is

greater than the width of the polybarrier film roll. If necessary, you can seal two or more strips of

polybarrier film longitudinally to cover more width.

Prepare a strip of polybarrier film long enough to completely wrap the objects. Place the film on the

floor and choose an end that will act as the base of the treatment bubble. Remember the importance

of using some protective material so as not to damage the film.

Place the objects on top of the polybarrier film area that will serve as the base. The control unit must

be turned on and connected to leave it next to the objects inside the bubble. Be careful not to obstruct

the ventilation slots of the control unit with other objects.

Cover objects around them with the strip of film until you can seal both the bottom and top ends.

Perform sealing. If the width of the material is sufficient, you can complete the sides of the bubble

with perimeter sealing. You can use additional strips of material to compose the side walls of the

bubble.

Leave an opening before sealing to insert oxygen absorbers.

At this last moment, you can extract the excess air inside the bubble using a conventional vacuum

cleaner. It is not necessary to create vacuum, just remove excess air to save oxygen absorbers. Be

careful with objects that may come into contact with the film and damage it when emptying excess

air.

User Manual

MANUAL SMART ANOXIA EN.DOCX 19/10/2022

Polybarrier film is a reusable material as long as it remains in good condition and without punctures.

When opening the treatment bubble, you can cut the polybarrier film next to the sealing area and keep

the folded bubble for further treatments.

Use of oxygen absorbers and humidity control

Oxygen absorbers allow the complete removal of oxygen contained in the air of the treatment bubble.

For the effectiveness of an anoxia treatment, an oxygen concentration equal to or less than 0.20% is

considered enough.

Oxygen absorbers are for single use only. They are completely worn out after each treatment and

cannot be reused. They come vacuum-packed in a clear plastic package. If you notice that there is air

inside the plastic bag, it means that air has entered and that oxygen absorber may be unusable or have

lost effectiveness and should not be used for treatment.

The moisture control sachets allow to absorb the excess moisture generated inside the treatment

bubble. Use them when needed.

How to calculate air volume

You can calculate the total volume of your treatment bubble by measuring its dimensions in meters:

length x width x height. This will give you the total volume of your bubble in cubic meters. One cubic

meter is equivalent to 1,000 liters. For example, if you have a bubble of 2 x 2 x 1.5 metres, the volume

will be 6m3 or 6,000L.

Since the objects to be treated occupy space, the volume of air inside the treatment bubble will be the

difference between the total volume of the treatment bubble and the calculated volume occupied by

your objects. Consider only the solid parts of objects and air present in drawers, cabinets and the space

between chair or table legs.

The dosage of oxygen absorbers should be carried out based on this calculation of the volume of air

contained in the bubble.

Dosage

La proporción recomendada para un tratamiento estándar es la siguiente:

User Manual

MANUAL SMART ANOXIA EN.DOCX 19/10/2022

Oxygen absorbers

1 pack per 500 liters or 0.5m3 of air

Humidity control

1 pack per 500 liters or 0.5m3 of air

Never use a lower dosage than recommended for the volume of air inside the treatment bubble. When

in doubt, always choose to overdose. An insufficient dose will not allow to reach the concentration of

oxygen necessary for treatment.

You can follow this guideline in a general way. For the treatment of objects composed of multiple

layers or objects that cannot be fully exposed to air, such as books, rolled textiles, packaged objects,

etc., you can double the proportion of oxygen absorbers for maximum safety.

Humidity control is optional and will depend on the nature of the objects to be treated. In cases where

the objects to be treated are particularly sensitive to moisture, you can safely double or even triple

this proportion.

Using the control unit

The control unit is an electronic device that collects information captured inside the treatment bubble

and sends it wirelessly to the cloud.
