Purivox airport gas cannons are among the most reliable and effective remote-controlled bird deterrent systems on the market today. Engineered specifically for airport environments, these systems combine ease of use, robust performance, and advanced features to support safe and efficient airfield operations.
Below are the key benefits of Purivox’s remotely operated airport gas cannons:
1. Designed for Airport Operations
Purivox bird control devices are purpose-built for use on airports and airfields. They seamlessly integrate into the daily routines of bird control units. With the need to clear runways and airfields of birds quickly and effectively, our systems are optimized for fast deployment and user-friendly operation.
2. Flexible Settings for Effective Control
Each unit offers a wide range of adjustable settings to suit varying bird control scenarios. Users can customize:
- Number of shots
- Shot groupings
- Volume level
- Firing intervals
This flexibility ensures that the devices remain effective over time, helping prevent birds from becoming habituated.
3. Remote Control Capability
All Purivox gas cannons are equipped with full radio remote control functionality, with a range of up to 8 km (5 miles). This allows bird control personnel to operate the units safely and efficiently from nearly anywhere on the airport grounds. Activation is fast and simple—just enter a unique two-digit code and the device is ready to go.
4. Safety First
Safety is a top priority at Purivox. The remote operation feature ensures that the user must check the surrounding area before activation. The system includes several security measures:
- Authorized-use protection
- Lockable housing with supplied key
- Durable stainless steel casing to protect internal components
5. Superior Build Quality
Purivox products are built to last. We use only high-quality materials to ensure reliable performance in all weather conditions. Each unit features:
- A weather-resistant stainless steel housing
- Durable solar panels, wiring, and radio controls
- Components manufactured to the highest technical standards
6. Customizable to Your Needs
Every airfield is unique, and Purivox systems can be adapted accordingly. We offer custom modifications such as:
- Larger solar panels
- Higher-capacity batteries
- Permanent power supply connections
- A variety of blast tube materials
7. Cost Efficiency
Purivox systems offer a highly cost-effective alternative to traditional bird control methods. Consider the comparison:
- Traditional pistol flare: ~2€ per shot
= Approx. 3,600€ per year (based on 5 shots/day) - Purivox gas cannon: One 11kg propane cylinder (~50€)
= Up to 20,000 shots per cylinder
This dramatic cost saving makes our gas cannons not only effective but also economical.
