The Purivox Airport bird control devices are radio remote-controlled propane gas cannons specifically designed to prevent bird strikes and ensure airport safety. These advanced devices actively deter birds by emitting loud, periodic bangs, simulating natural threats and effectively scaring birds away from critical areas, especially near runways.
As reliable tools in the fight against bird-related hazards, these systems play a crucial role in minimizing the risk of bird strikes, which can pose serious safety threats to aircraft during takeoff and landing. The Purivox bird control devices are an essential part of an airport’s wildlife management strategy, offering an efficient, non-lethal solution to protect both aircraft and wildlife.
Efficient and Safe Bird Strike Prevention
The Purivox Airport bird control devices are operated with the Purivox TX-H3 radio remote controller, allowing airport Bird Control Units or wildlife personnel to manage bird deterrence effectively. In cases where tower personnel are involved in bird control, a stationary remote controller (Purivox DESK) is used from the control tower.
When birds appear in areas of the airfield that could pose a hazard to aircraft, the bird control team can quickly take action. By using the Purivox device closest to the birds, they can clear the area efficiently and safely.
The bird control process is initiated with a loud shot combination, which starts immediately once the bird control team has given clearance via the radio remote controller. This controller offers a range of up to 8 km (*depends on the local conditions and the used radio frequency) around the device, ensuring a wide operational coverage.
The required propane gas is supplied by a securely installed gas cylinder within the Purivox device, ensuring a safe and continuous operation.
Purivox offers a range of four different bird control devices, each designed for different areas and situations, allowing airport personnel to select the most appropriate tool for the task at hand. This versatility ensures maximum effectiveness in bird deterrence, minimizing the risk of bird strikes and enhancing airport safety.
The Purivox Airport bird control devices are operated exclusively using the Purivox TX-H3 radio remote controller, ensuring that the devices are only activated when necessary. This controlled usage optimizes the scaring effect and ensures efficient bird deterrence, which is essential for airport safety.
Key Bird Control Principle:
An important rule for effective bird control is: Shoot less, not more. By minimizing the frequency of shots, the scaring effect is enhanced, making the deterrent more effective. The goal is not to overuse the devices but to create a highly impactful scare that drives birds away without causing unnecessary disturbance.
Safety Guidelines:
For safety purposes, it is crucial to always wear hearing protection when in close proximity to the Purivox Airport bird control devices, as the loud shots can pose a risk to hearing.
