After our successful production of the mobile Prep Booth Brutus we realized that the Cosmetology and Nail Technology Departments were in need of something that would aid in purifying the air of harmful pollutants that the instructors and students are breathing on a daily basis therefore, we designed an air purifier that will aid in removing contaminated air of mold, bacteria, air borne particles, odors, fumes, etc. and it s totally automated with touch screen programming that turns the unit o and off automatically according to class scheduling. Studies show that working in this type of environment can cause long term health conditions. These types of contaminants in the air can get into the central air conditioning system polluting other areas of the building. Cosmo is very unique in design and compact taking up only a small area of 24 square to 70 tall and is portable; you may move it around the room or roll it up to a centralized area. Cosmo filters the air and re-circulates it back into the room. United Equipment Sales Inc. is helping to keep our planet GREEN.
