Hurricane ES Electrostatic Fogger 230V

The Curtis-Dynafog Hurricane ES is an electrostatic fogging machine designed for the application of disinfectants, sterilisers, and biocidal treatments across commercial environments. It works by passing liquid through the machine and breaking it down into an ultra-low volume (ULV) mist of fine droplets, which are then given an electrostatic charge. That charge causes the droplets to actively attract to surfaces — including the undersides and rear faces of objects — rather than simply settling under gravity. The result is a more even, thorough distribution of product than conventional spray methods typically achieve.

In commercial catering environments, fogging is commonly used as part of deep-cleaning programmes, end-of-day or end-of-week sanitisation routines, and post-incident decontamination. The electrostatic charging mechanism is particularly useful in kitchens where equipment is densely arranged and surfaces are irregular — the charged droplets wrap around equipment legs, pipe runs, and shelving units that handheld sprays often miss. With a 3.8-litre tank capacity, the Hurricane ES is practical for coverage of medium to large kitchen areas without constant refilling interrupting the process.

Key practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Electrostatic charge improves surface adhesion and wrap-around coverage on complex equipment
• ULV droplet size allows disinfectant to remain airborne briefly, treating surfaces and air simultaneously
• Faster area coverage compared to manual wiping or trigger-spray application
• Suitable for use with a wide range of approved disinfectant and sterilisation fluids
• Lightweight, portable design allows movement between prep areas, dry stores, and service spaces

On the practical side, the Hurricane ES runs from a standard 230V supply, making it straightforward to use across most commercial premises without specialist electrical provision. It is a handheld, portable unit rather than a fixed installation, so there are no mounting or plumbing requirements. Operators should ensure the space is vacated during fogging and that adequate dwell time is observed before re-entry, in line with the chemical manufacturer's guidance. The choice of fogging fluid matters significantly — the machine itself is compatible with various formulations, but operators should verify that any chosen disinfectant is approved for ULV application and appropriate for food-contact environments.

The Hurricane ES is well suited to catering operations that carry out regular deep-cleaning cycles — contract caterers, hotels, school kitchens, care home catering facilities, and high-throughput restaurants are typical users. It is also used by specialist cleaning contractors working across multiple sites. For very large facilities or high-frequency commercial decontamination work, higher-output fogging equipment may be worth considering.

If you have questions about which fogging fluid is appropriate for your kitchen environment, or whether this unit suits the scale of your operation, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
