02 //THE SYSTEMS

The Bio-Shield line — systems for every scale.

From the simple gate of your farm to industrial multi-lane systems for borders and ports. Greek design, Greek manufacturing.

GREEK ENGINEERING CUSTOM DESIGN PER SITE

THE LINE

Three models. One criterion: full coverage.

THE ECONOMIC & RELIABLE CHOICE

DX-100 Basic

The simple, rugged gate for farms and small facilities. Exactly what you need to control the entrance — nothing more, nothing less.

  • Standard passage dimensions
  • Automatic passage activation
  • Simple installation & maintenance
THE SMART AUTOMATED SOLUTION

DX-300 Smart

For farms, slaughterhouses and businesses with daily vehicle flow. Motion sensors, precise dosing and a ground bar for the chassis.

  • Dimensions 4.8m height × 4m width (standard)
  • 28 precision nozzles + ground bar for the chassis
  • Solution dosing 0.2% – 2%
  • Motion sensors — instant activation
  • Timer + Emergency Stop, optional wireless remote
THE FLAGSHIP

DX-700 Titan

The industrial system for borders, ports and large facilities. Custom design, a 40-nozzle 'tunnel effect' and full digital control via Smart Control.

  • Custom Fit dimensions per site
  • 30–40 nozzles for full 360° coverage (tunnel effect)
  • Smart Control: passage counter, touch screen, USB export
  • Compatible with powders (Virkon type) & liquids up to 10%
  • Anti-freeze protection — Extra High Performance class
MOBILE UNIT

Mobile Defender — biosecurity that goes where it's needed.

A fully autonomous disinfection system that travels in a 3.5t commercial van and is operational within minutes — no permanent infrastructure, no water supply required.

01Plug & play — assembled and running in minimal time
021,000L IBC tank for full autonomy
03Same precision nozzle technology as the Titan line
04For ports, service areas, quarantine zones and outbreak hotspots

HOW IT WORKS

From approach to logged passage — in seconds.

01

Detection

Sensors detect the vehicle and activate the system automatically — no operator required.

02

Spraying

Precision nozzles cover roof, sides, chassis and wheels with a dedicated ground bar.

03

Passage

The vehicle passes without stopping — full coverage, uninterrupted flow, zero congestion.

04

Logging

Digital passage counter and reports — data ready for every inspection.

DISINFECTION TRENCH vs AUTOMATED GATE

In 2026, the disinfection trench is a thing of the past.

The trench — a pit of water and disinfectant on the road — looked like a cheap solution. In practice it is a biosecurity measure that no one can control: not the dose, not the strength, not whether it ever worked.

ARGUMENT 01

The dosage is impossible to calculate

How much water is in the trench? Nobody knows. If it rains, the disinfectant is diluted and weakened. In the heat, water evaporates and it concentrates. The real concentration changes every hour — so the dose is always less or more than the correct one, never correct.

ARGUMENT 02

In a dirty trench the disinfectant dies

Organic matter — mud, manure, leaves — chemically deactivates most disinfectants. A trench that received muddy vehicles turns into a liquid pollution load: the solution no longer disinfects, it merely looks like disinfection.

ARGUMENT 03

Nobody empties it — because of cost

Due to the large water volume, replacing the solution costs money — so it is rarely ever emptied. The same dirty, weakened solution “works” for weeks. Result: a false sense of security, worse than nothing.

ARGUMENT 04

One muddy truck makes it useless

A single dirty vehicle carries kilos of mud into the trench — and the balance is gone. Either overdose (damages vehicles and environment) or underdose (zero protection). There is no in-between state you can prove.

ARGUMENT 05

It covers only the wheels

The virus doesn’t travel only on tyres: chassis, underbody, side panels, covers. The trench wets only what is submerged — the rest of the vehicle passes untouched.

ARGUMENT 06

Zero documentation

In an inspection or a disease outbreak, the trench gives you nothing to show: neither when a vehicle passed, nor at what concentration, nor whether there was any disinfectant at all. In the era of Regulation (EU) 2016/429, “trust me” is not enough.

THE ANSWER: THE HYDRAVA AUTOMATED GATE

Why the automated gate always wins.

01Advanced dosing pump: on every litre of water it calculates the correct disinfectant dose — steadily 0.2%–2%, no matter what
02Sprays exactly as much as needed and as much as the owner wants — adjustable dose, not luck
03Disinfectant is always mixed with clean water at the moment of passage — never dirty, never dead
04Far lower water and disinfectant consumption — no thousand litres rotting in a pit
05Full vehicle coverage: body, wheels, chassis, underbody — not just tyres
06Recording of every passage — demonstrable proof for every inspection
WHY AUTOMATED

Manual disinfection fails exactly where automated wins.
