When dealing with powerful microwave technology, safety becomes a top concern—for both the operator and the structure being treated. Shashel understands this responsibility and has engineered its microwave pest control units, such as the Shashel Pro, to deliver effective results without compromising safety. Whether used in a historic building, a residential home, or a museum environment, the Shashel system is designed with multiple safety layers to protect both people and materials.
The first and most important safety feature lies in the precise targeting of the microwave energy. Unlike conventional fumigation or chemical treatments, which can affect surrounding areas, shashel microwave units use focused directional emitters. This allows the user to concentrate energy only on the infested wood, minimizing exposure to adjacent materials. The microwave beam is tightly controlled and does not radiate outward in random directions, which makes it safe to use even near delicate items like painted surfaces, electronics, or textiles.
Another key safety measure is automatic temperature monitoring. During operation, the unit tracks the heat levels within the treated wood. If the internal sensors detect that the temperature is approaching unsafe levels—either for the material or for fire safety—the system either slows down or stops automatically. This real-time temperature control ensures that wood doesn’t overheat or dry out excessively, which is particularly important when treating antique furniture, structural beams, or artwork. This level of thermal precision protects both the structure and its long-term integrity.
To safeguard the user, Shashel units come with built-in thermal shielding and casing insulation. The external components remain cool to the touch, even when the unit is in operation. This prevents accidental burns or injuries during setup, adjustment, or relocation. Additionally, the microwave system is enclosed in a sealed housing that prevents any stray emissions. Microwaves are directed inward toward the treatment zone and do not escape into the surrounding environment. This containment is verified through safety testing and complies with European safety standards for electronic radiation exposure.
Shashel has also taken care to design the user interface and controls in a way that minimizes the chance of errors. The system features a clear digital timer, power indicators, and start/stop controls, all of which are easy to understand and use, even for beginners. Once the treatment cycle begins, the machine operates hands-free and will automatically shut off after the selected time. This prevents users from accidentally leaving the device running longer than necessary, reducing the chance of overheating or misuse.
Another way Shashel promotes safety is through its recommended use of accessories like tripods and remotes. These accessories allow the microwave applicator to be positioned securely without needing to be held by hand. Remote operation gives the user the ability to activate or stop the treatment from a safe distance, especially useful when working in tight, elevated, or awkward spaces. The tripod mount adds stability and eliminates the risk of the unit slipping or tipping during operation.
Importantly, Shashel microwave systems do not use chemicals or gases, which avoids the dangers associated with toxic exposure, ventilation needs, or residual contamination. For homeowners, this means pets and children are not at risk after treatment. For professionals, it removes the need for respirators, gas detectors, or sealed-off workspaces. The chemical-free method not only supports environmental health but also protects the long-term condition of treated buildings and their occupants.
Finally, Shashel supports its users through comprehensive manuals, safety guides, and customer service. Every unit includes detailed instructions on safe operation, and the company provides ongoing support for both technical issues and treatment planning. Whether you are a conservation specialist or a first-time homeowner using the unit, you have access to the guidance needed to perform safe and effective disinfestation.
In conclusion, Shashel ensures user and structural safety through a combination of intelligent design, focused energy control, automatic heat monitoring, and robust physical protection. The system minimizes risks without sacrificing performance, making it a trusted choice for anyone seeking non-destructive, professional-grade wood pest treatment.
