From how it looks, to how it performs and informs, AYR is smart in every way.

Designed to be as effortless as smoking, AYR is the first vaporiser that refills and recharges itself automatically whilst in its case. For the first time,“Glowdown” lights, show smokers how much they are vaping, so there is a clear start and end to every session.

FuelActive

FuelActive manufactures a unique patented fuel pick-up unit, which changes the way fuel is extracted from diesel fuel tanks. The radical design ensures that clean diesel is taken from the top of the fuel source rather than the dirty fuel at the bottom of the tank. This massively reduces the contaminants entering the engine and results in:

• Eradication of fuel related breakdowns
• Extended life of machinery and fuel line components
• Less maintenance downtime
• Increased productivity as a result of more reliable equipment
• Improvement in fuel efficiency over the life of the equipment
• Reduction in emissions as a result of burning cleaner fuel

AM Technology

AM Technology (AMT) manufactures a special paint-like product called Airlite™, which has extensive benefits for both exterior and interior building surfaces. Airlite™ harnesses the energy of light creating a catalytic reaction which neutralises air pollutants, destroys harmful bacteria and mould, reduces odours and prevents dirt accumulation. In particular, it significantly reduces airborne pollutants including NOx, SOx, CO and fine particles and destroys 99.99% of bacteria and mould spores on surfaces.

In addition, Airlite has very high solar reflective properties, and when applied to exterior walls and roofs heat is reflected away, with savings of up to 50% of air conditioning costs thus reducing CO2 and greenhouse gases.
