Uses of Industrial Air Cleaners
Reliable Air Filtration for Industrial Environments. Industrial air cleaners are typically multi-stage filter units that collect liberal amounts of dust on pre-filters, and thus provide excellent filter life on the main high-efficiency filters (meaning that the low-cost pre-filters save the main filters, resulting in a cost-effective system). Free-hanging air cleaners may be used in multiples to create a planned air flow pattern and regular whole room filtration, or air cleaners may also be ducted or equipped with extractor arms for effective source capture of fine dust and smoke. Consisting of an integral blower and disposable filters, media air cleaners provide reliable performance, are easy to maintain, and are typically very versatile because they offer a range of filter types to fit any application, including optional HEPA after-filters.
Types of contaminants collected by media filter units include welding dust and smoke, soldering smoke and fume, dry chemicals, mineral dust, metallic dust, oil mist and smoke, powders, wood dust, ceramic dust, and fumes.
Industrial processes that benefit from the use of industrial air cleaners include sanding, grinding, buffing, welding, soldering, and machining. Free-hanging air cleaners are often used by industries such as wood products manufacturers, machine shops, auto repair facilities, and welding shops.
Advantages of Industrial Air Cleaners
- Reliability. Media air cleaners provide predictable performance over the life of the filter. Generally filtration efficiency will be diminished only when the filters are full, and all standard media cleaners are equipped with pressure monitors that are easy to read; whenever the air pressure drops, it is easily restored by replacing the filter.
- Easy Maintenance. Disposable filters in most industrial air cleaners are quick to access and replace when necessary.
- Efficient Multi-Stage Filter System. The inexpensive pre-filter collects a generous amount of dust, permitting only the finest dust to penetrate to the main high-efficiency filter. In addition, application-specific filters are available for special needs and HEPA after-filters are available on some models.
- Versatility. Not only do multi-stage media air cleaners come in various sizes with many options in filter selection and configuration to clean the ambient air of dust, smoke, mist, fume and odor, they may also be ducted or fitted with source capture arms for effective source capture of fine dust, mist and smoke.
