Discover The Power Of The New Generation Of Vertical Cartridge Dust Collectors

Airex Industries PlatinumTM Series Dust Collectors are different from other dust collectors. Their ability to filter highly-contaminated air volumes in an extremely compact format is what sets them apart from the rest. As part of an efficient compressed air self-cleaning system, the cartridges allow for the continuous filtration of sub-micron dust particles with a constant differential pressure loss.

Our PlatinumTM dust collectors have doors and a manual cam system that require no tools and allows for an easy cartridge change out.

Main Advantages At A Glance

High Filtration Capacity
Models from 2 to 224 cartridges and up to 100 000 CFM capacity.

Custom Engineering
Special needs and custom designs available with PlatinumTM systems.

Low Inital Cost
The optimization of our design and assembly technics allows us to offer highly competitive prices.

Vertical Cartridge Design
Unlike horizontal cartridge designs that reduce filtering surface efficiency by up to 30%, Airex Industries PlatinumTM series dust collectors maintain a 100% filtration rate at all times.

Vertical Filtration Principle
How The Cartridge Dust Collector Works

The dust-laden gases enter through the side intake of the dust collector’s hopper, under vacuum or pressure (except for bin vents, where the air comes in from the bottom).

The gases are then filtered through the cartridges and exit through the openings into the clean air plenum. The clean air can either be channeled outside or re-circulated depending on the application.

Advantages

Fast, Simple and Safe Cartridge Replacement

Cartridge replacement is performed outside the dust collector and requires no tools. This eliminates the need to work within a confined space and allows the worker to access the cartridge without getting dirty. The cartridge comes with a rectangular top plate that simplifies manipulation and eliminates potential installation errors.

Continuous Operation

Unlike other types of dust collectors such as the shaker, the cartridge dust collector does not have to be stopped in order to remove and clean dust particles from its filters.

Economical

The cartridge dust collector is an economical choice because it requires minimal maintenance: only periodic cartridge replacement is necessary (depending on the application).

Filtration Technology

We Have the Right Filtering Media for Your Needs

In terms of performance, one of the most important criteria during the initial design of a dust collection system is the proper selection of the filtering media.

There are several cartridge models providing adaptation flexibility based on the characteristics of the various types of aerosols. The filtration effectiveness of Airex cartridges can achieve a level equivalent to HEPA, classified as MERV 16. In fact, a single cartridge has a total filtering surface that can reach up to 315 sq. ft. The compact aspect of such a filtering medium makes it a highly prized solution when the available space is limited.

Common Features

End Cap and Gaskets
Our standard end caps are made of galvanized metal (16" x 14.25") while our D-Shape gaskets are fabricated with continuous rubber (0.5" W x 0.625" H).

Operation Temperature
Cartridges maximum continuous operating temperature is 250 °F (120 °C) while the maximum short term operating temperature can reach up to 295 °F (145 °C).

Preventive Maintenance

Use a Proactive Approach to Increase the Lifespan of Your Unit

Like other industrial equipment, a dust collector has an assortment of components that you need to keep an eye on to ensure the unit is operating optimally. If these components are not maintained, the company could find itself in a potentially risky situation in terms of health and safety.

Airex offers a preventive maintenance contract that can increase the useful life of your dust collection system and its accessories. This type of program is also an excellent strategy for avoiding the unforeseeable in terms of breakages and unit stoppages.

By investing in the maintenance of your dust collector, you will also save money by avoiding emergency repair costs that are of course much most onerous over the medium and long term.

Stay Alert for Early Signs of Deterioration

Visual Inspection
Be vigilant to the appearance of corrosion, dust accumulation or even wear and tear of your system.

Variation of Noise and Vibration
Listen for a compressed air leak, fan vibration, or even an unusual sound from your system.

Tracking Operation Parameters
Make sure the performance indicators stay within the prescribed limits of your system.

HEPA Air-Purification Cabinet
cabinethepathumb

A versatile filtration device that can adapt to all circumstances

The HEPA air-purification cabinet is designed to extract smoke, dust, odours, microbes and any other type of airborne contaminant. This portable, versatile device is easy to integrate into your work environment without requiring the involvement of a professional.

With its high-efficiency multi-stage filtration design, the HEPA air-purification cabinet is an excellent solution for supplementing the existing ventilation system. The unit reduces the risk of contamination within the space where it is installed, thereby protecting the health and safety of the people in their workplace.

 This device is ideal for professionals who tend patients in a context where physical distancing is impossible.

Main advantages

Filtration efficiency
The cabinet delivers a maximum output of 595 m3 per hour (350 CFM) of purified air and has an efficiency of 99.7% at 0.3 µm using a HEPA filter. The unit can be modified with an ULPA filter to achieve 99.9995% efficiency at 0.12 µm.

Versatile use
Different usage configurations are possible, such as at-source extraction, ambient-air filtration in recirculation mode, or creation of a negative- or positive-pressure isolation chamber.

Advanced multi-stage filtration
The multi-level filtration design preserves the service life of the HEPA micro-folded filter

Filtration principle
Advanced multi-stage filtration

The HEPA air-purification cabinet is equipped with filtration technology for decontaminating the ambient air through three separate filtration stages that, when combined, puts out purified air of equivalent quality to an industrial filtration system.

When contaminated air enters the cabinet, large particles are first extracted by the pre-filter. The air is then directed to the HEPA filter, which intercepts the remaining fine particles. Finally, just before reaching the unit’s outlet, the activated carbon filter absorbs odours, smoke and other types of chemical pollutants in the air stream.

Usage contexts
at source extraction

At-source extraction

 Adding an extraction arm provides the ability to filter out contaminants at the source before they enter the environment. This configuration type is especially valued by dentists, whose work generates aerosols from body fluids.

ambient air extraction

Ambient-air extraction

Public areas such as waiting rooms and stores are places conducive to the spread of microbes and viruses with high epidemic potential. This is where the unit’s ambient-air filtration in recirculation mode really comes into its own.

isolation chamber

Isolation chamber

The HEPA air-purification unit is entirely appropriate when it’s necessary to confine a patient in a hospital setting, when that patient is infected with a contagious disease. The unit can remove the air from the patient’s room to the outside in order to create negative pressure. Likewise, when a patient is immuno-deficient, the reverse process can be applied by converting the room to positive pressure through the air supply generated with the device.

electronicairpurifierthumb

Nanoscopic Air Filtration Technology, An Unrivalled Solution

The Ionex Series electronic air purification unit is without question the ultimate decontamination solution. This technology is intended for environments requiring stringent control of the ambient air quality.

This patented Ionex Series electronic air purification system eliminates ultra-fine particles, as well as viruses, bacteria and mold. In addition, this air purifier is capable of filtering volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as smoke and odours.

Main Advantages At A Glance

Outstanding efficiency rate
The unit provides a maximum flow rate of 500 m3 per hour (294 CFM) of clean air with its filtration technology capable of achieving an efficiency of 99.7% at 0.003 microns.

No mercy for airborne contaminants
The unit doesn’t just filter aerosols, bacteria and viruses; it eliminates them using powerful, 24,000-volt electric shocks.

Continuous operation
The automated cleaning feature reduces maintenance and maintains optimal filtration efficiency at all times.

Filtration principle
Unprecedented performance

For comparison, high-efficiency HEPA filter technology has an efficiency of 99.97% for 0.3 µm particles. The ULPA filter has a higher filtration capacity of up to 99.9995% for 0.12 µm particles. Although the performance of these types of filters is very respectable, sometimes these filtration levels are insufficient for some settings.

For example, consider some sensitive environments where the air quality has to be 100% pure: laboratory cleanrooms, hospital settings (operating room, nursery), long-term care centres, high-tech factories, to name just a few.

The Ionex Series is designed to decontaminate air at the nano-scale. Its leading-edge electronic air purification method positions it as one of the most modern, high-performing units in any category. In fact, the Ionex Series can purify 99.7% of 0.003 µm contaminants.

Electronic air purification process
  1. Contaminated air is drawn into the unit.
  1. Aerosols are negatively ionized using a corona discharge inside the enclosure. They are then attracted to a positively ionized collection surface. Therefore, microbes, bacteria and viruses are eliminated by a powerful 24,000-volt electric shock.
  1. The air then moves to a section equipped with activated carbon that effectively removes volatile organic compounds (VOCs), smoke and odours from the airflow.
  1. The air exiting the unit is completely purified and free of particles, microbes and toxic gas fumes.
  2. The unit has an automated self-cleaning feature that reduces maintenance, while also keeping the filtration efficiency at an optimal level.
