August 8, 2007 — Airflow Systems, Inc., has introduced the AirPod free-standing dust collection system, which provides high-efficiency collection and filtration of airborne contaminants, including: sanding dust, solid surface particulate, composite materials, metal finishing dust, dry chemicals and powders, says the company.
The AirPod provides 98% filtration efficiency of 1.0 to 3.0 micron airborne contaminants (MERV 11 filter efficiency).
The AirPod free-standing, ambient dust collection system eliminates the need for costly air ducting that is often required with centralized dust collectors. The new, exo-filter cabinet design positions the filters on the outside of the AirPod filter cabinet, increasing the filter collection surface area and improving total collection efficiency.
The AirPod is offered in three modular configurations: a single-pod (AirPod I), a double-pod (AirPod II), or a triple-pod (AirPod III) stacked module set.
The AirPod is powered by a direct-drive motor/blower yet requires less electricity than typical filtration systems and needs no compressed air. Air handling capacities from 2,500 CFM to 5,000 CFM ensure efficient collection in virtually any industrial application from metal fabrication, vocational schools and training facilities, to chemical processing plants. Multiple filter configurations are available, including MERV 14 efficiency, 99.97% efficient HEPA filtration for sub-micron particle collection, and charcoal-impregnated filters for odor absorption.
Airflow Systems, Inc., headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a leading manufacturer and global supplier of industrial, in-plant air filtration systems for the collection of dust, smoke, mist, and fumes. For more information, see the Web site.
