Types of
Air Filters

Air filters play an important role in maintaining indoor air quality, as they effectively trap dust, allergens, and other pollutants.

With a variety of types available, each designed for specific needs and environments, it's important to understand the differences to make an informed choice.

Common types of
air filter

When it comes to air filters, there are many different types, in this article we will delve into:

Understanding these options can help you choose the best fit for your needs.

Panel filter

Pleated panel filters are essential components in maintaining ideal air quality across various environments, from residential to industrial settings. Airguard Envirocare's filters are customisable to fit your specific needs, ensuring you receive exactly what you require.

We provide quotes 24/7, ensuring you receive them quickly to facilitate prompt decision-making.

At Airguard Envirocare, we offer a range of frame materials for panel filters. You can choose from cardboard, plastic, galvanised steel, or stainless steel, each offering unique benefits.

For media options, consider glass fibre for prefiltration, synthetic materials for coarse and fine particle filtration, or activated carbon for fine filtration and solvent fumes.

In commercial HVAC systems, panel filters protect fine filters, enhancing their longevity while improving air intake and recirculation. They minimise downtime during installations and our panel filters come with ISO 9001 certified for quality assurance.

Our industrial air filter panels undergo rigorous testing and meet EN779 standards, ensuring operational efficiency. With various applications available, panel filters prove to be versatile, effective, and essential for maintaining clean air in your environment.

Panel Filter Applications:

Power Generation Panel Filters

Pocket filter

Pocket filters are an essential component in air filtration systems, especially in HVAC and industrial settings, where they handle high-velocity air intake and recirculation.

These filters serve as effective prefilters or secondary filters, designed to enhance air quality by capturing dust and contaminants. Their increased surface area allows for greater dust-holding capacity, making them suitable for various airflow requirements.

At Airguard Envirocare, you have the option to select from a range of frame materials, such as plastic for dimensional stability, galvanised steel for corrosion protection, and durable stainless steel.

The media options also vary, with glass fibre targeting a wide range of pollutants, synthetic media providing long-lasting versatility, and activated carbon removing fine particles and gases.

All of the filters we manufacture are custom made to meet your specific applications.

Regular maintenance and timely replacement are essential for best performance, especially in HVAC applications where energy savings are a priority.

V cell filters

V Cell filters are another popular choice in air filtration systems, especially in HVAC and industrial environments. These v cell filters excel in high dust holding capacity while maintaining a low pressure drop, making them energy-efficient and cost-effective.

At Airguard Envirocare, we specialise in manufacturing air filters tailored to your specific requirements. If you have an old air filter that needs to be replaced, we can easily replicate it for you.

Our frame materials include plastic (polystyrol) and stainless steel (available upon request). Plus, customisable header sizes of 20 mm or 25 mm allow for flexibility in installation. The soft pockets of pleated media enhance the surface area, improving overall performance.

When it comes to media types, we offer glass fibre and synthetic options.

With competitive pricing and a commitment to quality, our v cell filters (alongside all other filters) are manufactured to ISO 9001:2015 standards. Their energy-efficient designs contribute to long-term savings, as their longevity reduces the frequency of replacements, guaranteeing you get reliable performance.

filter mats

Filter mats serve as essential components in air filtration systems, effectively capturing and retaining particles to guarantee clean air passage.

You'll find these mats used in various applications, especially in HVAC and industrial settings, where air quality is vital. They excel in high dust concentration environments and are suitable for both prefiltration and secondary filtration stages, helping to mitigate pressure drops in air systems.

When it comes to efficiency, Airguard Envirocare’s filter mats range from G2 to F9 ratings. The G2 classification targets coarse dust larger than 10 µm, while F9 captures finer particles between 1 and 10 µm, filtering out contaminants like insects, sand, and tobacco smoke.

For those looking for high efficiency, HEPA-classification options are available. Contact us to find out more.

These mats utilise different media materials tailored to specific needs. For instance, G4 and G3 filter media are effective for particles over 10 µm, while M5 targets smaller particles for low purity environments.

With a commitment to quality assurance, we conduct thorough checks, ensuring reliable performance and customer satisfaction.
