Clean Air
It’s no secret that we are what we eat – but you might not realise that we are what we breathe, too.
The quality of the air we breathe is rarely discussed. It should be – given that we breathe about 11,000 litres of the stuff every day! Unfortunately, those 11,000 litres of air are rarely clean – especially in the workplace where there are many pollutants in the area. But what does this mean, and why does it matter? It’s simple – even a small amount of polluted air can lead to physical and mental illness if it’s inhaled over a period of time. Beyond the health benefits, low quality air – filled with dust and pollutants – has an impact on maintenance, too. From cleaning machines to shutting them down, dust in the air makes life difficult. Clean air solves all of these problems!
Don’t worry, we’re here to help. We’ll be explaining how we:
Contribute to improved health of your team
Protect you from avoidable staff absenteeism
Reduce your cleaning costs
Minimize machine downtime
Clean up your corporate image
Though invisible to the human eye, particles drifting through the air in commercial settings can have a tangible impact on your business. From insulation manufacturers battling fine dust to offices combatting allergens, pollutants and poor air quality are more than just invisible irritants. They’re productivity-deterrents and, in some circumstances, job hazards. In this article, we’ll help you – the business owner, the facilities manager, the production lead, or the healthcare professional – tackle these challenges head-on with commercial air purifiers.
Air quality in our commercial spaces is uncharted territory for many of us. However, with respiratory implications and employee health issues becoming real concerns, it’s high time we try to understand the risks of these airborne particles and develop a clear, actionable strategy.
Better air quality might be the breath of fresh air your workplace needs. The average adult spends approximately a third of their life at work – a statistic that might be higher for many of us. Because we spend so much time there, poor air quality at work can be a real problem – leading to increased absenteeism, lower productivity, and even health-related lawsuits.
Clean air is an investment in the health of your employees. It also demonstrates how much you value them, because it shows that you put their wellbeing first.
Professional cleaning of premises is time-consuming and expensive. Our industrial air purifiers prevent dust from becoming a problem in the first place. And less cleaning equals more profit.
If machinery is regularly exposed to dust, it will probably need more frequent maintenance or even break down. Minimising the amount of dust in the air reduces downtime by up to 30 %.
Clean air plays its part through more efficient day-to-day operations and clean products, that will please your customers.
Staying competitive is difficult. Clean air, however, makes it so much easier – improving the quality of your products, enhancing your corporate image and boosting your productivity.
Industrial air purifiers help you reduce your energy and cleaning costs, plus they protect your employees. It’s easy to see why they’re an important part of many sustainability strategies.
The statistics are telling. According to research, air pollution, such as PM2.5 and smaller particles, can greatly impact cognitive function. Several studies found that cognitive performance scores were 61 % higher on average in greener working environments with improved ventilation and air quality compared to those with standard conditions.
Investing in the air quality with the use of commercial air purifiers is a tangible, bottom-line-boosting effort that smart businesses are implementing worldwide. Clearing the air in your commercial space literally and metaphorically brings a breath of fresh air to your business and work environment.
Our industrial dust extractors embody more than mere machinery; they're guardians of your workspace, devoted to extracting harmful particles and fumes with precision. They're not just collectors, they're purifiers — transforming your environment and clearing the path towards pure, productive air. With our dust extractors, breathing becomes effortless as we take care of everything, including maintenance and filter changes, to ensure utmost cleanliness of the air.
Designed to combat significant dust levels, our pocket filter works in rooms with high dust levels on its own – or can be paired with other filters for ultimate particle collection. With between four and ten pockets, they can filter both coarse and ultrafine particles, and withstand temperatures of up to 70 °C.
The Flimmer filter is an in-house innovation that stands out, thanks to its unique dust absorption capacity. Electrostatic polypropylene fibres capture fine dust at temperatures of up to 70 °C. It can be used as Flimmer-only option or as a patented combination with a bag or compact filter, which we have patented as FlimmerM®.
Available in a range of filter classes, our compact and HEPA filters catch everything from coarse particles to ultrafine particles, like the corona virus. There are also filters with activated carbon to combat unpleasant odours. Compact and HEPA filters are suitable as pre- or post-filters for temperatures of up to 70 °C.
Particles exist in the air of your workplace, created by movement, transport, and production processes. Most of these particles, including dust, smoke, fumes, and odours cause unnecessary cleaning and maintenance costs. The most toxic of these can seriously endanger the health of your employees in the long run, causing both absenteeism and a negative corporate image. Our air purifiers clean your air – meaning you don't have to worry about any of the above!
Industrial air purifiers are not replacing ventilation. Ventilation transports your used room air (CO 2) out of the building and replaces it with fresh air. Air purifiers, on the other hand, trap harmful particles that are present in both fresh and stale air. Air purifiers are particularly recommended in buildings without windows.
From logistics companies to the manufacturing industry, food production, public facilities, and many more, wherever dust and other particles are flying around in the air, that's where our products come in.
First of all, both are able to remove dust and other particles from the air. But there are some differences between professional air purifiers and an air washer. In contrast to the air purifier, which can contain many filters of different strengths, the air washer only uses water as a filter, which makes it less efficient (in terms of air purification). However, air washers also humidify your air.
Our air purifiers and filters deal with all kinds of airborne particles. These include coarse particles, fine dust, vapours, bacteria and germs. Even oil or fog particles and odours can be removed. In scientific terms, these are particles of sizes PM 10 (= 10 micrometres (µm)), PM 2.5 (= 2.5 micrometres (µm)) and PM 1 (= 1 micrometre (µm)).
Filter replacement for dirty filters depends on the dust levels in your facility. Normally, filters in an industrial environment have to be changed every 3, 6 or 9 months. In an office, every 12 months may be sufficient.
When filtering corona viruses, it’s not the air purifiers themselves that make the difference – but the filters that are installed. It’s worth noting, that filters which capture corona viruses are known as HEPA filters – preferably in the HEPA 13 and 14 classes. We use either a CleanAir or CleanAir Max with a corresponding HEPA 14 filter.
Our Product filter all microorganisms that are airborne. It doesn't matter whether they are corona viruses, bacteria or fungal spores.
Every environment is different so that's why we offer flexible installation options. For example, air purifiers can be installed on ceilings, walls, shelves or columns – and even placed on the floor.
The amount of energy Zehnder air cleaners use depends on the airflow setting, but it's about 25% of the electricity consumption of a conventional extraction system. By using our CARA app, you can save even more energy because it makes energy consumption smarter.
