Introducing “Nidor” – The Domestic Odour Adsorber

January 15th, 2012

Introducing the new convenient odour controller that can be used wherever it is needed, from shoes to car boots it

Domestic Odour Adsorber for bins, shoes, and Laundry Baskets

Domestic Odour Adsorber for bins, shoes, and Laundry Baskets

will absorb even the worst odours. Simply hang, drop, squeeze or stuff the bag wherever you wish to absorb unwanted odours.

Bad smells come from a wide range of sources and can be incredibly annoying for the sufferer. If that is you then The Nidor Odour Absorber could be just what is needed! The pouch is filled with Activated Carbon. During the treatment process charcoal is activated by oxidising gases, creating millions of tiny holes on the face of and inside the charcoal. These holes act like a sponge to passing molecules trapping unwanted smells. The huge surface area of the carbon means that one gram has a surface area of around 500m 2 and makes Nidor: The Odour Absorber incredibly efficient at removing bad smells quickly.

Nidor is small and can be put wherever you need it. Whether that is stuffed in a pair of shoes, placed in bins or hung in cars. It can also be dropped in cupboards, cabinets and drawers and left for long periods of time to prevent stored items from smelling.

Nidor is available to buy online from Airclean Ltd in both single and double packs.

Airclean Support Buttercups Goat Sanctuary into 2012

January 4th, 2012

Buttercups Goat Sanctuary

Airclean are Supporting Buttercups Goat Sanctuary in 2012

Airclean are pleased to announce that in November 2011 we became a corporate sponsor of Buttercups Sanctuary for Goats, no kidding!! We spent time with many of the goats at the sanctuary who have suffered cruelty and neglect in the past, telling them what exactly we do. This was at first harder than we had anticipated and the founder, Robert Hitch had to explain to the goats that they couldn’t just butt in.

The goats at Buttercups have a great life, living in a safe and secure environment in which they get plenty of fresh air. Gnomeo and Bernard were particularly impressed with how our range of filters could clean the air that is so vital to both human and goat. Thinking back to a time where he was not so fortunate, Wilfred concurred that Airclean’s odour neutralising systems were particularly impressive and explained a few situations where he thought it may have come in handy for him.

Obviously goats love nothing more than a huge green field to spend the day chewing the cud. Being intelligent animals we weren’t surprised when we found out that they knew all about the problems with global warming. They were very impressed to hear the steps Airclean is taking to ensure that we move forward with the development of products that consider the environment. As well as this we recycle materials and take steps to reduce our energy output during the manufacturing process.

On a serious note, we would like to thank Buttercups for this brilliant opportunity. We always look to help local organisations and feel that in Buttercups we have found a very worthwhile cause. We hope to continue our friendship long into the future.

January 3rd, 2012

Delivery ServiceWe are pleased to announce that after a test period with selected customers, we have now enlisted a new courier in addition to our existing large freight courier.  We chose a handful of our customers to trial the new service, and are now confident to roll out the service to all of our customers from January 2012.

One of they key services that they provide is online tracking of your parcel so that you know exactly where your order is. As well as this, you will receive daily emails updating you on your parcel’ status and will be informed of an hour long time frame that your parcel will be delivered within.

When should i change my air filter?

September 6th, 2011

Struggling to decide when to change your air filters?  Struggle no more with an Airclean Inclined Manometer.  This simple device can be mounted to duct work or an air handling unit across a filter section, and will give a read out showing the pressure differential across the air filter.

Inclined Manometer

An Inclined Manometer can be used to determine when an air filter should be changed.

Throughout the life of any particulate air filter (eg. panel, bag, HEPA)  its resistance to airflow will increase and this can be visually seen on an inclined manometer.  This resistance is commonly used to show the life of an air filter and determine when it should be replaced for new.  Recommended discard resistances are shown on all Airclean Data Sheets and Operation and Maintenance Instructions, which can be found in our catalogue or on our website.

By ensuring filters are changed regularly and in line with our guideline discard pressures, an efficient system with regards to both filtration and energy can be achieved.

For more information on when you should change your filters, or how to measure the resistance of an air filter when it is in service, contact the Airclean Technical Sales Team.

High Performance Panel Filters

April 5th, 2011
High Performance Pleated Panel Filters

High Performance Pleated Panel Filters - F6, F7, F8 to EN779

High performance air filters are rated to achieve efficiencies F6, F7, F8 and F9 to EN779, and are used to give medium to high air quality suitable for use in applications such as supply air to offices, hospitals and swimming pools. 

High Efficiency filters are typically offered in the form of Multi Pocket Bag Filters, Rigid Bag Filters and High Performance Rigid Pleats.  These filters are always offered as the primary solution to achieve high quality air, as they have a high filter media surface area offering a long filter life and the ability to handle large air capacities. 

On occasion we find our contractors and system designers demand a high efficiency filter that does not take up the space (depth) that a bag filter or rigid pleat filter will take up in an air movement system.  To meet this demand Airclean offer High Performance Pleated Panel Filters in grades F6, F7 and F8 to EN779.  

Airclean High Performance Pleated Panel Filters are available in 98mm, and 47mm thicknesses allowing high efficiency filtration to be achieved in spaces which do not allow for bag filters.  The high efficiency panel filters are of standard cardboard or metal frame construction identical to the typical lower grade G4 panel air filters and can be identified by their coloured pleats pale green (F6 to EN779), pink (F7 to EN779), and yellow (F8 to EN779).

The life span of a high performance pleated panel filter in most situations will be less than that of a Multi Pocket Bag Filter or Rigid Pleat as it has a lower dust holding capacity.  This does not make it a very energy efficient filter, and can result in high replacement costs, but when space is a premium this filter is available as a suitable solution.

For more information of your high efficiency filtration options please contact our technical sales team on 01622 83277, or e mail at sales@airclean.co.uk

Panel Air Filters – How do you like yours?

February 27th, 2011

Since Airclean began manufacturing our cardboard framed panel filters they have been constructed using Cap Scrap Facias.  Cap Scrap is a waste product from the manufacture of crown cap bottle tops, and has been used by the air filter industry for many years.

Cap Scrap Facias for Panel Filters

Cap Scrap - The waste material from crown cap manufacture

Cap Scrap waste material makes a practical facia for pleated and glass panel filters.  With closely nested punched holes, capscrap facias have a large open face for maximum airflow at minimum resistance, whilst the remaining material provides a rigid structure that retains its strength under extreme conditions such as high moisture and high air flow velocities.

In addition to CapscrapAirclean offer cardboard lattice facia option, which isthe more common construction in the air filter industry.  Airclean’s cardboard facias are manufactured from recycled cardboard, and utilise a diamond cut out design to offer the maximum open face whilst maintaining rigidity for the air filter.  This style of construction makes for a fully incinerable panel air filter to meet the requirements of some industries.

Cardboard Lattice Facias

Cardboard Lattice Facias - 100% Recycled

Both construction options are available in standard and non standard panel filter sizes, for pleated, glass and synthetic options.  On request you can have your air filter made exactly as you want utilising the best materials to suit your application. 

To discuss which option suits your application best, or to learn more about the benefits of each style contact our technical team.
