INDUSTRY-LEADING PRODUCTS
VariCel® VXL
The VariCel VXL is the highest-performing and longest-lasting box filter in the HVAC filter line. This filter was developed to offer the lowest cost of ownership thanks to its unique combination of features. The V-bank design and dual-density fiberglass media provide excellent performance under difficult operating conditions.
MEGApleat® M9
The MEGApleat M9 filter is the longest-lasting and strongest pleated prefilter available. Its service life is 3 to 4 times longer than standard pleated filters. The low initial resistance and high dust-holding capacity help reduce energy use to lower operating costs.
DriPak® GX
The DriPak GX bag filter was designed to maximize filter life and reduce energy use. It uses microfine fiberglass media in a proprietary tapered-pocket design. Choose it for pre- or final filtration in central air handling systems as well as prefiltration for cleanrooms.
MEGAcel® II
The MEGAcel II mini-pleat eFRM media HEPA filter is designed to help increase cleanroom uptime and reduce risks associated with pharmaceutical manufacturing. In addition to its durability, high particulate filtration efficiency and lowest pressure drop, the MEGAcel II eFRM is the industry’s first and only eFRM media compatible with polyalphaolefin (PAO) for HVAC validation.
MEGAcel® I
The MEGAcel I eFRM is our highest performing HEPA filter. It’s designed to be an industry leader, made with AAF’s expanded FluoroResin Membrane (eFRM) media and innovative tapered aluminum separator design. These filters help optimize system efficiency and integrity while minimizing operational expenses in the most demanding applications.
AstroHood® S-III RSR
The AstroHood S-III RSR is a lightweight and low-profile ducted HEPA/ULPA filter supply module designed so filters can be replaced from the room side. Each unit provides unidirectional airflow and can be installed in multiple ceiling types.
AstroHood® S-I
The AstroHood S-I is a fully welded terminal filter supply hood for cleanrooms that offers the lowest operating cost of any of our units. Its zero-pressure boundary penetrations help reduce risk and reduce energy use.
Surelock-B
Surelock-B side-access HEPA filter housings are all-welded flanged units with hinged or removable doors for easy service. They’re suitable for installation on the downsteam side of an air-handling unit. The housings are designed to accept all gasket-seal HEPA filters with leak-tight, metal-to-metal joints.
AstroFan™ EC FFU
The AstroFan EC FFU is whisper-quiet and can be networked and controlled for increased ease and efficiency. Industry-leading low filter resistance and our rigorous in-house testing ensure system integrity and economy.
INDUSTRY-LEADING BENEFITS
Reduces pollutants that can cause contamination
Compounding pharmacies producing sterile products face contamination from several sources. AAF provides complete filtration solutions using maximum-efficiency HEPA filters to reduce particulates in the air to help protect people and products. During sterile injectable compounding, exhaust filtration is necessary for the well-being of patients and employees. AAF’s AstroSafe BG-Series BIBO Containment Units are designed to help minimize exposure to toxic materials in the air. These include AstroHood S-I terminal filter hoods, which are fully welded to avoid leaks.
Offers control over energy use and labor
The costs of clean air may be significant — but they aren’t fixed. AAF provides solutions designed to help reduce your facility’s overall cost of ownership. VariCel VXL systems use more media than standard rigid cartridge filters to extend usable life and help reduce changeouts. Choosing MEGApleat M9 instead of a standard pleated filter can extend service life 3-4 times, and more filter media can affect both resistance and airflow to help reduce energy needs.
