LOCOMOTIVES
CLEAN AIR TO KEEP TRANSPORTATION MOVING FORWARD
Locomotives transport goods and connect communities. They’re an engine of progress — and their engines run on clean air. So when locomotives “breathe in” dust and other particulates, the result can be costly repairs and unplanned downtime. AAF was the first to create an air filter specifically for the engine market and, for half a century, we have provided filters and filtration housings designed to help protect engines from contaminated intake air while providing support for locomotive diesel performance.

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.
BioCel® VXL
The BioCel VXL is the highest-performing HVAC MERV 16 filter for surgical and critical applications and the best choice to meet sustainability and decarbonization goals. It combines near-HEPA level filtration of fine airborne contaminants and small particles with a low total cost of ownership.
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.
AstroPure™
The AstroPure air purification system offers a portable, plug-and-play solution for improving indoor air quality in healthcare facilities, classrooms and other spaces. Its advanced interface allows control over cleanliness, noise and airflow while the EC motor helps conserve energy.
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
The AstroHood S-III is a disposable, ducted HEPA/ULPA supply terminal module with a minipleat filter pack that is individually tested for leak-free performance. The light, low-profile design is built to customer specifications for critical applications.
INDUSTRY-LEADING BENEFITS
PROTECTS EMPLOYEES AND PASSENGERS FROM HARMFUL POLLUTANTS AND AIRBORNE CONTAMINANTS
OVERCOME OVERSPRAY AND PAINT DEPOSITS
Provides optimal protection of engines against contaminants in intake air
The intake air that a locomotive engine “breathes” needs to be as clean as possible to maximize engine performance, decrease fuel consumption and protect engine components. Filter intake air properly to prevent premature engine wear and costly downtime, lowering operating costs.
Overcome the challenges of overspray and paint deposits
You can achieve the perfect paint job with the right filtration products. Our air filtration solutions for paint spray booths ensure the spray booths are clean and free from any impurities in order to provide the perfect finish to trains and railway vehicles.
