Product features
Construction and performance
- Used in a wide range of air purification and vapour phase applications for general odour removal, cooking odours, exhaust fumes, ammonia and its derivatives, formaldehyde and other airborne pollutants.
- Long established bonding techniques hold the activated carbon in a rigid biscuit.
- The biscuit is encapsulated in carbon impregnated cloth, which prevents any leakage of granules or powder.
- Housed in a galvanised steel frame.
- Loose fill or bonded carbon, depending on the odours to be removed.
- Used on supply to purify incoming air, or on extract to remove toxic gases and odours from a process.
- Depths of 12mm, 20mm, 45mm, 95mm and 150mm.
- Filter class: 50% CTC.
