Industrial Air Cleaners
Air King's industrial air cleaners capture dust, smoke, and particulates in manufacturing environments. These self-contained units use multi-stage filtration, including micro-glass and HEPA options, to maintain workplace safety. Recirculating cleaned air reduces energy costs by preserving conditioned air within facilities.
Source Capture Units
Source capture systems target pollutants at their origin through portable units like the M-35P series. Effective for welding stations, grinding, and chemical processes, these units prevent contaminant spread. Their versatility suits various industrial applications while maintaining air quality compliance.
Mist Collection Systems
Vertical Mist Collectors (VMC series) address oil mist and chemical fumes from machining. These units install directly at equipment points, using self-contained filtration to capture harmful particles. Low maintenance design ensures continuous operation in metalworking environments.
HEPA Filtration
HEPA-equipped units remove 99.97% of 0.3-micron particles, meeting stringent cleanroom standards. Ideal for pharmaceutical and precision manufacturing, these systems ensure ultra-clean air through multi-stage micro-glass and HEPA filters in M-11HE and M-25HE models.
Odor Mitigation
Charcoal-filter units like the M-11CF series neutralize industrial odors and chemical fumes. Activated charcoal after-filters capture volatile organic compounds in environments ranging from taverns to industrial kitchens, ensuring breathable air quality without ductwork requirements.
