Activated Carbon Air Filters

Air Filters Inc.™ carries an extensive line of carbon air filters and impregnated carbon products.

Air Filters Inc.’s SureSorb: Activated Carbon Panel Filters are available in flocked honeycomb carbon or bonded carbon in either a die-cut, plastic (box or header), or metal frame. The SureSorb: Activated Carbon Panel filters is an ideal solution when upgrading systems to include a carbon stage of filtration and is often used as a pre-filter in commercial and industrial high-efficiency systems.

Carbon has many benefits, one is its ability to remove odors. Bulk carbon is always the best for removing VOCs from a manufacturing process or PetroChem application.

Standard carbon or impregnated carbon, potassium, or a blend can be added to any filter for specific applications.

Activated Carbon Filter Types:

Pleated Activated Carbon Filters

Pleated activated carbon filters are filters that use a granular activated carbon media that is bonded to either a MERV 6, 8, 11, or 13 rated synthetic media. The synthetic media is the same media that is used in standard pleated filters but with a carbon upgrade. The combination of the activated carbon and high efficiency synthetic media makes for a filter that effectively traps odors and smoke as well as airborne contaminants like dust, pollen, pet dander, and more. Activated pleated filters are great for environments where you need to trap pesky odors or smoke but also want to ensure you’re filtering common airborne pollutants too.

Bonded Carbon Panels and V-Cell Filters

Bonded carbon filters are available in a panel or v-cell style and are typically used in commercial and industrial applications. Bonded carbon panels and v-cells use a high-quality virgin coconut shell carbon that effectively removes and traps volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odors. The bonded carbon used in Air Filters Inc.’s panel and v-cell filters is virgin coconut shell carbon with a minimum 60 carbon tetrachloride activity (CTC) (ASTM D-3467). Which is the measurement of the activated carbon’s pore volume and is primarily used as a quality assurance test for activated carbon.

Flocked Honeycomb Carbon Panels and V-Cell Filters

Honeycomb carbon filters are available in a panel or v-cell style and are typically used in commercial and industrial applications. Honeycomb carbon panels and v-cells use honeycomb shaped kraft board that is flocked with activated carbon, effectively trapping, and controlling odors and harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The flocked activated carbon is virgin carbon that is impregnate with potassium hydroxide (KOH). The unique honeycomb shape allows for a low pressure drop.

Carbon Refillable Trays

Carbon refillable trays are manufactured using a galvanized, stainless steel, or painted steel frame with perforated face guards. Carbon refillable trays are ideal for commercial or industrial applications where removing odors, gases, and VOCs is required. Standard carbon, impregnated carbon, potassium, or a blend can be added to any refillable tray to suite your needs.
