Used by more than 20,000,000 civilians nationwide, shooting ranges provide a safe venue for recreational target practice, while also serving as training centers for law enforcement and military personnel. At the same time, these important facilities present unique air filtration challenges that demand the industry's most reliable products.
Shooting range operations generate airborne dirt and lead particles as guns are fired. The lead particulates in the air can be dangerous to the patrons of the ranges and need to be properly captured and removed. Air Filters Incorporated manufactures a complete line of high efficiency filters for the multi-stage filtration required to scrub the air within the firing range. Many of our filters can be used as a pre-filter, secondary or final filters. Air Filters Incorporated also provides gun ranges with a full line of air filtration systems and filter housings that meet the unique requirements of the industry.

Firing range air filtration presents two key challenges, centering on the protection of both people and equipment. In addition to removing hazardous contaminants generated by firearm discharge, air filtration systems must filter make-up air to protect HVAC equipment from outside contaminants.
In accordance with the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 52.2, make-up air should be filtered with a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) 14 filter. These should also be sized to provide optimal efficiency, with adequate sealing mechanisms compatible with the individual HVAC system.
Re-circulated or exhaust air must be filtered at the point of removal, using a minimum 99.97% High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter, per the Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology (IEST) recommended particle for HEPA/ULPA filters (IEST RP-CC001). To provide an extended life cycle of the HEPA filters, it's also recommended that HEPA filters be pre-filtered with a minimum of MERV 14 filters. Likewise, all filter sections should have pressure-measuring devices for filter maintenance.
