Nanofiber Filters: Revolutionizing Dust Collection Efficiency

An electrospun nanofiber network resembles the extracellular matrix or ECM, and this resemblance is a major advantage of electrospinning because it opens up the possibility of mimicking the ECM in fiber diameters, high porosity, and mechanical properties.

After the initial discovery of electrospun nanofibers, there were many scientists and academics who saw the potential of future applications and now there are many different techniques used to create nanofibers including chemical and mechanical.

Electrospun nanofibers are highly effective in removing sub-micron contaminants and VOCs and have been proven to achieve faster adsorption and desorption when compared to standard activated carbon.

Our nanofiber filters are rated MERV 15 — MERV 13-16 filters are generally used in environments that require surgical-grade clean air such as hospitals, labs, and other clean air environments.

Electrospun nanofibers are highly effective in removing sub-micron contaminants and VOCs and have been proven to achieve faster adsorption and desorption when compared to standard activated carbon because they feature a large surface area and nanopore size.

Our nanofiber filters are rated MERV 15 — MERV 13-16 filters are generally used in environments that require surgical-grade clean air such as hospitals, labs, and other clean air environments.

Filter performance is graded by its resistance, airflow rate, particulate count, efficiency, and more. The more efficient a filter is, the higher the MERV rating will be. However, a dust collector filter may have a high MERV rating and not be suitable for your application.

Why Are Nanofiber Filters Better?

Because of their nano-sized pores, nanofiber filters have excellent surface loading capabilities and trap particulate before it embeds deep into the media. When dust is collected, it accumulates on the surface of nanofiber filters instead of within the media, reducing depth loading and requiring fewer pulses to be cleaned. Reduced depth loading and fewer cleaning pulses mean lower energy demands and compressed air consumption.

Due to their high efficiency, nanofiber filters last longer than typical filters which results in fewer filter changes, reduced operational downtime, and overall maintenance and cost savings.

Nanofiber Technology allows for the filter to surface load resulting in lower pressure drop, less pulse cleaning cycles, and longer filter life.
