Industrial HVAC and process equipment for food processing facilities may be similar to that in other industries, but it’s particularly critical for the air intakes of ventilation, processing and cooling systems to be free from excess airborne contaminants due to stringent standards monitored by safety compliance organizations like AIB, CDC, USDA, FDA, and FSIS.
Food Processing Air Filtration
Food Processing Air Intake Filters
Help your food processing equipment breathe easy with best-in-class air filtration. Air quality and temperature must be carefully controlled and monitored within food processing plants, to avoid airborne contaminates that can otherwise result in product spoilage, spur mold growth, and even lead to large-scale outbreaks related to illness or infection. Not only do food processing air intake filters prevent airborne contaminants from entering your equipment, but quality filters can decrease operating costs at a facility, reduce maintenance and costly line downtime. See how Permatron can solve facility management and contamination issues through the simple installation of our PreVent System air filters.
Food Processing Air Filtration Applications
You need to have uncompromising sanitation and refrigeration standards when it comes to air filtration for the food and drink industry. The best filtration, especially when used inside the facility, is made from high-quality, hygienic materials (plastics and stainless steel) that are nonporous and nonabsorbent with easy cleanability. With Permatron’s washable PreVent polypropylene prefilter screens, you can improve the efficiency of many ventilation, processing and cooling applications:
Rooftop HVAC units
Make-up air units
Fresh air louvers
Chillers
Cooling towers
Recirculating cooling fans
Exhaust vents
Cold storage units
Air compressors / process equipment
Ice machines / reach-in coolers
Prevent Food Processing Breakdowns & Maintenance!
PreVent air intake screens stop airborne contaminants before they ever get inside your food processing equipment. UV protected for outdoor or indoor environments and custom sized, PreVent fits to the intake enclosure with a variety of mount options. Cleans in minutes with a broom or shop vac, and holds up to stringent cleaning routines.
Maintenance Issues with Air Filtration for Food Processing
Airborne contaminants from ingredient processing or outdoor environmental issues can clog cooling equipment air fins and coils, as well as interior high efficiency air filters. High dirt loads reduce the lifespan of your high efficiency disposable HVAC filters, increasing your operating expenses through frequent filter changeouts or replacement. Frequent and time-consuming chemical cleaning of the equipment becomes costly as well. Depending on the location of your air intake units, this can also include the expense of a crane, a dumpster, maintenance technician labor, water access and equipment downtime.
Benefits of Permatron Food Processing Air Intake Filters
There are many food processing air filtration companies, but there’s only one Permatron. Our innovative material, design, and installation process offers a number of financial and food safety benefits:
Convenient Installation: Our unique air filter mount options include magnetic stripping or patented MagnaMount® mount clips using strong magnets for quick and secure installation. They don’t require screws or additional hardware to safely secure filters to your existing system.
Additional Filtration: A PreVent prefilter mounts outside of the air intake opening, so you can easily see dirt build-up. Because it doesn’t replace your existing high efficiency pleats or bag filters, it offers a primary layer of protection to capture larger particulates, while allowing interior air filters to capture smaller particulates.
Superior Air Filtration for Food Processing: Thanks to its electrostatic air filtration design, a Permatron air filters can be used in high-dirt-load industrial environments, indoors and outdoors.
Custom Design: Work with the Permatron team to order custom-fit filters for your air intake specifications. PreVent filters can be finished with flexible vinyl frames and grommets, rigid steel panel style frames up to 2” deep or 3-dimensional fan shrouds, vent caps, socks, and bonnets.
