The new FläktGroup air cleaner

FläktGroup, Europe's market leader in indoor climate solutions is proud to present its new mobile air purifier "AP BIO" with a unique and revolutionary AirFendTM-filter technology (certified to EN 14476) that stops and eliminates airborne bacteria and viruses, especially Sars-CoV-2 but also virus families such as H1N1 (Influenza A), Rhinovirus, Coronavirus (SARS), Norovirus up to 99.99985%. 

This innovative and easy-to-use mobile air purifier was tested in a French hospital on a patient with Sars-CoV-2 in an intensive care unit. The test results showed that this air purifier not only reduces but also eliminates the number of dangerous bacteria and viruses and consequently protects the staff in charge of caring for the patient. 

For the protection of all 

"In these particular times of pandemic, when social distance is the rule, people often sit together in common areas such as hospitals, dental offices, offices or schools, where indoor air is shared by different attendees. Proper ventilation is necessary to dilute and refresh indoor air, but "cleaning the air" and making it free of pathogens is the best way today to reduce the risk of airborne transmission of viruses and bacteria in almost all closed environments. 

Does an air purifier protect against bacteria and dangerous viruses ? If the air purifier is equipped with a HEPA filter class H14 then the answer is yes, because the particles of the Sars-CoV-2 virus average 0.125 microns in size and absolute filters of the HEPA H14 type can filter out these particles up to 99.95%. But this filter does not eliminate dangerous viruses and bacteria, allowing them to still spread in the room. This is precisely what the new AP BIO air purifier with its unique new two-stage AirFendTM filter technology, certified according to EN 14476, is capable of. This purifies the air to 99.99985% and decontaminated in an environmentally friendly, safe and energy-saving manner. 

on the market, the "AP BIO" uses the new and unique filter technology AirFendTM, composed of a natural mixture of 100% plant elements activated by an electro-biological process that is completely safe for humans. Its efficiency to kill viruses has been tested according to standard EN 14476 applicable to chemical antiseptics and disinfectants - Quantitative suspension test for the determination of virucidal activity of instruments used in medicine. 

Thanks to this filter technology, the "AP BIO" air purifier does not need any other conventional sterilization methods (pasteurization, washing, brushing, polluting chemicals, acetic acid, soda, hydrogen peroxide, chlorine dioxide, aldehydes, ozone, UV etc.) that are potentially dangerous to humans. 

Each unit is equipped with two filter stages: an ePM1 50% (F7) filter and an absolute filter HEPA H14, impregnated with AirFendTM technology. This filter traps airborne bacteria and viruses and removes them up to 99.99985% from indoor air such as Sars-CoV-2, as well as families of viruses such as H1N1 (Influenza A), Rhinovirus, Coronavirus (SARS) and Norovirus. 

Unique construction of this unit with an airflow that ensures protection in complete safety 

The air supply to the AP BIO air purifier is located at the top and side, at the same height as people standing next to a bed or sitting or lying on a bed, allowing hazardous particles to be captured by the air purifier as close to the source as possible and the purified air to be safely dispersed through the floor. 

Most air purifiers on the market use an opposite airflow direction, which can lead to a further spread of viruses in the room. This is also what makes the AP BIO so special. 

Safe use of filters 

Capturing harmful bacteria and viruses with an H14 HEPA absolute filter is necessary and this technology is used by many manufacturers. Thanks to the unique filter technology AirFendTM which is EN 14476 certified, bacteria and viruses are captured and completely eliminated. 

This guarantees a filter change without any risk for maintenance personnel. Unlike air purifiers without decontamination technology, the AP BIO eliminates any risk of spreading dangerous particles trapped in the filter.
