Camfil, a global leader in air filtration solutions, used its ARBS 2024 stand to promote the vision of an oasis of clean air and natural tones.
The combination of wood and green aesthetics made this stand particularly attractive and refreshing, and closely matched Camfil’s theme for the event: “Life Cycle Cost Analysis”.
The principle is as elegant as the stand: Camfil wants to encourage people to consider the long-term cost savings of different types of air filters, taking into account factors such as labour, maintenance, disposal, initial cost and, above all, energy savings.
As Jonathan Bunge, Managing Director of Camfil Australia, said: “Our Hi-Flo bag filters are designed to handle high dust loading, meaning fewer replacements and higher efficiency. We are also promoting our energy efficient products here, including panel filters, compact filters, HEPA filters and our range of filtration solutions for molecular contamination control.”
Visitors to the three days were also interested in Camfil’s CleanSeal Extract, a HEPA terminal housing designed for hospital operating and isolation rooms, with a focus on effective contaminant removal.
Camfil’s strength in this area shows how effective the company’s technology is at purifying air across its entire product range, Bunge said. He also added that cost savings were possible.
John Mediati, Camfil NSW Sales and Product Manager, said energy efficiency is key to sustainability.
“Using filters that reduce energy consumption and provide better indoor air quality leads to a better result, because up to 70% of the total cost of ownership of a filtration system is electricity,” Mediati said. “With a lower average pressure drop, you can save a lot of money and energy.”
The Camfil team also highlighted another major economic benefit: productivity. Most people spend up to 90% of their time indoors, so improving air quality translates directly into productivity gains by reducing disease rates.
One of the interesting facts about Camfil is that the company is truly committed to walking the talk.
Globally, Camfil has appointed a Head of Aeronomy, whose role is to ensure that every office around the world provides a healthier and cleaner working environment, through air.
But it’s important to know that this effort doesn’t necessarily have to cost more. As Mediati said, air filtration is not unlike LED lights. Twenty years ago, no one knew what LED lights were, but they’re now ubiquitous due to their long-lasting and energy-efficient nature, even if they’re more expensive up front than a standard light bulb.
Most people are now opting for LED lighting. Camfil filters are like LED lighting. They are designed to use less energy and remove more particles from the air, while lasting longer and offering a higher total cost of ownership (TCO).
Investing in Camfil air filters is an investment in your employees, their quality of life and workplace efficiency.
An estimated 70% of office workers are concerned about the air quality in their workplace, a problem that the COVID-19 pandemic has only made worse. What makes Camfil different is that it gives these people peace of mind.
