Bridgwater-based British manufacturer unveils efficiency-boosting new air filter

Thursday 18th May, 2023

A TOP British air filter manufacturer based in Somerset has unveiled a new cutting-edge efficiency-boosting product range designed to save businesses with air filtration systems energy and money (May 2023).

Jasun Envirocare’s new flexible, versatile Superpleat Hi-Cap Panel Filters are being made in Bridgwater and are suitable for damp, wet conditions where a regular disposable panel filter is used already.

Jason Day, LEV Division Manager at Jasun Envirocare, which has been in business for more than 50 years, explains: “Our new Superpleat Hi-Cap Panel Filters help increase efficiency, reduce energy consumption and offer greater performance levels.

“They’ve been designed by our specialist, inhouse R&D department here in Somerset where we’ve bespoke labs and we’re the only UK-based air filter manufacturer that has an ISO16890 test facility. We’re very proud of what our team of highly skilled clean air solution experts have achieved and are delighted to offer this product now to our customers.

“These new filters are extremely resilient, making them easier to transport and virtually eliminating damage when shipping them out across the UK, Europe and worldwide.

“Retailers, employers with office-based teams, those in hospitality and catering, anyone who has personnel working together inside, or welcomes customers into their building, all need air filters and filtration systems to maintain good air hygiene.

“Research has shown that poor quality air, in mechanically ventilated buildings, can negatively impact on health and wellbeing. It can potentially cause tiredness, lethargy, headaches and skin and eye irritations. This can lead to increased sick days and poor staff productivity, which is not good for employees or employers.

“Plus, firms are legally responsible for maintaining healthy, safe working environments for workers and customers.

“Our Superpleat Hi-Cap Panel Filters can help prevent all sorts of pollutants from entering a building and will deliver improved indoor air quality. They’re ideal, not just for commercial/ industrial use, but for residential settings where having clean air is a necessity too.”

The new panel filters are constructed using a thermally bonded synthetic non-woven media, which is formed into pleats to create an extended filter area for air to flow over.

The Superpleat Hi-Cap Panel Filters self-supported pleats are sealed into a robust spunbond frame using hotmelt, which ensures a 100% seal at the filter edge. In addition, a hotmelt pleat fix is placed to ensure filter stability and further add to the filter’s strength.

Jason adds: “Our new filters are safe and are Fire Rated F1 DIN53438. They’re strong and durable too. They’ve a low pressure drop, are high dust holding, moisture-proof and better for the environment. This filter is classified as suitable for Waste to Energy (WtE) and, providing it’s disposed of in this way, zero goes to landfill. Having a lower pressure drop means a reduction in energy consumption and operating costs, which is great during current rising prices and better for the planet too.

“These filters are perfect for site situations where rough handling may occur, where pleated filters are already being used and high performance is required. They can run at high airflows and are not prone to collapsing or bursting.”

As one of the UK’s largest air filter manufacturers, Jasun Envirocare provides a complete range of quality, standard and bespoke, air filters and systems, and all its products are made in Britain.

These include air purifiers, air filters, panel filters, washables, kitchen canopy grease filters, and HEPA filters.

As well as being specialists in the field of air hygiene, Jasun Envirocare is also an expert in water hygiene – providing a range of treatment solutions and services for commercial systems, and is committed to continuous environmental improvement.

Jasun Envirocare’s new Superpleat Hi-Cap Panel Filters and all its products can be purchased direct from its online one-stop-shop: www.jfilters.com. It was the first air filters company worldwide to offer its full range of products online back in 1999.

The company, whose strapline is ‘a breath of fresh air,’ employs more than 200 people at its UK operational sites in Bridgwater and Waterlooville and has factories and offices in Europe too.
