Itasca, IL: Fellowes®, Inc. introduces its line of air quality control systems designed to reduce the presence of airborne germs, allergens and odor in public and shared spaces, such as restrooms, cafeterias, break and waiting rooms, and other areas of a facility where occupants frequently gather.

"Occupants in a facility expect that all surfaces have been disinfected, that restroom fixtures should be touch-free, and that the water from the cooler is filtered. However, when you consider millions suffer from allergies, and 5% to 20% of the US population gets the flu every year, we believe providing purified air is the next logical step to keeping the public at ease," stated Jeff Dryfhout, Global Direct of Marketing, Air Treatment at Fellowes. "Even the cleanest facilities have areas of constant airborne contamination, such as restrooms, classrooms, general office space, basically any shared areas where airborne germs can pose the greatest risk for cross contamination," said Dryfhout.

AeraMax® PRO air quality control systems are designed specifically for installation in public and shared spaces. Systems include:

Patent-pending EnviroSmart(TM) sensor technology which constantly monitor conditions in a room and self-adjusts the unit’s performance. This helps to maximize the air purification process while reducing energy consumption, and extending the life of the filters.

Vandal-resistant housing with locking access panel and internal controls helps assure units stand up to the rigors of public spaces.

Air that passes through the system is purified in a multi-step process including:

High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter rated to capture 99.97% of airborne particulate as small as 0.3 microns, including viruses, bacteria, mold, pollen, and other allergens from the air that passes through the filter.

Activated carbon filter adsorbs odor and volatile organic compounds

Bipolar ionizer enhances the removal of larger particulate from the air

In recent computational fluid dynamic simulations demonstrate the AeraMax® PRO improves indoor air quality by diluting and removing airborne contaminants while helping to maintain a more consistent temperature distribution in the space.

Air quality control systems are designed to be wall-mounted and are available in two sizes. The AM III is designed for rooms up to 300 square feet and the AM IV for areas up to 600 square feet. Both sizes are available in multiple finishes including stainless steel, white, and graphite.
