filtration

All of Bofa Extraction Systems incorporate a progressive series of filters designed specifically to maximise life for both particulate and gas capture.

     

PRE-FILTER
The pre filter is designed solely to protect the life of the micro filter. For the majority of units, Bofa use a pleated synthetic media with a separation of typically 95% of particulate down to 0.8 microns. In cases where larger amounts of sub micron particulate are generated, a higher efficiency filter can be fitted or stand alone Bag filter can be installed to give greater life to the pre filter and ensure adequate protection to the main filter.

PRE-FILTER

MICRO FILTER
Bofa Micro Filters incorporate a series of bonded webbing between the pleats. This feature not only ensures even spacing between each pleat, but also alleviates the possibility of airflow vibration or collapse through pressure build up during gradual filter saturation. Each Micro filter is designed to withstand up to 6 times the maximum operating pressure for its designated unit, with filter efficiency of 99.997% down to 0.3 microns and 95% as small as 0.1 microns.

 

AIR FILTERS
Bactiguard air filters, used in various grades of pre and micro media's have been proven in independent testing to eradicate a wide range of micro-organisms.

Bactigaurd

A list of the micro-organisms used in testing can be supplied on request. Most common types of bacteria referred to are MRSA, Salmonella and E.coli. On fungi, the most common referred to is aspergillus.

GAS FILTER
The standard gas filter is made up of a 50/50 mix of Activated Aluminium Potassium Permanganate and Activated Carbon. The media neutralises a broad base of chemical and VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) pollutants. A comprehensive range of specialised filters together with electronic gas sensing is available for more demanding or diverse applications.

See Unit Options page for more details.
All filters are produced in accordance with ISO9002 with micron filtration complying with BS3928. A certificate of conformity for each filter is available upon request.

PUMP TECHNOLOGY
The pump is the heart of the unit and as such, any compromise on quality will have an adverse effect on performance and long term reliability. Bofa use only the highest quality pumps and motors in all their units. All pumps are individually matched to the motors and dynamically balanced accordingly. Each assembly is produced in accordance with ISO 9002 and CE marked.
