The Axminster Professional AP25AFS Air Filter is a powerful air filtration system designed for workshops up to 300m³. It effectively collects airborne dust, significantly improving air quality in the workspace.

Function Description:

The AP25AFS operates by drawing in air and passing it through a two-stage filtration system. The first stage involves an electrostatic outer filter, followed by a pleated deep inner filter. This dual-filter approach ensures comprehensive removal of particulate matter from the air. The system is designed to be hung from a ceiling, allowing for optimal air circulation and performance. It features multiple speed settings and timer periods, all controllable via a remote handset, offering convenience and flexibility in operation. An optional charcoal filter can be added for enhanced removal of odours, organic fumes, and pollen. The unit also incorporates an 'Active Flow Sensor' which detects when the filters become blocked, alerting the user through an audible alarm and flashing lights on the control panel.
