The Paxton PureAir is the latest revolution in ultra clean drying systems designed to deliver cleaner, drier air specifically for clean-room environments. The PureAir is oil-free and has no belts, tensioning devices or moving parts, ensuring minimal maintenance requirements. The lack of moving parts also helps maintain higher air qualities, which is a key requirement in clean-room applications. An inlet (1 micron) filter and an outlet (0.3 micron) HEPA filter have been incorporated primarily for ultra clean-room environments. The small size and compact nature of the PureAir requires limited floor space which is critical in clean-room environments.

In most cases, customers replacing their compressors can expect a 100% ROI within one year of using their PureAir system. The 80% reduction in energy consumption usage keeps operating costs five times lower than those of most traditional compressed air units. In effect, Paxton has developed a much cleaner, greener and highly efficient air management system.

WHY PAXTON PUREAIR FOR YOUR CLEAN ROOM?

(vs. compressed air systems)

Cleaner, Drier Air:
The Paxton PureAir is designed with an inlet (1 micron) and an outlet HEPA (0.3 micron) filter that produce air that is 99.97% pure, an ideal quality standard for most sterile environments.

Lower Operating Costs:
The 20 hp motor in the PureAir blower has much lower energy requirements than most traditional 60-100 hp compressors, resulting in five times lower operating costs.

Smaller Footprint:
The low energy footprint of the Paxton PureAir coupled with its compact design makes it the preferred choice for most clean-room applications.

Less Maintenance:
The oil-free direct drive technology eliminates belts, tensioning devices and complex pulley configurations, effectively lowering maintenance and repair costs.

Quick Return on Investment:
The Paxton PureAir reduces operating costs up to five times those of compressed air systems, resulting in a return on investment in less than one year.

No Costly Line Cleaning:
The PureAir system requires no costly cleaning of compressed air lines which can periodically become lined with oil, dust and other contaminants.

Lower Noise Levels:
The Paxton PureAir is housed within a high-density polypropylene blower enclosure that is designed with unique noise-abating features, making it ideal for most sterile environments.

COMPETITIVE COMPARISON

Feature Paxton PureAir Compressed Air System
Energy Usage Consumes a fraction of the energy of traditional compressors Compressors tend to be the highest energy consumption systems in a manufacturing environment
Filtration Inlet box filter (1 micron) and outlet HEPA filter (0.3 micron) keep air quality very high Air filtration (0.5 micron) is at the source and it is imperative to ensure that air transport lines are kept very clean
Air Quality

Air is processed within the clean-room environment, eliminating the introduction of outside air which reduces contamination

 Air is transported from a remote location within the facility which can introduce unwanted debris into the transportation lines, resulting in the need for increased
filtration of the air
Maintenance The direct drive motor reduces maintenance issues while the custom-engineered features increase reliability and reduce downtime Compressed air systems are not typically engineered for drying applications but are adapted for those services by adding a complex system of regulators and valves. These components are often very inefficient and require frequent maintenance, resulting in equipment downtime
Drive System VFD enables precise control of airflow settings based on requirements Air flow control is controlled with valves at point of use
Engineering Backing The PureAir is backed by over 50 years of engineering expertise in air management, and a tailored solution can be engineered to suit the specific needs of the client’s application The compressor cannot be customized based on requirements
Clean-room Application Can be used in Class 10000 clean rooms Can be used in Class 10000 clean roo
