Pre-Filter/Primary Air Filter
Pre-filters, as implied by their name, are tasked with removing particulates from the air before they reach the HEPA or ULPA filters. Typically, these filters target larger particles. Utilizing pre-filters proves advantageous in prolonging the lifespan of HEPA filters, and reducing their workload.
By incorporating pre-filters into your filtration system, you can effectively decrease the strain on HEPA filters. It’s advisable to replace these pre-filters approximately six times a year or every other month, depending on usage. This regular maintenance routine ensures the seamless operation of your filtration system and prevents excessive contamination from affecting components beyond the pre-filters within the cleanroom system.
