Cartridge filters: 360° molecular filtration for cleaner air

Molecular cartridge filters are highly efficient components used in advanced air purification systems. Their cylindrical design enables highly effective filtration, with activated carbon media efficiently adsorbing toxic chemicals and corrosive gases. At the same time, they ensure optimal odour control – even in environments where air approaches the filter from various directions, thanks to their 360° filtration. Whether for supply or exhaust air applications, selecting the right molecular cartridge filters and media ensures optimal air quality and protection for sensitive areas, making them a key solution for industrial and commercial air filtration.
MANN+HUMMEL’s molecular cartridge filters and compatible filter media impress with outstanding filtration properties. Whether in stainless steel, galvanised steel or plastic – for manufacturing, airports, large-scale kitchens, or laboratories – our wide range of cartridge filters offers tailored solutions for a vast array of applications.
The key benefits of our cartridge filters at a glance:
- Highly effective protection against VOCs, toxic chemicals, corrosive gases, and unpleasant odours, thanks to specialised filter media
- Easy maintenance and rapid replacement, reducing downtime and ensuring continuous operation
- Contact times of 0.1-0.15 seconds for reliable filtration
- Superior sealing to minimise leakage, maximise filtration efficiency, and ensure utmost reliability in sensitive environments
- Extensive choice of media to meet individual requirements
