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
MANN+HUMMEL molecular cartridge filters for cleaner environments

| Acid | Higher capacity for acidic gases (HF, HCl, HBr, HNO₃, H₂SO₄, HCN, etc.), SO₂, NO₂, H₂S, fragrances, kitchen fumes, laboratory vapours, VOCs, solvents | Industrial and chemical environments, e.g. paper industry, wastewater treatment, refineries, metal production, clean rooms, F&B, swimming pools |
| Alkali | Ammonia, TMA, other amines | Wastewater treatment, metal production, F&B |
| Carboxy blend | VOCs, solvents, formaldehyde, acids (HF, HCl, HBr, HNO₃, H₂SO₄, HCN, etc.), SO₂, NO₂, H₂S, Cl₂, O₃, fragrances, kitchen fumes, laboratory vapours, building recirculation | Industrial and chemical environments, F&B, large kitchens |
| Oxy | Acidic gases, medium-concentration H₂S, formaldehyde, NOx, SO₂, alcohols, ketones, mercaptans, other sulphur compounds | Industrial and chemical environments, e.g. paper industry, refineries, clean rooms |
| Sulf Chlorine | H₂S, acidic gases (HF, HCl, HBr, HNO₃, H₂SO₄, HCN, etc.), chlorine, NO₂ | Swimming pools |
| Radio | Acidic gases (H₂S, SO₂), biogases, radioactive gases, methyl iodide | Radioactive environments, e.g. hospitals |
Our cartridges and filter media are designed to future-proof new systems at initial installation or to integrate seamlessly into existing filter configurations for highly effective upgrades. This enables us to offer powerful, precisely fitting filtration solutions for today and tomorrow.
