Vacuums receive allergy award
October 1st 2011 The Nilfisk Group has been
awarded the ECARF seal of
quality for allergy prevention.
The Extreme and Power ranges
are fitted with class 13 and 14
HEPA filters (high efficiency
particulate air filter). European
filter classes range from 1 to 17,
the rating equating to the degree
of filter efficiency when used
within an appliance.
Certified HEPA vacuums
eliminate allergy causing
pollutants such as dust mite
eggs, pollen, bacteria, smoke and
fine dust particles.
Bacteria coming into the HEPA
filter will dry out and die as there
is nothing within the filter to
facilitate growth.
Vacuum design is also critical
for correct HEPA filtration
performance.The unit must be of
HEPA tight construction meaning
that the filter is positioned after
the motor to ensure that the
exhaust fan is releasing clean air.
The HEPA filter component also
needs to be completely sealed so
that contaminant air cannot be
released into the environment. More articles from Nilfisk -Advance Ltd: |
