The Paxton PureAir system is the first variable frequency drive (VFD) centrifugal blower to be designed specifically with clean-room applications in mind. With uniquely engineered features, the PureAir delivers clean dry air, while reducing a company’s operating costs up to five times those of traditional compressed air systems.
Why Paxton PureAir for Yo ur Clean Room?
(vs. compressed air systems)
Cleaner, Drier Air:
The Paxton PureAir is designed with an inlet (1 micron) filter and an outlet (0.3 micron) HEPA 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.
