Permatron’s unique filter construction set them apart from look alike competitors. Manufactured the same way since being introducted in 1957, many of Permatron’s filters feature an exclusive Accumulator Chamber® design.   Engineered  with a three stage filtration process,  the air filter maintains a high dirt holding capacity without face loading or restricting air flow requirements.  Multiple filtration panels are encased within an outer steel frame building a multi-stage filter bank.  The first panel acts as a prefilter.  When particulates build-up on the prefilter, air flow causes them to break off and be swept into the Accumulator Chamber®, where turbulence and electrostatic forces cause agglomeration into even larger particulates.  These particulates are too large to pass through the second panel.  The afterfilter attracts and holds the smaller particulates than may have escaped the prefilter, or did not respond to an electrostatic charge.  The filter design is easy to clean thoroughly, and usually outlasts the system that it’s been installed in. 

        Permatron filters are specified for many unique applications requiring technical design expertise, innovative long term solutions, competitive cost requirements and timely delivery worldwide.  Plans for Midway  Airport’s Pedway (people mover) contained  windows with louvers at the top and bottom for natural ventilation.  Within the “Windy City”, these louvers take a beating from extreme weather conditions.   Permatron filters were installed to eliminate the infiltration of rain, snow and other elements, because they would not disintegrate over time.  The Chicago Transit Authority ran into a similar problem with the pocket doors on their L cars.  Extreme weather conditions or heavy particulate accumulation  takes a toll on the working efficiency of any type of equipment.  Whether filtering the air in a hotel room’s PTAC unit, protecting air intake systems at the top of the Sears Tower, relieving allergy irritants within a homeowner’s HVAC unit,  or protecting sensitive telecommunication equipment in remote locations, Permatron has come up with a solution.

         Permatron’s latest innovative product offerings include Equipment Protection filters. Well-maintained equipment costs less to operate, ensures optimal life expectancy and energy efficiencies.  For OEM’s, ensuring that their equipment delivers consistent high-level performance without increased amp draw and heat build-ups  alleviates the need for unnecessary service calls and warranty claims.  For example, the addition of an electrostatic prefilter and afterfilter upgrade kit (replacing metal mesh) for electronic air cleaners can result in a 43% increase in an EAC unit’s working efficiency,  reduced maintenance requirements and high voltage arcing,  removal of ozone, odors and ash brush-off,  as well as many other benefits.   A proactive approach to commercial equipment maintenance should include a permanent/washable Equipment Protection Screen developed by Permatron, and affixed by a unique, patent pending magnetic or hook/loop attachment.   

        From the simple to the complex, prototype to high volume production, we maintain a tradition of quality, performance, and on-time delivery.  Expertise in filtration, assisting in product design, and manufacture of product to precise specifications are what keep long-term customers coming back with new applications.  See case histories at www.permatron.com.
