What Are AAF Filters?

AAF stands for American Air Filter, and since its acquisition of Flanders Corp, another company that focuses on air filtration, it is often called AAF Flanders. The company operates in 22 countries across four continents and handles warehousing and distribution.

Despite American Air Filter's international endeavors, it's based in Louisville, KY. It's considered to be one of the world's largest manufacturers of air filtration solutions. AAF manufactures commercial, industrial, and residential filters, which gives customers a wide variety of solutions such as:

Commercial Uses

For commercial applications, AAF Flanders manufactures panel and bag filters. Panel filters are large, flat filtering media commonly used in commercial HVAC systems.

They are normally constructed of fibrous materials such as fiberglass and function by capturing airborne particles as air is passed through the material. They are frequently found at the return air intake of air handling units in commercial buildings like office towers, schools, retail stores, and warehouses.

Bag filters are cylindrical or conical filtering elements commonly used for high-efficiency particulate filtration in commercial and industrial applications. Common commercial uses of bag solutions include dust collection from manufacturing processes like woodworking, food processing facilities, powder handling operations, and the final stage of filtration for HVAC systems treating large volumes of recirculated air in buildings such as hospitals, cleanrooms, and airport terminals where high indoor air quality is essential.

Industrial Uses

AAF Flanders manufactures sizable dry and wet dust collectors for several industrial purposes. Dry dust collectors work by filtering and capturing dry particulate matter out of an air stream without the introduction of liquid. The collected dust remains dry inside the collector, making dry collectors well-suited for applications where moisture could damage collected materials like pharmaceuticals or metals processing.

Common examples include a dry collection of sawdust in woodworking factories or fly ash from coal-fired power plants. Wet dust collectors utilize water or other liquid sprays to saturate dust particles as air passes through the system. The moisture causes dust to adhere to water droplets, which then fall into collection bins below.

This results in higher collection efficiency compared to dry collectors, especially for fine particles. However, wet collectors generate a liquid slurry waste that requires drainage or drying. They are often used when dust includes hazardous materials like asbestos to immobilize them. Some applications include wet scrubbers for sulfur dioxide gas removal in industrial flue gas cleaning systems.

Residential Uses

For residential applications, AAF Flanders makes pleated filters that are common in many HVAC systems. Pleated filters improve indoor air quality. Like many other pleated solutions, they remove contaminants like mold, pet dander, bacteria, smoke, and dust.

Using a pleated filter can help people who struggle with asthma and other respiratory conditions.
