THE MAGIC IS IN THE MEDIA

Camfil's Megalam EnerGuard utilizes the best features of all HEPA media types. EnerGuard incorporates the long-life properties of glass fiber with the low energy consumption of membrane media to ensure optimal performance.

UNIQUE FILTER MEDIA DEVELOPED AFTER YEARS OF CONTINUOUS RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Camfil’s EnerGuard media is resistant to damage during handling and operation while still providing the efficiencies required to maintain ISO cleanroom class levels.

FITS ALL EXISTING CONFIGURATIONS

Immediately substitutable into existing filter configurations, requiring no changes of other filter components or materials, installation or testing and validation processes, or HVAC and filter equipment.

What Makes EnerGuard the Only Choice ...

Robust construction

Filter failure rate at installation close to 0%. The robust nature of the filter significantly reduces the chances of product failure and expensive cleanroom downtime. Filters safeguarded from damage during transportation, installation, handling, and filter service translate to cleanroom operating profits.

Long Service Life

Service life is consistent with glass fiber filters 2-3X the life of ePTFE when periodically aerosol challenged. Depth-loading media increases the effective area of particle capture to maintain consistent low pressure drop and increases the period between filter replacements.

Energy Cost Savings

Savings of 30 to 50% vs. traditional glass media filters. Camfil’s new EnerGuard filter is specifically designed and tested to ensure the lowest possible energy consumption.

Process Safety

Certified for life sciences use. When you see the ProSafe symbol you can be sure the filter materials, assembly, and testing meet life sciences requirements for safety, trace-ability, and control. See page 7 for more information about ProSafe.

Efficiencies and offerings

Complete range of efficiencies to suit all current operations Available in H13, H14, and U15 efficiencies. Offered in standard and customized pack depths.

Development

Camfil invests heavily in research and development. With numerous labs and testing capabilities around the world, Camfil is able to analyze performance requirements and use the information to develop the best filtration system for your needs.

ENERGUARD ROBUSTNESS

ENERGUARD DURABILITY, HANDLING FORGIVENESS FOR MORE OPERATION EFFICIENCY

Protect your process, product, profits and people from inadvertent filter damage. Megalam EnerGuard filters offer outstanding robustness to reduce the risk of airborne particulate leakage from tears, punctures and rips in the filter media which is common from mishandling during installation and validation.

Typically 3% to 20% of glass fiber media filters are replaced at installation due to inappropriate handling. Megalam EnerGuard will not only eliminate the expense of replacement filters and reduce the need for spares, but most importantly will reduce cleanroom downtime while waiting for re-installation and re-validation.

MEGALAM ENERGUARD VERSUS ALTERNATIVES

THE HOLISTIC TCO APPROACH

When talking about the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of a filter it's our view that you should not only look at the filter and
replacement cost but also the energy cost as well as the related labor and disposal costs. The Megalam EnerGuard
offers the lowest TCO of any HEPA panel filter on the market.

TCO SAVINGS UP TO 40%

TCO refers to the Total Cost of Ownership associated with your filter during a set lifetime. Not only does TCO account for your filter cost, but in addition, it incorporates filter replacement costs, energy costs, labor costs and disposal costs. The Megalam EnerGuard can achieve 30% savings against glass fiber and 40% against membrane media.

PROSAFE MEANS PROCESS SAFETY — YOUR PROCESS

The life sciences industry faces tough demands in achieving clean air. Be careful choosing an air filter. The filter must protect your products from particulate contamination, and must prevent undesirable materials from entering into your process.

When you see the ProSafe symbol, you know the filter has been made with qualified materials that offer the maximum process safety. There is full material and process traceability and control.

Designed for process safety.
Every filter is scanned and leak tested at the factory.
Thorough qualification and testing of all raw materials.
ISO 846 approved (for microbial inertness).
VDI6022 approved for moisture and corrosion resistance in hygienic HVAC applications.
Chemical inertness to all common cleaning agents.
Formaldehyde, phthalate, and bisphenol A (BPA)-free materials.

Megalam EnerGuard Development

GLOBAL R&D NETWORK

Innovation is something we strive towards every day.
Our six R&D centers around the world allow us to work
around the clock on developing the latest filtration
technology. The development of the Megalam EnerGuard
utilized the R&D capabilities Camfil has to offer around
the world, to bring our customers the latest innovation in
HEPA filtration.

HEPA FILTER LIFETIME TEST GRID

Camfil has created a new HEPA filter lifetime test grid, to assist the Megalam EnerGuard development effort and provide the most scientifically-advanced HEPA filter analysis in the world. Camfil can control the airflow, particulate contamination concentration, temperature, humidity, scan test and filter challenge simulations, as well as most other variables affecting a filter’s service life.

Testing Acquisitions and Upgrades

For decades, Camfil’s market position has been that of leadership through science and application analysis. In addition to the Grid, see above, Camfil has augmented its technical leadership with recent acquisitions and upgrades.
