In construction, tunnelling, and excavation environments, airborne hazards come in many forms — from coarse dust and respirable silica to chemical fumes and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). No single filter can tackle them all.
That’s why Control Hire’s Air Scrubbers are built with a 3-stage filtration system, engineered to remove contaminants across all particle sizes and gas phases — protecting your workers, your compliance, and your project:
Stage 1: F5 Pleated Pre-Filter — Stops Dust Early
Designed for high-dust environments, this stage captures:
- Coarse dust
- Sand/grit
- Lint and fibres
- Pollen and hair
Key Benefits:
- Extends the life of downstream HEPA and carbon filters
- Handles heavy dust loads in demolition, excavation, and manufacturing
- Removes most PM₁₀ and larger particles
Stage 2: H13 V-Bank HEPA Filter — Fine Particle Control
Removes ≥99.95% of ultrafine particles ≥0.3µm:
- Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS)
- Diesel soot and welding fumes
- Cement/fly ash
- Bacteria, viruses, and bioaerosols
Key Benefits:
- Compliance for silica dust exposure
- Captures PM₂.₅ and PM₁ for high-risk and sensitive zones
- Used in healthcare, labs, and clean industrial environments
Stage 3: Activated Carbon V-Bank Filter — Gas & Odour Removal
Targets vapours and molecular pollutants:
- VOCs (adhesives, paints, fuels)
- Ammonia, aldehydes, and mercaptans
- Exhaust gases and chemical odours
Key Benefits:
- Neutralises hazardous fumes from equipment and materials
- Improves air quality in confined and enclosed worksites
- Supports compliance with SafeWork air contaminant standards
Built for Demanding Sites
Control Hire’s filtration units are trusted in:
- Tunnel excavation and access shafts
- Demolition and asbestos remediation
- Manufacturing and processing plants
- Healthcare construction and laboratory upgrades
Why It Matters
With silica dust reforms taking effect from 1st September 2024, compliance isn’t optional — it’s law. Our 3-stage system helps you meet your duty of care under WHS regulations while protecting your people from irreversible health risks.
