SilentCare

The SilentCare room air filter with HEPA filter function is a product manufactured in Germany – “made in Germany”. Thanks to a simple design, the device is mobile and flexible due to rollers and scores with a small footprint. The room air filter convinces with a very low energy consumption.

Many people are affected by allergies nowadays. The triger can be a biogenic, chemical and particulate pollutant.

The VDI Guideline 6022 Sheet 5 describes requirements for the testing and assessment of technical equipment provided to prevent allergenic exposure. Among other things, portable air cleaners are also dealt with.

Due to extremely good separation of the filter element, it can be assumed that almost no allergy-causing aerosols (particles) are present in the filtered air.

The filter material is a three-layer structure and consists of polyester fibres on the outside and glass fibres in the actual filter layer. There are predominantly water-repellent, so that fungi and other organisms can grow poorly or not at all on the material. The adhesive of the filter element has been approved for use with foodstuffs and can therefore be considered harmless.

Notice: The SilentCare has not been tested by an independent testing institute according to the guideline VDI 6022 part 5. The suitability of the SilentCare for the separation of allergenic aerosols was derived from existing data of other standards.
