HEPA filters have been around for a long time and they are used in a wide variety of applications including hospital surgery suites, commercial air filtration applications, cars, homes and in AI chip manufacturing. These filters are unique, in that they are made from special fibrous paper and extremely good at removing particles in the air is sizes down to .01 microns with efficiencies approaching 99.99999%. 

There are various grades of HEPA filters. The standard HEPA filters are effective down to 0.3 microns at 99.99% and are capable of removing all bacteria and some larger viruses. There are ULPA HEPA filters ( Ultra Low Particulate Air ) and SULPA  HEPA filters( Super Ultra Low Particulate Air ). These HEPA filters are normally used in Clean Rooms where the elimination of 99.99995% of all particles .01 microns and larger are required. To give you an idea of how small this is, your hair is about 100 microns in diameter. Also, you can only see down to about 20 microns with the naked eye. So .01 microns is very small. 

Over the past 30 years, HEPA filters have been incorporated into many air filtration devices and systems. Pure Air Systems, Inc. developed a fan powered, HEPA based air filtration system in 1985 that used the standard HEPA as its base filter. The company has seven different systems with air flows in the range of 50 CFM to 2,000 CFM. These are all metal housings using programmable variable speed motors that can compensate for the increase of static pressure across the HEPA filter and automatically maintain the required air flow for the applications. These are also capable of being operated by an app on your cell phone.

It’s time to stop over thinking how AI can affect your business world and actually begin to understand its’ uses and how it can give you the advantages to grow your market and modify your product line to keep pace with the rest of the world. If you think the world is moving too fast you are wrong. You are about to be overwhelmed with a new Process Interruption that will affect everything you do.

The incorporation of AI and AGI along with autonomous robots, cars, trucks and are changing the way companies plan their new product lines and look at incorporation of these technologies to minimize labor costs ( and labor ) and expand their operations globally. Unlike new products like computers, iPhones, and the internet, you will not have 3 years to adapt to the new technology. This is a NOW technology. Your competition is already using it and aligning themselves with companies and products that will enable them to be in the fore front of their industries. 

Pure Air Systems, a manufacturer of high end, commercial grade HEPA and Carbon based air filtration systems, has been in business since 1985. This Forty year old company has been modifying their systems over the past few years and incorporating more AI technology to enhance both their equipment design and remote operations controls. They are now one of only three companies in the world that still make this type of equipment and they are constantly trying to stay in the fore front of new technology.

Over the past 15 years, the construction methods for building homes have created an indoor environment that can create health issues for the homeowners. 50 years ago most homes were built with little understanding of how their construction techniques were making the homes a breading ground for bacteria and viruses to grow. The homes were fairly air tight and the HVAC systems, in many cases, created stagnant air flow throughout the home. This meant that the air in the homes was constantly being recirculated with little or no fresh air being introduced into the living space. The filters used in the HVAC units and return air grills were ( and still are ) general duty air filters designed primarily to remove large particles and minimize the static pressure resistance through the HVAC ducting systems.

Today’s new homes are required to have positive pressure in the living space whenever the HVAC systems are on. This means, that when you open the door or window ( when HVAC is working ) the air should push out or flow out of the house. This means there is little to no fresh air being introduced into the home. Couple this with the fact that much of furnishings in our homes are now made overseas and there are some materials used in the fabrication of the tables, sofa’s, beds and bedding, etc. that can off-gas into the living space for a long time. These chemicals, along with airborne particulate from the use of these items, can create a very unhealthy environment. 

Pure Air Systems, Inc. has been making HEPA and Carbon based, fan-powered, commercial grade air filtration systems since 1985. For over forty years PAS has provided air filtration systems that can be attached to the return air side of any HVAC unit and bring in outside, filtered fresh air. Be bringing in even a small amount of air such as 100 CFM ( cubic feet per minute ), this can add up to 124,000 cubic feet of fresh air into the home every 24 hours meaning  all the air in the house is being exchanged 1.3 times every 24 hour cycle. This helps to keep the home environment safer and cleaner for its occupants. It also helps to dilute the amount of gaseous pollutants that are always present in most homes.

Since it’s beginnings in 1985, Pure Air Systems has strived to push the limits of available technology to continue to improve its HEPA based air filtration systems and offer more operational flexibility for its commercial and residential customer base. During the early years of operation PAS used the common induction motors for their systems. These were limited to one speed and limited the amount of volume adjustment in the filtration systems. 

In 1999, GE produced a new variable speed drive motor known as an ECM motor. This motor was a total departure from the wound copper induction motors as it use magnets for its drive mechanism. It could run forward or backwards and could be controlled digitally to operate in 1% increments from % of volume to 100% of volume. PAS was one of the first companies in the US to test this motor and eventually incorporate it into all of our systems. Additionally, these motors could be used in 120/240 50/60 Hz applications, making them perfectly suited for use overseas where most electrical systems are 240 volt/50Hz. This allowed us to open up new markets in Europe and Asia.

In the past year the the 2nd generation of these motors now allows us to operate them using Bluetooth apps on any smart phone. This gives the customer complete control of the HEPA systems no matter where they are located. And, the new motors can be programmed for different HP requirements from 1/3 HP up to 1 HP and run at full speed even when the pressure drop across the HEPA filters gets as high a 3.3 inches of static pressure.

The new import tariffs against China and other countries will make component parts and about 80% of what we purchase, more expensive. There is little truth in the fact that many of the companies that are overseas will now return to U.S. shores. Unfortunately, all the companies overseas are either owned and operated locally or are part of an international partner. For all intents and purposes, the U.S. has pretty much given up on building new manufacturing plants as most larger corporations would rather design products here and have them made somewh   ere else. Or if they are going to manufacture in the U.S. they will be using Robotics and few people. 

Intel, one of the largest and most profitable companies in the world, just stopped production of two huge Chip Manufacturing plants in Ohio because of slower chip demand and the fact they have lost over $186 Billion in their stock. They hired a new CEO and put the plants on hold until 2030. Making anything is very difficult, especially high end tech products. Apple designs their iPhones, etc, but they are all manufactured overseas. 

Pure Air Systems, Inc., an Indiana based corporation, has been manufacturing high end, fan-powered, HEPA based commercial grade systems since 1985. While some of its components are now manufactured overseas, 80% of the systems are made from American made components. And now, after 40 years. Pure Air Systems, is one of only 3 companies in the world that make this type of high end product. It is very difficult to compete in the world market when you are constantly searching for suppliers that can meet your demands at a price that allows you to make a profit.

There are thousands of ads and videos on all of the social media platforms that prescribe some unique drugs, diets, exercise routines or equipment that will help remedy what ever aliment you might be dealing with. They promote simple solutions to complex problems and we all know that never really works.

Pure Air Systems as been in the commercial air filtration business since 1985 and was one of the first companies to offer true, commercial grade, fan powered HEPA based air filtration to the residential market. The PAS units include metal framed systems that include variable speed motors with digital controllers that range in volume from under 50 CFM to 2,000 CFM. All of the systems can be used independently as stand-alone units or attached to existing HVAC ducted systems. PAS also offer a true Portable unit that can be used in any room and taken with you on trips if necessary.

The fact that all homes, especially new ones have been made to be more air tight creates an environment where airborne particles, including bacteria and some viruses remain airborne a long time and are constantly being recycled by our HVAC unit. And, the air filter that is placed either in your main HVAC air handler or those place on the return air vents in you home are only designed to handle very large particles, usually in the size range of 100 microns and larger. 

True commercial grade HEPA filters, like the ones used in the PAS units. are designed to capture 99.99% of all particles 0.3 microns and larger and become even more efficient over time. Since most harmful bacteria are 10 Microns and smaller and viruses smaller that than that and will pass through a standard face mask like those used in the pandemic.

As the world continues to adjust to the changing economy, one thing is certain, the companies and countries with the most innovative technologies will have stronger economies, better job opportunities and better way of life. If you look at the new wave of AI, Robotic, LLM and Additive manufacturing processes you are looking at the beginning of a new technology revolution that will help create new businesses and business opportunities for people around the world.

It is interesting that innovation research is being done in many countries around the world and the U.S. is trying to stay in the hunt. New technologies usually come from a younger generation of entrepreneurs and youth oriented business models. Almost all of the older technology that the senior generation is familiar with is going through major changes or is being discarded for the more innovative processes. In addition, the Stock Market is finds many of these innovative companies and start-ups to be more attractive for their investors than some of the old line companies that are in the twilight of their business innovation cycle.

Many of the older generation is seeing their old ways of doing everything being changed or eliminated, much to their chagrin. While the younger generation is adapting to new technology at a blazing speed, many of the senior population is still having challenges using the new cell phones and computers. It is truly a sign of the times.

Pure Air Systems has been making high end, commercial grade HEPA based air filtration systems since 1985 and is now one of only three companies in the world still making this type of metal framed, fan-powered HEPA filtration systems for the international market.

In a recent post we mentioned to advancement being made in the use of AI to enable the user to write anything and get answers in seconds. This includes asking the AI programs to write text, code, cad designs, updated modifications to an existing mechanical design, etc.

Today, ChatGPT4.0 was released with even better machine learning capabilities and easer to use prompts. It is evident that AI is going to be a monumental change in the way we do everything. Manufacturing processes will be streamlined and the enhancements to technology will be nothing short of astounding. 

Yes, there are skeptics out there, however, the adaption of AI is now fairly ubiquitous around the globe so companies that hesitate in adapting AI for their operations will very likely falter. In addition, the younger tech generation adapts very quickly to new technologies and through their constant interaction with friends and colleagues through the internet and social media, they will share their data and experiences. 

Companies are now looking for individuals that have some experience in using AI software along with some mechanical and technical skill sets. With the advent of AI, major advancements in Additive Manufacturing and the new Robotics technology, it is possible that the U.S. could somewhat get back into the the realm of manufacturing more of its everyday items rather than have them made overseas.

Pure Air Systems has been manufacturing commercial grade, high end, fan-powered, commercial HEPA air filtration systems since 1985. It is now one of only 3 companies in the world that manufacture this type of equipment. PAS has a line of HEPA systems ranging in capacity from 50 CFM to 2,000 CFM all using variable speed, digitally controlled motors that can be adjusted to work at any speed and can be computer controlled to meet specific needs of the customers.

There are two main factors that are moving the process of using 3D Printing or Additive manufacturing into the product producing mainstream and replacing the traditional machining, CNC and injection molding processes. First, the number of skilled machinists and manufacturing engineers is rapidly declining and secondly, and most important, the younger generation has little or no interest in working for or with any manufacturing operation. The new generation sees their future in the digital world.

The other major reason is the speed in which additive manufacturing has advanced in every facet of product production. This is especially true in the use of additive manufacturing in producing parts from ferrous and nonferrous materials. The ability to produce a steel part that is one piece versus multiple parts or pieces using traditional machining is now blazing new trails in the ability to make a part in one print cycle that used to take five to eight steps. Also, the ability to quickly prototype a part and then change it and print again for five or more iterations in the span of one reduces prototyping and product development to less that 10% of the time for traditional machining.

Interestingly, the method of designing a part for manufacturing is identical in both traditional and additive manufacturing. The use of advanced CAD software allows for the design of any part and the design files are saved in different file types depending whether the part is made on a CNC machine or 3D Printer. This new generation of young workers already know how to use this software as their understanding computers, software, programming and object design is already in place. So, the 3D Printer is a perfect fit for this new group of workers who most likely will work remotely from the actual manufacturing operation.

Pure Air Systems began its operation in 1985 using hand drawings for the design of its HEPA based air filtration systems and then eventually moved into the CAD era and today is looking at using AI for some of its advanced equipment designs. The world of technology is moving at light speed and Pure Air Systems is keeping pace.

Almost 80% of the products purchased on-line from Amazon, Walmart, Ebay and other web based stores, are manufactured in other countries. The majority being made in China. However, many of these products, including Apple iphones, etc, say they are designed in the US but made overseas.

Pure Air Systems has been designing and manufacturing their fan powered, commercial grade, HEPA air filtration systems since 1985. While some of the motors are now made overseas, over 90% of the components that make up the filtration system are made in the USA. These units have shown to be some of the best on the market and many of these systems are still in operation after over 20 years of service.

It is more expensive to purchase components and parts made in the USA and often times a wider selection of component and part types are available from outside the US. Manufacturing is a very challenging process and requires a lot of up front capital to obtain the machinery and skilled labor to make almost anything.

Pure Air Systems continues to look to the US companies to make any new components or parts that are needed for the existing and newly designed units. While these may be more expensive it is important to continue to use parts made in the US to keep these manufacturing operations viable.
