Braden’s Amaize Air V-bank filters combine high-efficiency commercial HVAC performance with an innovative bio-based media platform. Designed for applications where high airflow, energy efficiency, extended service life, and dependable particle capture are critical, Amaize Air V-bank filters are available in efficiencies ranging from MERV 11A through MERV 16A. Multiple high-area filter packs are arranged in an efficient V-shaped configuration, providing exceptional filtration surface area, low pressure drop, and a sustainable alternative to conventional synthetic or glass-fiber filter constructions.
Construction
Amaize Air V-bank filters use a bio-based composite media combined with the latest in nanofiber technology. A total of eight minipleat packs (4V filter) are positioned in V configurations in a rigid frame, maximizing the amount of usable filtration area. This design distributes airflow across a substantially larger media surface, reducing velocity through the media and minimizing resistance. The optimized construction delivers the strength and stability required for demanding commercial HVAC applications while helping maximize the bio-based content of the finished filter.
Efficiency
Available in efficiency levels from MERV 11A through MERV 16A, Amaize Air V-bank filters are built to meet the demanding indoor air-quality requirements of commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, data centers, educational facilities, power-generation facilities, and other high-airflow environments. The nanofiber composite media provides strong capture of fine airborne particles while maintaining stable mechanical efficiency throughout the filter’s service life. Unlike filtration technologies that depend primarily on electrostatic charge, Amaize Air media is immune to efficiency loss as the filter operates, providing dependable performance under real-world conditions.
High media area and low pressure drop
The V-bank configuration incorporates multiple minipleated filter packs within a compact footprint, providing substantially more filtration surface area than conventional panel or box-filter designs. This expanded media area allows the filter to process high volumes of air while maintaining exceptionally low pressure drop. Lower airflow resistance can reduce the workload placed on HVAC fans, support improved system airflow, and help lower energy consumption over the operating life of the filter.
Extended service life
In addition to reducing pressure drop, the expanded filtration area provides greater capacity for captured particulate. Distributing dust across more media helps slow the rate of pressure-drop increase, extending the filter’s usable service life and reducing the frequency of filter changes. The combination of high dust-holding capacity, low resistance, and durable construction makes Amaize Air V-bank filters especially well suited for continuously operating HVAC systems and other applications where maintenance access, energy consumption, and filter life are important considerations.
Patented nanofiber technology
At the core of Amaize Air V-bank filters is a patented nanofiber media construction built to capture fine airborne particles while minimizing resistance to airflow. The extremely small fibers form a high-surface-area mechanical filtration layer capable of capturing particles that can pass through conventional coarse-fiber media. By combining this advanced nanofiber layer with a high-area V-bank configuration, Amaize Air delivers high efficiency, exceptionally low pressure drop, extended service life, and consistent performance for demanding commercial HVAC applications.
