Biobased Air Filters

A sustainable, high-performance panel filter for residential and commercial HVAC

Braden’s Amaize Air panel filters deliver dependable HVAC filtration performance with an innovative biobased media platform. Designed for residential and commercial applications, the Amaize Air line is available in efficiencies ranging from MERV 8A through MERV 13A. Built to provide effective particle capture, industry-leading low airflow resistance, and a more sustainable alternative to conventional synthetic filter constructions.

Construction

Amaize Air filters use a self-supporting biobased filter media combined with the latest in nanofiber technology. Built to eliminate the need for traditional wire backing, this streamlined construction maintains the strength and rigidity needed for reliable operation while eliminating unnecessary, wasteful components. The wire-free design creates a cleaner, lighter filter construction and helps maximize filter surface area and the biobased content of the complete filter while minimizing filter restriction.

Efficiency

Available in efficiency levels from MERV 8A to MERV 13A, Amaize Air panel filters can be matched to a wide range of indoor air-quality requirements. Lower-efficiency options provide dependable capture of common airborne dust and debris, while MERV 13A models are designed to maintain strong fine-particle performance. The nanofiber composite media construction provides more consistent filtration performance throughout the service life of the filter, because it does not rely on an electrostatic charge.

Patented nanofiber technology

At the core of Amaize Air is a patented nanofiber media construction built to capture fine airborne particles while minimizing resistance to airflow. The extremely small fibers provide a high surface area and create an efficient mechanical filtration layer capable of capturing particles that can pass through conventional coarse-fiber media. This advanced structure allows Amaize Air filters to deliver high efficiency with low pressure drop, supporting effective filtration while helping reduce the workload placed on the HVAC system.

Sustainable, high-capacity V-bank filtration for commercial HVAC

Braden’s Amaize Air V-bank filters combine high-efficiency commercial HVAC performance with an innovative biobased 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 biobased 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 biobased 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 rated under ASHRAE 52.2 Appendix J, which measures efficiency without any electrostatic charge.

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.
