H&V Announces US Investment in Carbon-Containing Filter Media Production
East Walpole, MA October 30, 2009: Hollingsworth & Vose ("H&V") today announces plans to install a carbon composite filter media manufacturing line in the United States. This investment is an expansion of its Adsorptive Filter Media (“AFM”) technology platform operating in Hatzfeld, Germany.
Indoor and cabin air quality is increasing in importance globally. H&V’s unique patented AFM technology combines particulate and gas phase filtration in one media to meet demanding customer adsorption requirements. The AFM technology platform provides a high degree of flexibility allowing the filter media adsorption performance to be tailored to specific environments. Other benefits include low dusting, extended filter life cycle, high capacity, high efficiency and good processability. H&V offers a broad range of sorbents, ranging from activated carbons to molecular sieves and ion exchange resins. This media is used in panel, extended surface and v-bank filters for odor control, corrosion control, toxic gas removal and elimination of airborne pollutants.
Mike Clark, Vice President & General Manager of H&V’s High Efficiency & Specialty Filtration Business Unit comments, “We see a growing market need for gas phase filter media and want to bring these capabilities to our North American customers. Expanding our AFM platform is consistent with our global strategy to provide the highest quality advanced technology filtration media to meet our customers’ needs.”
