Air scrubbers
Air scrubbers are used to improve air quality in any environment. They work by removing airborne particles which can include viruses, allergens and mould spores, also helping to reduce bad odours and fight away airborne bacteria. Our air scrubbers are mainly used for construction and industrial climate control, but are also suitable for agriculture, production, commercial spaces, and water damage restoration.
Why choose air scrubbers?
With the importance of clean air more widely understood than ever, air scrubbers are increasingly employed to filter the air of many harmful contaminants. Whether it is airborne bacteria and viruses, gases like CO2, or metallic and wooden particles created during construction work, air scrubbers can capture and eliminate these in any setting.
When fitted with a H13 HEPA filter, our air cleaning units are 99.95% effective in capturing particles and organisms as small as 0.3 microns in size. This means they can be employed to eliminate practically all forms of air pollution, including:
Carbon dioxide and similar gases
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
Dust
Metallic and wooden particles
Smoke
Asbestos
Mould spores
Pet dander
When employed, this high-efficiency air filtration plays a key role in protecting people’s overall wellbeing, reduces the frequency of allergic reactions and asthma attacks, limits the spread of disease, and minimises mould growth in numerous environments. They also improve the performance of nearby heaters and air-conditioners.
Furthermore, used alongside carbon filters or a dedicated negative air machine, our air scrubbers can greatly reduce bad odours in an environment.
When compared to commercial air purifiers, our air scrubbers’ adeptness at targeting dust, mould spores and larger, dangerous particles from the air means they are often used on construction sites and industrial applications. The ongoing threat posed by dust and air pollution means they are also often used by carpenters, locksmiths, laundries and more.
Air scrubbers are also a key support during water damage restoration works, particularly when contaminated water is present. This restricts the spread of harmful bacteria in the atmosphere, so contractors can carry out their work with greater reassurance.

Air scrubbers: Frequently Asked Questions
What is an air scrubber?
What is an air scrubber?
Air scrubbers remove a wide range of impurities from the air, including metallic and wooden particles, as well as bacteria, dust and other air pollutants.
These units will typically use HEPA and other air filters to capture incredibly small particles, and may also use UV light, activated carbon and ionisers to keep atmospheres clean.
How does an air scrubber work?
How does an air scrubber work?
Most air scrubbers work by drawing in air from inside a room, passing it through one or multiple filters, and then blowing the cleaned air back into the room. This enables it to contain and remove pollutants like dust, pollen, pet dander, smoke and germs.
Air scrubbers with HEPA filters are the most effective, as these are capable of removing particles as small as 0.3 microns in diameter.
These units also often use negative ions, which attach themselves to both airborne and surface particles. These make particles heavier, and therefore easier to clean and gather within the system.
What are the benefits of using an air scrubber?
What are the benefits of using an air scrubber?
Air scrubbers are exceptional at improving indoor air quality in industrial and construction settings. They are very capable at removing dust, pollutants and other contaminants that are generated during construction, renovation and other industrial processes.
This helps reduce the risk these environments pose to people with respiratory problems, such as asthma and allergies. Overall, this makes these workspaces safer for those on-site and improves people’s overall health and wellbeing.
Can an air scrubber remove VOCs from polluted air?
Can an air scrubber remove VOCs from polluted air?
Yes, some air scrubbers utilise activated carbon filters that specifically target and remove VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
However, not all air scrubbers are designed to remove VOCs, so it is important to check the specifications of a unit before you purchase or apply them for this purpose. Furthermore, the effectiveness of VOC removal also depends on the type of VOCs present in the air, the concentration of VOCs, and the size of the air scrubber.
When would you use an air scrubber over an air purifier?
When would you use an air scrubber over an air purifier?
Air scrubbers and air purifiers perform the same role of improving air quality in a space, and there are no significant differences in performance, quality or running costs.
However, air scrubbers are more suitable for environments where larger airborne particles are present, such as construction dust and mould spores, such as construction sites and industrial settings. Air purifiers are more suitable for more domestic or commercial environments.
What industries commonly use air scrubbers?
What industries commonly use air scrubbers?
Industries that typically use and benefit from air scrubbers include industrial and manufacturing settings, construction sites, agricultural environments and water damage restoration projects.
What are the best air scrubbers for commercial use?
What are the best air scrubbers for commercial use?
The right air scrubber for your needs will depend on a range of factors, including the size of the space you wish to use your air cleaner and the number of people or animals in these spaces. Speak to our experts for advice on the ideal air cleaners for your commercial setting.
Can an air scrubber remove smoke and dust?
Can an air scrubber remove smoke and dust?
