Ambient Air Cleaner Systems
Create a cleaner, safer workspace with ambient air cleaners designed to control welding fumes, smoke, and airborne particulates across large areas. When source capture arms aren’t practical, ambient collectors and jet dust collectors from Air Quality Engineering, Inc. provide the ideal solution. These systems continuously circulate and filter air throughout the facility, reducing overall fume concentrations and improving conditions for welders and nearby workers. Whether your workflow involves multiple stations or changing setups, AQE’s ambient systems deliver consistent performance with minimal interference to your process.

Achieve a Clean Work Environment with Ambient Collectors
Ambient air filtration systems (HEPA filter systems, conventional media purification systems, electronic air cleaners and reverse jet dust collectors) are ideal for welding applications. This is particularly true when source capture (which is the preferred solution) simply won’t work. Ambient air filtration is considered to be the easiest to implement and the least obtrusive to the welder. These air filtration systems and air scrubbers reduce the overall concentration of the welding fumes for the welder and surrounding co-workers with welding fume extraction.
Electrostatic precipitators utilize permanent electronic collector cells to ionize and collect the welding fumes and grinding dust. This style of electronic ambient collectors eliminates the need for future filter replacements, but do require periodic maintenance to maintain their efficiency. These filtration systems require smaller motors and are thus highly energy efficient, making them the best value over the long term. Air Quality Engineering, Inc offers 3 ambient electrostatic air cleaners, the F62B pictured right featuring the Coanda airflow pattern handles 2500 cfm, the F66 pass through style electrostatic unit also handles 2600 cfm and the F73 fume extraction system for those high demand applications with up to 6,000 cfm capacity.
Disposable media type air filtration systems utilize multi-staged filters to maximize filter life and achieve high efficiency. This type of air cleaner requires little maintenance and has a lower capital cost. Air Quality Engineering offers the versatile M66 system with up to 3,000 cfm, configurable with a multitude of accessories and filtration modules. The M67 system, optimized for ambient capture only, is the best value in this class with up to 1900 cfm. The largest ambient air cleaner with disposable filters is our M73 with a capacity of up to 5,000 cfm.
The reverse jet dust collector systems are ideal for heavy welding applications to maximize production and minimize maintenance. These dust collectors utilize compressed air to blow the contaminant off the media. The AQE4000 overhead cartridge system has a 3,000 cfm capacity and unlike many competitor’s units includes all necessary control circuitry (i.e., disconnects, thermal overload protection, pneumatic pulse controller). This weld fume extractor is pictured at left with the optional floor mount stand, hopper accessory and drum mounting kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right ambient air cleaner or jet dust collector?
It depends on your workspace and contaminant type. AQE experts help match the right ambient air cleaners or jet dust collection system to your facility for reliable performance and clean air.
What maintenance do these systems require?
Most ambient air cleaners and jet dust collectors need only simple filter changes or occasional cleanings. Pulse-cleaning and washable filter options reduce downtime and extend service life.
How much do ambient air cleaners and jet dust collection systems cost?
The cost of jet dust collectors and ambient air filtration systems depends on several factors, including the model, capacity, and any optional features added to each unit. All AQE units are made in the USA, helping to keep prices competitive. For a specific quote or expert guidance, call 1-888-883-3273 to speak with an AQE air cleaning professional.
