These filters are designed to effectively capture fine particles in the air, and are even capable of dealing with viruses and bacteria. They retain up to 99.995% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, ensuring<strong> optimum purification<\/strong> of workshop<strong> air<\/strong>. By eliminating these particles, you significantly reduce health risks for your workforce and maintain a clean working environment.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>The OberA tip: in addition to fine particles, we customize our <\/em><strong><em>air purifiers to treat VOCs as well.<\/em><\/strong><em>These are more volatile contaminants which are particularly hazardous to operators&#8217; health.

This maintains optimum humidity levels in the workshop, prevents wood drying out and improves operator comfort. What&#8217;s more, <strong>improved air quality<\/strong> contributes to better team concentration and productivity.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the difference between an indoor purifier and an industrial purifier?  <\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Air purifiers for domestic environments<\/strong> are generally designed to be aesthetically pleasing and quiet, suitable for spaces such as bedrooms or living rooms. They are often equipped with features such as LED lights for a pleasant ambience. By contrast, industrial air purifiers, such as those offered by OberA, are designed for <strong>high performance<\/strong>. They are capable of handling large volumes of air and are built to withstand demanding environments, such as workshops. Their robust design and ability to operate continuously <strong>make<\/strong> them <strong>indispensable for ensuring optimum air quality<\/strong> in professional environments.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How air purifiers work in the wood industry<\/h2>\n\n<p>OberA air purifiers use an<strong> advanced filtration system <\/strong>designed to effectively remove pollutants from the air in industrial environments. Here&#8217;s how they work: <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Suction of polluted air<\/h3>\n\n<p>The <strong>purifier captures ambient air laden with fine particles<\/strong>, dust, smoke, odors and VOCs. Some models are equipped with suction arms to capture pollutants directly at source. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multi-stage filtration<\/h3>\n\n<p>The intake air passes through several successive filters for optimum purification:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>G4 filter <\/strong>: captures coarse dust and wood chips;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>HEPA H13 filter <\/strong>: traps up to 99.995% of fine particles (wood dust, allergens, bacteria);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Activated carbon (optional)<\/strong>: neutralizes odors, gases and solvents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Purified air discharge<\/h3>\n\n<p>Once filtered, the air is released back into the workshop, ensuring a safe and healthy working environment for operators. Some <strong>models feature automatic cleaning systems<\/strong> to improve filter efficiency and extend filter life. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Indicators and maintenance<\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>OberA purifiers incorporate LED indicators<\/strong> or light alerts to signal when a filter needs replacing. Some models can be relocated to suit user needs. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specific treatment for OberA models<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <strong>ePUR and EPUR CA models<\/strong> allow filters to be adapted to the pollutants targeted;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The<strong> EPUR 150 FRESH<\/strong> combines air purification and evaporative cooling;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>FILTOWER<\/strong> provides high-capacity purification for large surfaces<strong> <\/strong>(100 to 200 m\u00b2).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to choose the right air purifier for your workshop?  <\/h2>\n\n<p>To guarantee effective purification, it&#8217;s <strong>essential to select a purifier tailored<\/strong> to the specific needs of your workshop. There are several criteria to consider: <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Filter type  <\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>HEPA<\/strong>: captures fine particles (dust, allergens);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Activated carbon <\/strong>: eliminates odours and <a href=\"https:\/\/obera.fr\/en\/our-tips\/composes-organiques-volatiles-cov-impacts-gestion-industrie\/\">volatile organic compounds<\/a> (VOCs);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>HEPA + activated carbon combination recommended for wood workshops<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Volume of air treated  <\/h3>\n\n<p>Check the purifier&#8217;s capacity against the size<strong> of the workshop<\/strong>. Industrial models, like those from OberA, cover large areas and ensure continuous operation. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional options  <\/h3>\n\n<p>Most<strong> OberA industrial purifiers<\/strong> offer options particularly suited to woodworking:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>LED indicators for air quality and filter status ;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mobility: easy to move for flexible use in the workshop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Woodworking industry: recommended air purifiers<\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>range<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Key features<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Applications<\/strong><\/td><td><br\/><strong>Available options<br\/><\/strong><br\/><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>EPUR<\/strong><\/td><td>Robust, modular purifiersMulti-stage filtration: G4 + H13 and activated carbonTreatment: dusts, odors, VOCs, fumes, oil mists<\/td><td><br\/>Wood industry and other sectors<br\/><br\/><\/td><td>Optional EPUR CA (activated charcoal odour filter)ePUR and EPUR CA can be combined<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><br\/><strong>EPUR 150 FRESH<br\/><\/strong><br\/><\/td><td>Air purification and evaporative coolingSaturation filter with visual warningPulse jet cleaning system<br\/><\/td><td><br\/><br\/>Workshops requiring fresh, purified air<br\/><br\/><\/td><td>Suction arm optionConnection to suction table<br\/><br\/><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>FILTOWER<\/strong><\/td><td>Powerful, versatile stationary air purifierTreatment of dusts, odors, fumes, VOCs and oil mistsMoveable via overhead crane or forklift truck<\/td><td><br\/>Large industrial spaces<br\/><br\/><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><br\/><strong>EPUR B01 EcoPrime<br\/><\/strong><br\/><\/td><td>Compact purifier HEPA filtration + activated carbon (captures 99.9% of pollutants)Effective against dust, VOCs, viruses and bacteria<\/td><td>Small workshop<br\/><\/td><td>Protection against contamination and chemicals<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Need details?
