Camfil introduces the new CamCarb XG molecular filter cartridge with innovative conical design

CamCarb XG is a versatile, ergonomic, cost-efficient, and corrosion-resistant filter suitable for fresh air, recirculation, and exhaust air systems in industrial, commercial, and public sectors.

Innovation in molecular filtration: the new CamCarb XG filter cartridge from Camfil.

Camfil, a leading manufacturer of solutions for clean air, announced today the German market launch of the new molecular filter cartridge CamCarb XG. CamCarb XG features a novel conical design that enables high separation performance while maintaining low pressure loss. The filter cartridge was developed to reduce energy and maintenance costs when removing molecular contaminants, such as unpleasant odors, contamination control, or corrosion protection.

Molecular filters, depending on the region and application, are also known as gas phase filters, chemical air filters, or activated carbon filters, and are used for contaminants involving gases, vapors, and other airborne molecules that cannot be captured with particulate filters.

The optimization of the traditionally cylindrical shape of filter cartridges is the result of continuous investment in research and development by the Swedish filter manufacturer. The development of the patented design involved Camfil laboratories and ISO 10121 testing facilities worldwide, with a focus on fluid dynamics and media adsorption. The result: an improved conical shape that ensures optimal utilization of the filter media and minimizes pressure loss. CamCarb XG can be filled with different adsorption media such as activated carbon or activated aluminum oxide, which are manufactured by Camfil under strict quality assurance procedures and tested according to ISO 10121-1:2014.

"Thanks to the unique combination of high separation efficiency, low flow resistance, and long service life of our CamCarb XG filter cartridge, customers benefit from very low total operating costs," said Dr. Guillaume Gallet, Head of the 'Molecular Contamination Control' (MCC) division at Camfil.

"Thanks to its ergonomic shape, the CamCarb XG can be installed or replaced approximately twice as quickly as conventional products, making it a very attractive solution for service and facility management companies. The CamCarb XG represents a milestone in air filtration and is ahead of everything currently available on the market. The innovative conical design reduces energy consumption by up to 35%, which not only significantly lowers energy costs but also positively impacts the CO₂ footprint."

Elaine Seet, who is responsible for the CamCarb XG as Regional Product Manager at Camfil Industrial Molecular Filtration, is particularly committed to the latter: "The entire MCC division is dedicated to sustainability, which can be seen at every stage of the product lifecycle. Our solution approach, the innovative design, precise process control, and our focus on customer needs all contribute to a product development that aims to save more, consume less, and find ever better ways to protect people, processes, and the environment."
