WHY SHOULD I USE A CARBON FILTER?
Dust filters simply do not adsorb harmful chemicals – they are designed to only capture dust.
OEM activated carbon filters are not as effective as Purecab filters are removing chemicals before entering your cabin.
Purecab filters are designed and proven to remove more chemicals and the only ones tested to pass the industry standard. Replace your dust filter or OEM carbon filter with a Purecab filter and ensure your family and workers are best protected against breathing in harmful chemicals.
Activated carbon filters can also be known as ‘charcoal filters’, although technically they use a specially formulated carbon which has gone through an ‘activation’ process at extremely high temperature. When using agricultural chemicals you need to be protected at all time, especially when working inside your tractor cabin for hours.
Most tractor manufacturers are offering Category 4 tractor cabins which provide an airtight seal, and in some countries the spraying of chemicals requires both a Cat 4 cabin and an activated carbon filter. Purecab filters also suit Cat 3 tractor cabins, and our range extends to activated carbon recirculation filters for complete protection.
We recommend you check your local and federal laws to ensure your family and workers are properly protected against chemical exposure when spraying. For a small investment you can properly protect your workers, your family and yourself.
Important, only Purecab filters passed industry standard ASABE S613-3, laboratory tested independently in the USA.
THE SAFEST CABIN AIR FILTERS
PROVEN TO ADSORB UP TO 11X MORE CHEMICALS THAN OTHER FILTERS
In late 2022 extensive testing was completed on a range of chemical filters at Assay Technologies LLC, USA. Testing was to strict industry standard ASABE S613-3 for tractor chemical cabins, where effective filtration performance to protect the operator’s health is critical.
Alongside filters from various manufacturers, Purecab’s filters with ADXORB® Activated Carbon were the only ones to pass the standard, and performed well beyond all others. Chemical adsorption was up to 11x greater and the filter’s effective life continued to perform went beyond the required standard duration.
Purecab chemical filters not only exceed ASABE S613-3 they are made according to European Standard EN15695-2.
ABOUT ADXORB ACTIVATED CARBON
The process of adsorption is where contaminated airborne particles and vapours are attracted to the surface of the activated carbon. Each activated carbon piece has a surface area of the size of a football field! This means it can adsorb chemicals for a period until the surface is full, at which time the carbon is due for replacement.
We can supply our ADXORB® Activated Carbon, suitable for most spraying applications, or specific carbon for applications such as ammonia. If you’re unsure, just contact us for advice.
Filter Care
Your filter should be replaced or recharged every 12 months or 400 hours of use, whichever is sooner.
Purecab filters exceed standard ASABE S-613-3 and are manufactured according to EN15695-2 for agricultural tractors and self-propelled sprayer's tractor cabin air filters.
