Detailed Description
ATMCU is designed for continuous operation in high-temperature clean processes where standard HEPA filters fail. Its all-inorganic construction (stainless steel + glass) eliminates organic outgassing that could contaminate sensitive processes, making it the filter of choice for depyrogenation tunnels in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Binder-Free, Low-Shedding Construction
A conventional HEPA bonds and seals its media and frame with polyurethane (PU) or silicone, and those sealants are generally rated for long-term service somewhere in the 100–200°C range. Above that, the adhesive first softens and cracks, releasing organic molecules, then embrittles and flakes under repeated thermal cycling — at which point the filter itself becomes a particle source. ATMCU uses no organic adhesive anywhere: sealing is done with glass fiber, the frame and separators are stainless steel, and the entire assembly is metal and glass only.| Component | Conventional adhesive HEPA | ATMCU (binder-free) |
|---|---|---|
| Sealant | Polyurethane / silicone | GLASS FIBER |
| Media bonding | Organic binder | None (glass paper) |
| Separator | Aluminium foil + hot-melt | STAINLESS STEEL |
| Outgassing at temperature | Organic molecules, siloxane | None |
| Shedding after thermal cycling | Rises as adhesive degrades | Stays stable |
With no organic adhesive there is nothing to thermally decompose. Two practical consequences follow:
- Low particle shedding — degrading, flaking adhesive is the most common source of self-generated particles in high-temperature filters. A binder-free build keeps downstream particle counts from creeping back up as the filter ages through repeated heat-up and cool-down cycles.
- No siloxane contamination — silicone seals release siloxane at elevated temperature, and siloxane deposited on wafers, optical surfaces or coated substrates causes hazing and yield loss. Semiconductor, optical coating and OLED processes are particularly sensitive to this.
Depyrogenation tunnels cycle up and down in temperature every day and run continuously — the duty cycle where adhesive degradation shows up fastest. A binder-free build keeps ATMCU downstream particle counts consistent across the full service life, avoiding the case where counts rise before the filter ever reaches its terminal pressure drop.
Applications
- Depyrogenation tunnels in pharmaceutical cleanrooms - High-temperature clean ovens for sterile component manufacturing - Terminal filtration in high-temperature process equipment - Power generation and nuclear facility HVACSelection Notes
- **150 mm (Q) depth** — choose when installation space is limited or the airflow demand is moderate. - **290 mm (P) depth** — choose when maximum airflow per unit face area is required, or when extended service life matters (larger dust-holding capacity). - Scan-testable as standard; leak-free versions available on request. - Replace when pressure drop reaches 500 Pa (2× initial) or per site maintenance schedule.Selection References
