Grant Instruments ap360 Air Purifier

The Grant Instruments ap360 is the next generation product for rapid air purification. Based on Grant Instruments’ core engineering strengths and manufacturing expertise, together with proven science around ultraviolet light (UVC) as a disinfectant, this quiet, high-performance device is an ideal air hygiene solution for clinical settings and businesses. The Grant ap360 helps you to keep your staff, patients or customers safe from airborne infection, as well as removing aerosols, pollen, dust and other particulates.

The Grant ap360 is the next generation in rapid air purification. Based on Grant Instruments’ core engineering strengths and manufacturing expertise, together with proven science around ultraviolet light (UVC) as a disinfectant, our quiet, high-performance device is an ideal air hygiene solution for clinical settings and businesses. The ap360 helps to keep staff, patients or customers safe from airborne infection, as well as removing aerosols, pollen, dust and other particulates.

The ap360’s powerful fan, coupled with a medical-grade, high capacity HEPA13 filter and two powerful UVC lamps, gives you fast and effective air purification. Therefore, you can use the room again much more quickly than if you just let the air settle naturally. For COVID-19 risk reduction, the ap360 is an ideal tool to use in conjunction with surface cleaning, social distancing, PPE and other protective measures. In commercial settings, the ap360 means you can get more work done and generate more revenue.

Thanks to its vertical design and concentric ducts, the ap360 extracts air from every direction and pushes it back throughout the room quickly and efficiently. The innovative design has a fast turbo mode for rapid air cleaning (eg between patients or after a meeting) and an almost-silent whisper mode for background use. The rated airflow capacity of 360 m³ per hour means that the ap360 will recycle the air in a 90 m³ room (about the size of a dental treatment room) four times in an hour, maximising air quality and combating the risks of dangerous airborne pathogens such as COVID-19.

The 360° air intake draws air in and passes it through an EN1822 standard HEPA13 certified filter to trap particles including aerosol droplets. This also removes dust, pollen, and many other allergens. The fan and filter have been co-designed with a feedback sensor so that as the filter gradually becomes dirty, the fan will compensate to ensure that the airflow from the machine remains at specified levels. The filter and bulbs have a life of at least one year depending on usage. We provide an annual on-site replacement and disposal service.

It is well-proven that UVC light destroys viruses and bacteria. It does this by damaging their RNA and DNA, which makes them unable to replicate. This killing effect has been shown in many published studies, and UVC has been used successfully in water and air purification systems for decades. Based on published results in the scientific literature, we know that the ap360 kills 99.95 % of known viruses and bacteria (including coronaviruses) using a UVC dose of at least 280 J/m².

We developed the ap360 to meet clinical and business needs for cleaner air. In the post-COVID-19 world, the topic of air hygiene is increasingly important. We applied our engineering expertise to develop a unique solution that gives businesses much better control over their airborne risks, allowing more intensive but safe use of commercial space. In many settings (eg dentists, gyms) an investment in the ap360 pays back within weeks.
