Why commercial air purifiers complete your hygiene strategy
Inside busy commercial and industrial environments, dust and fumes behave unpredictably. While LEV systems and regular cleaning regimes eliminate contaminants at the source, airborne particles remain suspended in the air. These fine dust particles don’t just float – they settle, circulate and disrupt.
And that’s where the problems begin.
These airborne particles:
- Compromise hygiene-sensitive areas
- Resettle on machines, packaging, products and surfaces
- Trigger employee irritation, allergies and health complaints Increase cleaning demands on sensitive equipment
- Raise the risk of hygiene failures, audits and customer complaints
By renting a commercial air purifier, you can bridge the gap. They capture what extraction and cleaning routinely miss, creating a complete air-hygiene strategy built for compliance, comfort and operational control.
Who benefits from commercial air purifiers?
What’s at stake if you don’t install commercial air cleaners?
1. Rising cleaning costs and avoidable downtime
Fine dust and fumes settle repeatedly on surfaces, walkways, machines, packaging and lighting. Cleaning such as wiping and vacuuming becomes constant, resulting in productivity slowing and outsourced costs increasing. Cleaning teams can’t keep up when the air keeps undoing their work.
With a commercial air cleaner in place, you stop airborne particles from settling in the first place – cutting cleaning costs and reducing disruption.
2. Increased machine wear and breakdowns
Airborne particles infiltrate sensitive machinery – clogging filters, corroding electronics and fouling moving parts. It leads to overheating, short circuits or complete shutdowns. Maintenance costs increase. Spare parts stack up. And you become all too familiar with the repair team.
A commercial air filtration system keeps fine dust particles out of your machines – extending machine life, reducing unplanned stoppages, and protecting productivity.
3. Health complaints and sick leave
Dust and fumes affect more than air quality – they affect people. From irritated eyes and throats to headaches, allergic reactions and long-term respiratory issues. These contaminants are silent stressors that lower morale, increase complaints and lead to more sick leave.
A healthier workplace starts with commercial air cleaning – protecting your team and reducing absenteeism.
4. The cognitive cost of poor air
The impact isn’t only physical. Exposure to polluted air, especially fine particles like PM2.5 and smaller, is proven to impair concentration, accuracy and decision-making. Research from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that cognitive performance scores were 61% higher in greener, well-ventilated workplaces with improved air quality compared to standard indoor environments. Poor air makes people slower, less focused and more prone to mistakes.
5. Failed audits and hygiene violations
Industries with strict standards, manufacturing, food production, logistics, pharmaceuticals, electronics and more, cannot afford airborne contamination. Air contamination is a compliance killer. Even traces of dust or mist on surfaces or packaging can lead to non-conformities, lost certifications or product recalls. If a customer or inspector notices, reputational damage follows fast. Audits aren’t failed on paperwork; they’re failed on dust. Clean air isn’t a bonus; it’s a requirement.
Commercial air filtration adds a critical layer of compliance protection.
6. Lost trust from staff, customers or stakeholders
People notice dust – from seeing it on stock and on shelves, to feeling it in the air. Whether it’s a forklift driver, a food auditor or a visiting client, dirty air compromises your reputation. Employees feel overlooked. Visitors lose confidence. Partners and customers notice these details. If the air quality is poor, they naturally begin to wonder what else could be falling short.
With a commercial air purifier, you strengthen trust, credibility and brand perception.

It’s simply a better place to work – the clean air difference at Atomising Systems
Even with LEV and disciplined cleaning in place, fine metal dust was still settling on surfaces and stock. Zehnder’s commercial air purifiers closed the gap – improving air quality, employee comfort and production hygiene.
Everything you need to know about commercial air purifiers
How does a commercial air purifier work with my LEV system?
LEV handles dust and fumes at the source, but no extraction system on earth catches everything. The moment particles escape the hood, they drift, circulate and settle on the very surfaces you’re trying to keep clean.
A commercial air purifier fills that gap. It cleans the entire room, continuously filtering the ambient air and capturing the fine particles that LEV misses. LEV tackles the source. Our systems tackle the space. Together, they create true air hygiene.
Will commercial air purifiers really reduce our cleaning needs?
Yes, and dramatically. Many businesses see up to a 70% reduction in manual cleaning, simply because there’s far less dust settling in the first place.
In warehouses, food plants or logistics centres, settled dust is a never-ending battle. A commercial air cleaner stops that cycle. Less residue on machinery. Fewer wipedowns. Fewer outsourced cleans. Less disruption.
Every hour not spent cleaning becomes an hour back to production.
What types of particles can commercial air purifiers filter?
Zehnder’s air cleaning systems are engineered around your dust and specific challenges. They can filter:
– Wood and MDF dust (joineries, furniture makers)
– Flour, spice and sugar dust (bakeries, food plants)
– Metal dust, oil mist and welding fumes (fabrication)
– Paper, pallet and tyre dust (logistics and warehousing)
– VOCs and fine spray (coating, painting and plastics)
– and many more
If it floats, drifts or circulates, we can filter it.
Can I track the commercial air filtration system remotely?
Yes. If you’d like to, our systems can be equipped with CARA – Zehnder’s Clean Air Remote Application. It lets you track real-time air quality, filter performance, airflow status and maintenance alerts. Whether you’re in the office, on the factory floor or off-site entirely, you stay in control. It’s remote monitoring designed for compliance, confidence and peace of mind.
Do I need to service or manage the commercial air cleaners myself?
Not at all. You rent the system – and Zehnder takes full responsibility. That includes installation, scheduled maintenance, filter replacement and ongoing optimisation. Our local service team ensures your system is always working as it should – and that your air quality stays on point, without extra workload on your side. No training. No admin. No supplier juggling. Just clean air that runs reliably in the background.
