F9 V-Bank Filters — Same Filtration Grade, Half the Energy Cost
The V-Bank does the same job as a standard pocket filter — F9 fine particle filtration — but it uses roughly half the fan energy to do it. That means lower electricity costs, quieter AHU operation, and longer intervals between filter changes. The Airtech V-Bank is built on a compact mini-pleat design with an ABS plastic frame that is fully incinerable — a requirement in pharmaceutical facilities where used filters cannot go to landfill. We stock both full-size and half-size formats in Pretoria. Most South African suppliers import V-Bank filters to order. We hold them on the shelf.

Why V-Bank over Pocket Filter?
Same F9 filtration grade. Half the resistance. That translates directly to lower fan energy costs and longer service life between replacements. The ABS frame can be incinerated after use — no landfill disposal issues for pharmaceutical or healthcare facilities.
Applications
- Pharmaceutical facilities — The ABS frame is fully incinerable, which meets GMP waste disposal requirements. V-Bank sits at the secondary stage before terminal HEPA, extending the HEPA filter's service life.
- Data centres — F9 filtration at low energy cost. The V-Bank's lower resistance directly reduces power usage in energy-sensitive data centre environments.
- Large commercial HVAC — Shopping centres, hospitals, airports, and large office buildings with high filter counts benefit from fewer replacements per year and lower maintenance costs.
- Cleanroom secondary stage — Provides fine particle filtration before HEPA with less load on the AHU fan than a pocket filter at the same grade.
