Johnson Controls, the provider of smart and sustainable buildings, announces the KOCH™ DuraMAX line of air filters. With a range of efficiency ratings from MERV 11 to MERV 16, DuraMAX filters are a smart and safe upgrade from bag filters and other box-style rigid filters and effectively help lower the spread of COVID-19 indoors.

The DuraMAX line of filters works alongside other Johnson Controls HVAC products and solutions to help make buildings more safe, secure and sustainable.

Indoor air quality solution

Primarily used for large commercial and industrial applications, the DuraMAX line of filters is a superior indoor air quality solution to help a wide range of buildings combat the spread of COVID-19 and other airborne diseases,” said Mark Mattingly, vice president and general manager, Air Filtration Products, Johnson Controls.

DuraMAX is an ideal choice in filtration systems with high velocities or variable air volumes

These medium and high-efficiency filters include the DuraMAX 4V and 4VS-16 with an industry-leading MERV 16 rating and low resistance to airflows, allowing customers to save money on energy costs while experiencing the highest levels of filtration.” Tested in accordance with ASHRAE Test Standard 52.2-2017, DuraMAX is an ideal choice in filtration systems with high velocities or variable air volumes.

High-Efficiency air filter

The high-capacity mini-pleat design allows a nominal 24x24x12 filter to incorporate 194 square feet of filter space, which creates an extremely high dust-holding capacity to significantly prolong the service life of the filter. The DuraMAX 4v is designed to replace almost any competitive high-efficiency air filter in the market.

The lightweight, all-plastic frame installs into side-access housings or front-load holding frames and is an ideal choice to replace bag filters and other box-style rigid filters. The durable, all-plastic frame makes the DuraMAX 4v the filter of choice in filtration systems with high velocities, variable air volumes and high moisture, or in areas where the user desires to incinerate the filters after use.
