PROTECTION FROM DUST AND OILY MIST
Industrial facilities, production lines, state of the art electronic machinery all have a common enemy: floating impurities like dust, oily mists or dirt cover the components of every type of machinery.
Protect Electric Motors, Electronic Machines, Compressors and Heat Exchangers with CATCHER protective filters.

PREVENT DOWNTIME AND REDUCE GENERAL MAINTENANCE COSTS
CATCHER is a family of protective filters that capture floating impurities before they enter your most precious industrial machines. Applying CATCHER to external air intakes or motor fan covers can avoid dust, dirt and oily mists from entering and damaging the components of Electronic Machines, Compressors, Heat Exchangers and Electric Motors.
Catcher filters protect your machines from impurities.
Polluting substances and elements are captured by CATCHER's knitted fabric, thus making easier the preservation of thinner and healthier air inside your facilities. The filter's replacement takes less than a minute to perform. Control of the filter's state is purely visual, reducing the labour time dedicated to ordinary machinery cleaning.
CHINOOK
PROTECTION for ELECTRIC MOTORS
DO NOT GAMBLE WITH DOWNTIME
Protecting your motor's lifetime and avoiding the spreading of suspended particles make the case for using Catcher Chinook. Easy installation and replacement thanks to visual control are the basic reasons for protecting industrial electric motors of diverse sizes with Chinook's patented system.
Equipment cleaning can sometimes become a burdening activity. Oversights, overtime workload, large industrial facilities to inspect: some of the many factors that can dissolve the urgency for care of the machinery. Do not gamble with downtime.
MISTRAL
PROTECTION for ELECTRONIC MACHINES
DO NOT GAMBLE WITH DOWNTIME
The packaging, chemical, textile, pharmaceutical and food industries all require maximum attention for asepsis: these environments can't allow the presence of impurities inside sophisticated machines where automation machinery, refrigeration equipment, industrial robots or CNC machines are vital in the production processes.
Protecting the components of cooling systems, air conditioning cabinets, enclosures and electrical panels has never been so simple. Covering the external vents of any industrial enclosures with Mistral is easy thanks to the multiple sizes available.
ZEPHYR
PROTECTION for COMPRESSORS, COOLING SYSTEMS and HEAT EXCHANGERS
DO NOT GAMBLE WITH DOWNTIME
Better air flow is the principal goal of Zephyr's special fabric, designed to stop impurities, dust and oily mists before they enter your industrial compressors and heat exchangers. Protecting with Zephyr the external air intakes and thus lightening any strain for the system, facilitates ordinary machine cleaning.
No switchgear openings and reduction of the possibility of downtime issues are fundamental for interruption-free operation of critical machines like cooling systems.

FAQ
The first time I install Catcher filters what should I do?
Before installing Catcher be sure the machine's internal filters are clean.
How long does the filter last?
Depends on the environment and the quantity of pollutants, on average a week.
What happens if I leave the filter mounted even when it is very dirty?
The dirt reduces airflow and this may lead to the overheating of the engine or the electronic system.
THEREFORE IT IS IMPORTANT TO CHANGE THE FILTERS REGULARLY AND TO PERFORM PROPER AND CONSTANT MAINTENANCE.
How to dispose of used filters?
The filters are special waste to be treated like any other industrial waste (oily rags, etc.)
Of what material is the plastic wrap?
Polyester
The filter material is fireproof?
TNT in Mistral is natural self-extinguishing;
TNT of Zephir is chemically treated with flame retardant;
Chinook is flame resistant in accordance to DIN 53438: F1 / M1
What are the differences between Mistral and Zephir?
Zephyr has a higher air permeability and greater ability to retain dust and oil.
Machine protection can sometimes be too time-consuming: urgent deadlines, lack of specialised manpower or even simple omissions may prevent companies from replacing filters regularly. Don't Gamble with Machine Downtime
