PR Range - Activated Carbon Filters 

Introduction 

AAC PR - A low cost range of plastic refillable 

activated carbon filters with re-usable filter trays. 

Manufactured from high quality virgin injection 

moulded plastic and assembled at our site in 

Brownhills, these filters have a removable sealing strip 

fitted at either end enabling the granular or pelletised 

media to be easily poured out and then recharged.

Carbon Canisters - Carbon Cylindrical Filters 

Introduction 

The AAC CF range of cylindrical filters is a new 

addition to the long established and highly successful 

range of activated carbon filter products from AAC 

Eurovent. These filters are made of galvanised mild 

steel and are filled with 3mm virgin carbon pellets. 

The cylinders are designed to provide the maximum 

filtration potential. Manufactured to the highest 

quality and made to fit most type of extractor fans 

and mounting frames, these filters give excellent 

airflows and odour control. The filters incorporate a 

removable flange design, which permits easy media 

replacement and their dual use as mountable 

filtration cylinders. 

The AAC CF Range Of Filters Are Available In A Variety Of Sizes:

Colourcell ® - Media Filter System 

Introduction 

AAC Eurovent's new AAC Colourcell ® provides a visual 

indication as to the condition of the installed 

media. Most media types have a consistent colour/appearance 

over their lifetime, however the use of AAC 

Eurovent’s “Lynx” media has a visible colour change 

which shows the medias condition when used in the 

AAC Colourcell®. 

This provides the end user/maintenance personnel 

with an immediate indication of the medias 

condition. 

AAC Swiftpack® unit containing PR filters and single 

AAC Colourcell® filter. 

A full quantitive CTC test can also be carried out to 

provide a comprehensive verification of the visual 

result on the main best type media, should an 

in-depth assessment be required. 


•฀Provides immediate indication of the media 

condition 

• Low initial cost 

• Refillable 

• Multi compartments to prevent media 

settling/compacting and any consequential 

air by-pass 

• State of the art patented technology 





A Guide To 

Replacement 

The AAC Colourcell ® is only 

used as a guide as to when the 

media requires replacement, 

consequently to confirm the 

visual indication, a sample of 

media should be removed 

and chemically tested as in 

the case when activated 

carbon media is used because 

it is black in colour and remains 

so even at the end of its useful 

life. 

Media in new/good condition 

Media in use with some useful life 

Media becoming used - 

breakthrough may occur. Possible 

chemical test required. 

Media fully spent. No life remaining. 

Remove a sample and crush - if the interior is purple 

this confirms that there is still useful media life.
