What is a Real Commercial Air Purifier?

If you search for a “commercial” air purifier online today, you’ll mostly find plastic boxes designed for living rooms that have been rebranded for offices. They might move a little air, but in a real-world business environment—like a welding shop, a crowded restaurant, or a print lab—those units don’t just struggle; they fail.

To us, “commercial” isn’t a marketing buzzword. It’s a standard of engineering. Here is what actually defines a commercial-grade machine:

1. Built for the “Unfriendly” Environment

A true commercial unit isn’t made of plastic; it’s built from 14-gauge American steel. It’s designed to live in places that are hot, dusty, or filled with caustic gases. While a residential unit might crack or melt, a commercial air cleaner is built to be the toughest tool in your shop.

2. Massive Air Volume (CFM)

Capacity is the biggest differentiator. If a unit moves less than 500 Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM), it simply isn’t commercial. Large business spaces require massive air exchanges to keep employees safe. Our industrial lines start at 2000 CFM and scale up to 75,00 CFM—because cleaning the air in a warehouse requires more than just a “large” fan; it requires a powerhouse.

3. Purpose-Built Customization

Commercial air quality isn’t “one size fits all.” A cigar lounge needs heavy-duty carbon for smoke, while a medical lab needs HEPA for particulates, and a machine shop needs electrostatic filters for oil mist. A real commercial system is modular, allowing you to mix and match filtration types to solve your specific air problem.

4. Simple, Serviceable, and Supported

In the business world, “smart” gadgets are often just more things that can break. We skip the flimsy circuit boards and phone apps in favor of logical controllers, heavy-duty switches, and simple fuses.

  • Maintenance: You should be able to fix it, not replace it.

  • Support: When you call with a question, you should talk to a person in Wisconsin who knows the machine inside and out, not a distant call center.

  • Warranty: If a company doesn’t back their “commercial” unit with a multi-year or lifetime warranty, it’s probably not as “heavy-duty” as they claim.

The Bottom Line

LakeAir products are designed for where America goes to work. Whether you’re clearing steel dust, neutralizing dry-cleaning fumes, or scrubbing smoke from a lounge, you need a machine that’s as hardworking as you are.

Don’t settle for a plastic “joke.” Trust your air to a machine built for the job.

Popular Commercial Uses

The Maxum HEPA is not limited to deployment at home. The Swiss Oil Rig giant Transocean has taken to deploy the Maxum HEPA on its oil rigs all over the world. From the North Sea to the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, the Maxum HEPA is helping keep a clean working environment for the men an women in the energy industry. You can be sure if these units are working on oil rigs, they will work very well in your homes and offices.

Commercial Mounting Options

Commercial Wall Mounts

LakeAir Provides wall mounting brackets for it LA2 commercial air purifier line. These mounts are constructed from heavy gauge steel and tubing. They are securely fastened to the wall with lag bolts or other commercial fasteners. These brackets should be screwed into wall studs. The unit should be positioned with the control facing away from the wall. This allows for easy access to replace and maintain filters as needed. The purified air enters one end of the air purifying unit and passes through it and travel down the wall away from the commercial air cleaner.

Heavy Duty Wall Mounting Bracket

Commercial Ceiling Hung Mounts

Our Industrial Line, Flush Mount Line and or Ceiling hung model can all be hung from the ceiling. This is the most common mounting for commercial air purification. Our units are equipped with nut inserts or eyebolts to enable ceiling suspension.

You should choose a strong securing point when deciding where to hang our ceiling hung commercial air purifiers. They can way anywhere from 100 to 600 pounds. Each unit will have at least 4 points from which to hang it. It is a good idea to choose a location and hanging accessories that are able to hold at least double the weight of the product you are hanging 

Combined Purification & Ventilation

Commercial Flush to Ceiling Mounts

Flush to ceiling mounted air purifiers are along the lighter line of commercial products. These units are designed to set in a drop ceiling or be set into a sheet rock ceiling. The flush to ceiling design allows these products to look like a part of the normal interior and add to the over attractiveness of the room. In most cases this type of air purification is supported by the same structure that is holding up the drop ceiling. Do not hang any air cleaner in a ceiling grid without addition support.

Ducted Commercial Air Purification

The LAAS offers a ducted option for commercial spaces. This option is popular in cigar lounges and offices within industrial spaces. Commercial building break and lunch rooms. The LAAS HEPA offers ultra-clean air with its True HEPA filter and tremendous odor control with its 5725 gram carbon Filter. 

If you need more airflow, consider the LAAS-1600-S, this electrostatic ducted air purifier offers an additional 500 CFM

Commercial Portable Floor Units

Our MAX Guard line is sold as both residential and commercial. It is has a much larger available air volume than most any other residential air purifier. It’s good looks and low noise level make it a great fit for the home. However the heavy duty construction and large capacity( up to 1500 CFM) make it a good light end commercial unit. The Max Guard can provide 1800 square feet of air purification at 6 air changes per hour. When you need a commercial unit that lloks great, consider the MAX Guard.

Commercial Filtration Types

Commercial Electrostatic Filtration

LakeAir has been making electrostatic precipitators since 1968. Our electrostatic designs vary from many other commercial lines in that we use smaller tolerances and lower voltage.  This design works into todays concerns about ozone emittance. Our filter cells generate far less ozone than many competitors. Our Industrial line of electrostatic units use up to 12 precipitators in one unit. They also use less energy.

These filters last for years and are easy to change out. They can be installed both horizontally and vertically depending on the project specifications. They offer long life due to the high quality of materials used. The insulators are ceramic, not plastic

Commercial HEPA Filtration

LakeAir HEPA Filters

Our HEPA filters are rugged. They have a metal frame to help them stand up to the rigors of commercial use. They are triple glued to help avoid blow through with higher air volumes and filter resistance. The Mini pleat design creates a much greater surface area and allows for a larger dust load. In many of the common applications, 1 HEPA filter will easily last an entire year.

Commercial Media Filtration

499097 Product

Our commercial media filters are available in both MERV 15  and MERV14 High capacity designs. MERV 15 filters are tested to be between 94 and 85% efficient on particles as small as 0.3 microns. MERV 14 filters are certified to be able to capture between 84 and  75% of particles 0.3 microns,

MERV 15 Filters are acceptable for use in smoke removal and other small particulate. MERV14 filters are good for moderate fine particulate general dust  control. The high capacity design allows these filters to be used for longer intervals before filter changes are required  Commercial Media filters for dust are 40% less expensive than standard HEPA filters. Media filtration is not for everyone but could be the right fit for your needs. You can call an expert at LakeAir 800-558-9436 for advice on this type of filtration.

Commercial VOC Extraction

VOC extraction  and odor control are the same thing. It is a common commercial filter application request we hear. Many companies are looking to reduce odor and fumes from their manufacturing processes.  Our VOC extracting filters can be customized based on the needs of the customer. We invite end user to send us MSDS sheets for review. 

We work with our media suppliers to identify the best blend of odor  and fume adsorbers for any particular chemical or chemical blend. All of this is done at no extra cost. The custom blending of the media like the consultation is done as a part of our commercial customer service. Other commercial air purifier manufactures do not offer this value added perk we offer to all LakeAir customers. 

Removing VOC (volatile organic compounds) is not always a straight forward process.  Most of these gases can be removed by activated carbon. Activated carbon has a surface that is filled with  nooks and crannies where gaseous molecules can be trapped. Other gases have a slippery nature and can slide pass the carbon trap. These molecules are better trapped in the sieve like structure present by zeolite. We will make a custom blend of activated carbon and zeolite to remove the greatest amount of VOC’s from the air in your facility.

A Carbon crystal has entrapped many odor molecules
Illustration of a carbon crystal covered with odor molecules

When carbon is activated it splits the carbon crystal with many fissures, holes, cracks and crevices. Odor molecules, as they pass the carbon pieces are attracted to the carbon ang cling to the carbon through the force of adsorption. This force is very powerful for many substances. Other substances slip right through the carbon. These substances are often long chain amino acids. To effectively trap these molecule groups another type of media must be employed. The most readily available media with a structure suitable to capture these molecules is Zeolite.  

Zeolite has a crystalline structure that traps molecules like a net. the crystalline structure of zeolite is much smaller than a micron. Their structure is measured in Angstroms. an angstrom is 10,000 times smaller than a micron. So the sieve of zeolite is between 3 and 8 angstroms across. This tiny structure is amazing at capturing odors. Single molecules are smaller than the sieve, but most of the odors are molecule chains and will be effectively removed from the air steam. By mixing the 2 media types we can effectively remove VOCs and odors from the air in your commercial building.

Commercial UVC Filtration

UVGI Filter Implement

The Pandemic led LakeAir to develop their own VOC Filters. Significant kill rates for viruses of all types was the main aim in our development. With this goal in mind we used high wattage bulbs with little spacing between bulbs. This design made for large kill zones. The viruses in the air steam had no choice but to pass within at least 2 inches of the UVC bulbs.

Where other UVC filter designer saw fit to develop products that paid lip service to the ideal of virus irradiation, We chose to introduce a bit of OVER-KILL. This high level of UVC radiation did raise some safety concerns. To alleviate the danger we surrounded the commercial UVC filter cell with Carbon filters. Carbon naturally absorbs UVC radiation thereby lowering risks to individuals who work in close proximity of our Commercial UVC air purifiers.

Look to LakeAir Commercial UVC air sanitizers to clean viruses and bacteria from the air in the spaces where you work.

Commercial Grease Filters

Grease Baffle Filter for LA2-RC2-Kitchen

Our Commerciale Grease Baffles and filters remove up to 94% of oil and grease from the air stream. They are made of durable stainless steel. They are washable and carry a 7 year warranty. These filters work as a pre-filter in a number of our commercial oil mist removal systems.

The grease baffles are also used as a secondary filter in our popular LA2-RC2- Kitchen unit. This product is used in many small commercial kitchen where proper ventilation is not possible. Many of todays electronic cooking devices advertise and ventless. But, the truth is most of them do require some help in removing grease from the air.

If there is grease or oil in the air in your facility, turn to LakeAir commercial grease filtration to clear the way to your companies success.

Commercial Air Purifier FAQ

What is a Commercial Air Purifier

A commercial air purifier is a device designed and constructed to clean the air in a working environment. A commercial air purifier has a larger air flow capacity, larger filters,  and a longer life expectancy than a residential air cleaner. 

What is the Difference between a Residential and a Commercial air purifier?

In comparing commercial and residential air purifiers;

  • Air cleaning performance is more important than appearance 
  • Cleaning capacity is more important than low noise levels
  • Durability is valued higher than a low price point.

Can I use a Commercial Air Purifier in my Home?

Certain commercial air purification systems will work well in a home. Others maybe to to large or to heavy to be safely mounted in your home. In a commercial unit you should expect higher operating noise levels. That is the main complaint we hear from customers who purchase a commercial unit for use in their homes.

In there a difference between Hospital grade and Commercial grade air purifier?

There are a number of groups who set standards for hospitals. A few of these may specify certain filtration and air flow standards to be considered by them as “hospital grade”. But, in reality air purifiers readily available to the consumer use the title “hospital grade air purifier” without meeting these standards. So, while there can be a difference between the two there is none. Its just clever use of the name to make a sale.

Will a Commercial Air Purifier work better in my home

It is possible that certain commercial air purifiers will work better in your home. It is however important to consider the followings parameters:

  1. Is the amount of power used economical?
  2. Is the noise level produced acceptable?
  3. Can the commercial unit be safely mounted in my home?
  4.  Will the commercial air purifier create undesirable air flow in the home?
