Airex Industries Baghouse APC-2000
The Airex APC-2000 is a heavy-duty, modular fabric filter baghouse optimized for high dust-load industrial processes, balancing upfront capital affordability with straightforward serviceability. Compared with cartridge-first designs like the PowerCore, the APC-2000 offers greater particulate holding capacity and lower replacement part costs per square foot, making it financially attractive for continuous, high-volume operations where filter media volume and durability matter more than minimum footprint. Its modularity and robust construction make it a best-in-class choice for plants seeking scalable, budget-conscious baghouse collectors.
