Pure Air Shield 3300
Euromate BV is a Dutch company that has been focusing on air cleaning systems for over 45 years. Euromate has an extensive portfolio of air filters for a wide range of applications, in which various techniques are used to reduce particulate matter, odors and gases, as well as microbes such as bacteria and viruses.
As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, there was an increasing interest in air cleaning solutions for reducing airborne viruses, especially in large areas such as open-plan offices, waiting areas, gyms and classrooms. Effective reduction can be achieved with the help of super fine HEPA H14 filters. Because Euromate did not yet have a product for large indoor areas in its portfolio, Helder-id was approached with the request to develop a new mobile air cleaner meeting the strictest new guidelines, with an attractive look to fit into a variety of interiors.

Due to the rapidly worsening corona crisis, a fast market introduction was of crucial importance for Euromate. In close collaboration with the Euromate product development team, Helder-id was able to develop the new product from an idea sketch to a production-ready design with a lead time of just a couple of months.
Development
Because the product is mainly intended for use in quiet locations, noise reduction formed an important point of attention. HEPA 14 filters cause a greater pressure drop than normal air filters, which means a larger motor is required to circulate the air at a certain flow rate. By applying smart technical provisions, the team was able to limit the engine noise.
Appearance
The appearance of the product is also an important driver for purchase. Helder-id came up with a friendly-looking mobile product that fits in a variety of interiors. By covering the product with sound-absorbing felt made from recycled PET bottles, the product has a homely appearance, despite its dimensions. The felt is available in a range of attractive colors, so a future option might be to allow the customer to completely adapt the product to the interior.
