Celrith's ULPA grade dust filter box is a high-efficiency filtration component designed to remove PM0.3 particles at ≥99.999% efficiency while also adsorbing VOCs and odours. It is intended for use in clinical ventilator and anaesthesia circuits, industrial respirators, and high-specification air purification or oxygen generation equipment. By capturing fine particles and gaseous contaminants before they reach sensitive components, it helps protect both patients and equipment from harmful exposure.
In clinical and industrial settings, airborne contaminants are not just a comfort issue—they are a direct threat to equipment performance and user safety. Particles in the PM0.3 range can penetrate standard filters and accumulate inside ventilator circuits, anaesthesia machines, and respirator valves, leading to drift in sensors, increased resistance to airflow, and potential failure of critical components. Alongside particulate matter, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odours from disinfectants, anaesthetic gases, or industrial processes can be drawn into the air path, causing irritation or interfering with sensitive measurements.
Waterborne impurities are another concern in humidified breathing circuits or oxygen generation systems, where condensation can carry dissolved salts and biological matter into the filter media. Over time, these contaminants reduce filtration efficiency and shorten the service life of the filter box. The challenge is to capture both solid and gaseous contaminants without imposing excessive load on the system's fan or compressor.
When contaminants are not effectively removed, the consequences ripple through the entire system. In ventilators, particle build-up on flow sensors and valves can cause inaccurate tidal volume delivery, triggering alarms and requiring recalibration or replacement of expensive components. In industrial respirators, clogged filters increase breathing resistance, causing fatigue and reducing wearer compliance. For air purification and oxygen generation equipment, VOC breakthrough can saturate adsorbent beds prematurely, leading to frequent media replacement and downtime.
Moreover, the load on the system is not only physical but also economic. Higher filter change-out frequency, increased maintenance hours, and the risk of unscheduled downtime all contribute to higher total cost of ownership. Selecting a filter that balances high efficiency with low pressure drop is essential to relieve this load. The Celrith dust filter box is engineered to address these challenges by combining ULPA-grade particulate filtration with effective gas-phase adsorption in a single, customisable unit.
The Celrith dust filter box uses a composite media construction: a high-precision PTFE microporous membrane, advanced glass fibre, and activated carbon adsorption material. The PTFE membrane provides a physical barrier that captures particles down to PM0.3 with an efficiency of ≥99.999%, while the activated carbon layer adsorbs VOCs and odours. This dual-action design means one filter box addresses both particulate and gaseous contaminants, simplifying inventory and reducing the number of components in the breathing circuit.
The filter box is available in multiple ULPA grades, including U15 and higher, allowing you to match the filtration level to the specific requirements of your application. For equipment manufacturers, Celrith offers full customisation based on your drawings: we can mould the housing in medical-grade ABS or PC, and we use medical silicone gaskets with ultrasonic welding to ensure a leak-tight seal. This flexibility ensures that the filter box integrates seamlessly with your existing device design, whether you need a specific connector type, dimensions, or mounting configuration.
Every filter box is manufactured under GMP for medical devices, and our quality management system is certified to IATF 16949, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. Our CNAS-accredited laboratory validates filtration efficiency, pressure drop, and other performance parameters, so you can be confident in the consistency and reliability of each unit.

The Celrith ULPA dust filter box is used across a range of critical applications. In clinical environments, it is a key component in ventilator and anaesthesia breathing circuits, where it protects patients from airborne pathogens and protects sensitive flow sensors from contamination. Industrial hygienists specify it for powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) and supplied-air systems where both particles and VOCs are present. Manufacturers of high-efficiency air purifiers and oxygen concentrators rely on it to meet stringent outlet cleanliness requirements.
Because the filter box can be customised to match specific device interfaces, it is also chosen by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) who need a reliable filtration solution that integrates with their existing housing and pneumatic connections. Whether you are building respiratory therapy devices, industrial safety equipment, or specialty air handling systems, Celrith can tailor the filter media, housing, and connectors to your exact specifications.
