It never ceases to amaze me just how much potential there is out there for saving money.

Three meetings this week took me from the sublime to what some might say is the ridiculous.

A major datacentre called me in to look at the problems they are having with coil contamination. 12 chillers and 9 generators later and it is the largest quotation I have ever done. The problem? Feathers and pollen. The solution - simple. PreVent air intake filter screens on RAB Specialist frames.

A large retail outlet in London called me to recommend filters for the largest Carrier chillers I have ever seen. The problem - tree seeds and pollen. The solution - easy. PreVent air intake filter screens on RAB Specialist frames.

And finally! A coffee store franchise wanted some help. The refrigeration units are small but need regular cleaning with nitrogen gas on an out of hours basis. It causes a mess and costs a lot of money but at least the compressors are not blowing as regularly. Solution - magnetic framed filter screens just like Starbucks in New York. Simple, easy and cost effective. PreVent air intake filter screens on Permatron patented magnetic frames.

Onwards and upwards to a point where coils no longer need cleaning. Permatron PreVent equipment protection and RAB Specialist Engineers.

What Permatron Customers Have To Say

"I just sent off an email to my manager giving him all the info from Permatron so he can get this out to the rest of our After Market Sales people. I told him how happy I am and so are the customers that I been getting your product out to. Thanks for all your help with my end." -- Jim Gosch, CTS Service Sales Manager, Atlas Copco Compressors LLC
"As you know, we offer your R2 magnetic filters as an option on our air compressors. The feedback from our sales people and customers has been very positive. The product is durable and offers a quality alternative to disposable filters. We are very pleased with the quick delivery times. In addition, the product does an excellent job keeping dirt away from the critical components on our compressors. As you probably know, compressors tend to be installed in the worst possible location. Just look for the hottest, dirtiest place in a plant and you will usually find the air compressor. Without the R2 filters our customers would experience greater service costs on their equipment." -- Drew Johnson, Branch Manager, Kaeser Compressors
"I'd like to take a moment to thank-you for your support, your quick replies and your thoroughness throughout 2012. It has been a pleasure working with you and your team and I look forward to doing so again in 2013" -- Melinda May Allaston, Purchasing Manager, Annexair Canada

"I have supported many customer with Permatron PreVent screens to protect cooling towers and air intakes. The BIG STUFF used to get into cooling towers throughout the year, yet not anymore. No more anxiety on those HOT DAY as coils will stay clean with PreVent in place.
It has minimal impact on air flow while looking good to the eye, and a SLAM DUNK preventive maintenance buy for the coolers. With many simple mounting options, magnet, hook & loop and grommet, my customers have found more locations as they are so pleased with their original purchase.
One Hillside customer changed his PREFILTERS every 5 weeks from POLLEN, and Permatron's PreVent has extended the life of his downstream filters. He now changes his prefilters every 6 months. Minimal pressure drop, big performance and simple mount options for an aesthetically eye pleasing solution is a product many Chief Engineers wish to show off. Thank you" -- Mike Goode, Total Filtration Services, San Francisco Bay Area
"The R2 filters I have sold have worked very well. They do as advertised, by keeping the inside of our air compressors clean. No customer complaints after the sale and no problems with the construction of the washable filters. Your delivery times are fast and your customer service agents are a pleasure to work with. I look forward in continuing our business relationship with Permatron in 2013 and thank you for all of the continued support that we receive in making our compressors work better." -- John Jarratt, Parts, Air Compressor Energy Systems, Louisiana

"Thanks for the cleaning info, I love my PreVent filters as they saved me a lot of time on the roof in the extreme heat last summer. I've found a damp terry cloth rag removes the cotton very well. Thanks for the YouTube videos!" -- Julie Osterbauer, Maintenance, I.S.D. 832 Mahtomedi Schools
"The installation of the Permatron PreVent filter has saved us money, reduced downtime, and to date eliminated any possible environmental outages." -- Gary Wilcox, Production Supervisor, Osram-Sylvania
"By using the PreVent filters, we've reduced our seasonal filtration costs by almost 70% and our maintenance and cleaning man-hours are about a third of what they were with the old filtration equipment." -- Angelo Carrieri, Maintenance Superintendent, Water and Sanitation District, Parker, Colorado
"Thanks to Permatron screens maintenance engineers in Utah save tons or time in preventive maintenance. Thank you Permatron!" -- Mike Reidy, CAFS, Roto Aire Sales and Service
"Several of our large commercial buildings in Atlanta have purchased the Prevent filtering product for their cooling towers. The benefits of being able to get through our spring season without much intrusion into the building owners equipment has been successful. The product was easy to install and has been simple for the customers to maintain. We are excited to have this product in our line of filtration options." -- Joey Chapman, Air Filter Sales and Service, Inc.
"I am very pleased to work with Permatron when ordering the Prevent Filter for installations in Wisconsin. From start to finish Permatron is very timely in getting pricing right down to delivery. The finished product is always as accurate as the drawings supplied to have it made. The finished product is also very easy to install, modify if needed, and cleaning is super easy. The fasteners are a great way to have the filter installed if you need to take down the filter to clean it. Otherwise, just turn off the air and either sweep it down or hose it off." -- Sean T. McGlenn, Class 1 Air, Inc.
"As a company who specializes in life cycle costing and energy efficient products in Seattle, we try to use the Prevent system whenever possible. We prefer to install our 4V style final filters without a pleated pre filter to maximize energy savings. This works very well except during our cottonwood season which can load up any filter in a matter of days. The Prevent system gives us the opportunity to remove the cottonwood seeds at a very low pressure drop. Having such a short lead time and being available in any dimension we require makes it an amazing addition to our product line and allows us to set our business apart in a very competitive marketplace." -- Jesse Sheppard, Commercial Filter Sales
"I think that the plastic hail guard that Permatron offers is a great product. Because of the height and length it fits almost any piece of equipment on the market today easily. The ease of installation with your unique clips is great since it can only be correctly installed one way. This product allows contractors to offer hail guard at a reasonable price where quite often the end user wouldn't have any coil protection because of the cost of buying and installing expanded metal or a retro factory hail guard." -- Gil Newberry, Trane Supply
