Ice Cream Manufacturer Saves Cold Cash by Switching to Camfil

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. What do ice cream manufacturers scream for? Cost reductions. Your favorite might be butter pecan, vanilla, or mint Oreo chunk; the manufacturer’s favorite is lower HVAC costs and electric bills.

A U.S. based ice cream manufacturer, known globally for its full range of ice cream and frozen snacks asked Camfil to help them solve a problem.

• High amounts of outdoor contaminants resulted in a higher than normal pressure drop in their low cost pleated filters.


• Final filters failed prematurely and gained resistance at an unacceptably high rate.

The company was getting positive results with Camfil 30/30© pleated filters and their AeroPac© Rigid Filters, but changing filters added significant costs in material, labor, energy and logistics. Camfil National Accounts worked with the customer and showed that better results and lower costs could be achieved by updating their system to a more advanced, higher performance Camfil product solution.

The ice cream manufacturer understood they needed more effective air filtration but they also needed to control costs. Given their increasing energy costs and growing workload of their maintenance personnel, they required a clean air solution that reduces air filter lifecycle costs and maintenance costs.

Camfil came to the facility to review the situation and come up with suggestions. They recommended,

• Replacing the combination of a 12″ AeroPac box filter and 30/30 pleated filter with a single-stage Hi-Flo© ES bag filter.


• 22″ deep Hi-Flo ES filters would be used whenever possible.


• 12″ deep Hi-Flo ES filters would be used in areas where current housings could not accept 22″ deep bags.

The proposed Camfil solution was installed. After a year of harsh conditions, the new solution provided the customer with substantial improvements.

• Net energy savings were $8,000.


• An additional $8,600 savings came from reduced HVAC replacement filter costs because fewer filter changes were needed.


• Converting from two-stage filtration to a single stage filter reduced waste by 70%.


• Since there were no prefilters to change on the roof, maintenance workers saved time and could work on other projects.


• Camfil’s Hi-Flo ES design resulted in staff carrying four times the amount of product per trip.

If you are in the food and beverage industry and are hungry for an effective, advanced air filtration solution with the lowest total cost of ownership, contact Camfil Air Filters at 888-599-6620. They’ve got the right flavor for you.

Camfil to Sponsor 2015 Series of Key Health Care Summits

Clean air solutions company will also participate in a best practices discussion panel at each of the five high-level events for hospitals and medical facilities

With the health care industry undergoing historic changes, understanding the latest trends — and what the future may hold — is essential. To further that goal, Camfil — the world’s leading provider of air filtration including HVAC replacement filters — is pleased to serve as a platinum sponsor of the 2015 Hospitals & Medical Facilities Summits. This is Camfil’s third consecutive year sponsoring these key industry events.

The series of five summits — taking place across the country during 2015 — will bring hospital and medical facilities executives together to discuss, learn, and share insights on key developments in the industry, and how health care facilities can be operated with greater efficiency — and greater performance.

“These summits are invaluable for understanding what the dramatic changes in the industry mean for health care facilities, and how costs can be saved while patient care is improved,” says Dave Blackwell, Health Care Segment Manager at Camfil USA, Inc. “The industry is changing rapidly, in new and unfamiliar ways. That’s why for Camfil, it is important to sponsor this series. We want to help show hospital executives how savings and performance can go hand in hand — particularly when it comes to clean air solutions.

Today’s hospitals are under increasing pressure both to contain costs and improve patient outcomes. New health care legislation, for example, has created greater transparency on hospital performance and more closely links reimbursements to patient outcomes. Patients can now access data showing how different medical facilities compare on hospital-acquired infections. Meanwhile, treatment required by such infections may not be covered by Medicare. So hospitals have an added incentive to make sure hospital-acquired infections don’t happen.

Keeping hospital air clean — and keeping infections at bay — has long been a priority for Camfil, which leverages a half dozen global research centers to produce a new generation of high performance, energy efficient air filters. Already, customers that have switched to Camfil filters have been able to reduce their HVAC energy costs by 20 percent, their installation costs by 50 percent, and their disposal costs by 70 percent.

“There are two huge benefits to optimizing air filtration,” says Blackwell. “You lower your costs by using less energy, and you improve indoor air quality by doing a better job removing harmful particles. Those are particularly big benefits for hospitals, because they bring improvements both to the bottom line and to patient care.”

As a sponsor of the Hospital & Medical Facilities Summits, Camfil will participate in a discussion panel entitled “Tips, Tricks & Traps to Avoid.” It’s an opportunity, says Blackwell, to share the company’s insight and best practices on optimizing air filtration.

The first 2015 summit, held in February at the University of Colorado’s Anschutz Medical Campus in Denver, drew more than 100 health care professionals. Other summits will be held in Minneapolis (April 2), Boston (May 28), Nashville (June TBA), and New York (September 29).

“Each of these events will feature a high-level look at how hospitals can leverage design, technology, and operational solutions to perform more efficiently — and more effectively,” says Blackwell. “And Camfil will be there every step of the way, helping to get out the word.”
