MatrixAir MaxMount1500 Ducted Inline Smoke Eater — 1,250 CFM

1,250 CFM in a powder-coated 18-gauge steel housing. Installs above a ceiling, below a floor or in a crawl space, with high and low speed.

Triple filtration, not an electrostatic cell

Every MatrixAir unit runs the same three stages: a polyester pre-filter for the coarse load, activated carbon for odor and gas, and MatrixAir's Proprietary High Efficiency (PHE) pleated media, which the manufacturer rates at 90–95% of particles down to 0.3 microns. Nothing to wash: all three stages are disposable, and a one-year supply is in the box.
