With over 45 years in the air purification business, AQE has a reputation for manufacturing high quality, durable and competitively priced equipment. And our line of pollution control units is no exception. As you research our PCUs, you’ll find that out electrostatic precipitator technology features a very low static pressure add, very low power consumption and washable, reusable filters. The SMOKEMASTER® F72 and AUTOCLEAN® units are engineered to have a smaller footprint and higher efficiency than competitors, and are also modular and stackable up to 40,000 CFM.

The F61 AUTOCLEAN® features a dynamic wash system that uses a multi-jet wash manifold that both rotates and traverses the electronic collector cells to ensure complete coverage and maximum wash results. Many competitive pollution control units have a fixed wash system that sprays the collector cells with fixed spray nozzles that can’t get adequate coverage into the depths of the collector fins which results in incomplete cleanings, lower operating efficiency and more frequently required cleanings.
Included sequence controller is user-adjustable allowing control over the amount of detergent used, length of shut down, wash and rinse cycles. Complete kitchen exhaust packages for the PCUs are also available that include rooftop skid, outdoor insulated weather enclosure, lifting lugs and all necessary transitions. The F61 AUTOCLEAN® offers impressive restaurant kitchen exhaust performance with a comparably lower price than electrostatic air cleaners offered by the leading competitors.

The SMOKEMASTER® F72 series in-line PCU offers commercial kitchen exhaust functionality with the same high efficiency performance as the F61 AUTOCLEAN® pollution control unit but without the self-wash feature. The SMOKEMASTER® F72 unit is ideal for in-line restaurant exhaust systems that are lighter duty in nature and don’t require frequent cleaning. The SMOKEMASTER® F72 is also offered with rooftop exhaust packages and customizable to meet any size or efficiency requirements. Also available with activated carbon modules for odor filtration.
