Explore Our Signature Projects To Uncover The Range of Industries Our Products Can Support
AJ Manufacturing is known for extending our reach beyond what originally seemed possible. Prior to 1974, our manufacturing company distinguished itself as the leading builder of residential and light commercial sheet metal. However, more opportunity was in store for our founders, and we shifted our focus to metal fabrication. Soon, we were considered an industry leader for stainless steel air distribution products.
Our tireless efforts have led us to where we are today, further honing our skills to offer state-of-the-art commercial air distribution systems, including structural ceiling systems and high-performing fan filter units with ULPA and HEPA air filtration.
Our expertise now allows us to meet standards for a wide range of industries. Our depth of experience is best illustrated by three specific projects in our portfolio:
Each of these projects represent our unique capabilities and strategic solutions for facilities across multiple industries.
Our Air Distribution Work for The University of Kansas Hospital (KU Med)
The KU Med Cancer Center is a critical environment where patient safety is of the utmost concern. Patients who receive treatment on this specialized floor are immunocompromised due to their treatment regimens. Although the hospital’s innovative and aggressive treatments, such as chemotherapy, are profoundly beneficial for patients with cancer, these approaches also increase the risk of hospital-acquired infections.
To mitigate infection risk and provide highly filtered air for patients on this floor, we delivered key air distribution products: SSLF Series Laminar Flow ceiling diffusers. Known for their value for healthcare facilities that want to improve infection prevention methods, now protect KU Med Cancer Center with HEPA air filtration.
Our ceiling diffusers offer the following features:
- Non-aspirating
- Low velocity
- Laminar flow technology
- #4 satin polish finish
- Earthquake hanger tabs
- And many more.
Here’s how our ceiling diffusers can work for you:
- Variety: We build 15 types of diffusers, depending on your building’s particular airflow needs.
- Versatility: Our diffusers are a key support for many industries including industrial manufacturing, data centers, educational settings, commercial and office spaces, and more.
- Standard specs: They feature versatile ductwork connectivity, an easy-to-clean design, and stainless steel construction.
- Customizations: Our ceiling diffusers are also customizable, including tunable LED lighting, 316 stainless steel or aluminum construction, and more.
Boeing Trusts Our Air Distribution Expertise
The Boeing S50 building in El Segundo, California, requires cleanroom technology for its mission-critical processes in the aerospace industry. To ensure Boeing meets its ventilation and indoor air quality requirements, AJ Manufacturing installed one of our flagship air commercial distribution systems: ceiling-mounted Criti-Clean™ Ultra fan filter units.
This line of fan filter units (FFUs) meets several critical environment regulations for a variety of industries, including aerospace. Delivering ULPA or HEPA air filtration, our Criti-Clean™ Ultra FFUs offer the following features:
- Leak tested prior to shipping
- Static pressure ports
- Energy efficient
- UV-C radiation and ionization modules
- Indicator lamps
- LED lighting
- And more.
Here’s how our FFUs can work for you:
- Variety: Our three Criti-Clean™ Ultra fan filter unit options provide flexibility based on room-size or specific processes your environment undertakes.
- Versatility: FFUs are used in a wide range of industries, including industrial manufacturing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, healthcare, electronics, laboratory and research environments, agriculture, and more.
- Customizations: Our Criti-Clean™ Ultra fan filter units are also customizable. You can purchase these air distribution products as air supply, reverse-flow units, and portable FFUs, and add on an antimicrobial finish and filter monitoring, among other customizations.
Canada’s First Smart Hospital Embraced Our Air Distribution Systems and Products
A smart hospital provides communication and gathers data across devices and systems to provide care, anticipate needs, and inform future strategies and approaches. To contribute to the comprehensive and innovative care patients will receive at Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital, AJ Manufacturing designed and built commercial air distribution systems and products that will benefit patients for years to come.
We outfitted this state-of-the-art hospital with:
- Operating room ceiling systems.
- Laminar flow diffusers.
- Filter grilles.
- HEPA air filtration diffusers.
Our ceiling systems harness the technology of both our Criti-Clean™ Ultra FFUs and our laminar flow diffusers. Our structural ceiling system, the SS-CARES, includes ample space for diffusers or FFUs in customizable configurations, alongside lights and other mounted operating room equipment.
This project’s inclusion of filter grilles demonstrates another offering from AJ Manufacturing. No matter how much we’ve grown as leaders for the critical environment market, we still continue to provide air distribution basics, including exceptionally well-designed return and supply grilles.
Here’s how our ceiling systems, diffusers, and additional HVAC products can work for you:
- Customizations: Our structural and non-structural ceiling systems are customizable based on your specific needs.
- Responsive: Our structural ceiling systems and non-structural ceiling grids were designed based on the practical needs of medical professionals and offer intuitive features, like a low plenum and equipment mounting.
- Variety: Our wide range of air distribution products, including grilles, louvers, dampers, and more are useful in a variety of environments.
- Practicality: Return and supply grilles are required for any commercial HVAC building.
We’re Expanding Our Air Distribution Partnerships
Although our key air distribution systems and products support a variety of industries and environments, we continue to look toward the future to serve an even broader audience, while remaining highly effective for our established partnerships.
Recently, we built a dedicated facility for our ceiling systems. Following this achievement, we now offer front-end-to-back-end turnkey solutions for these systems to ensure their seamless coordination and installation.
Versatility has no endpoint. Our expertise with cleanroom and custom HVAC technology continues to expand. With each year that passes, we find ourselves building new relationships with facilities whose needs may have once seemed outside our scope. However, our commercial air distribution system technology continues to evolve, allowing us to innovate, adapt, and serve even more effectively.
