Over the last year, we’ve told you how AJ Manufacturing is helping our customers use valuable ceiling space more efficiently. Our Criti-Clean Fan Powered Laminar Flow HEPA Filter Diffusers with built-in surgical grade lighting (both fluorescent and LED) do the work of two operating room fixtures in one unit. Even better, options for our Laminar Flow Diffusers like 100% shut off dampers and room-side access to filters and pre-filters also substantially increase efficiency when it comes to maintaining these units.
Now we’re proud to offer you an even more convenient, time-saving solution that can mean greater efficiencies for hospital operating rooms: our new heavy-duty Ceiling Grid Systems. That means AJ – the company you know and trust for custom and standard stainless steel air distribution products — can now also be your one-stop source for complete ceiling systems for hospital critical environments.

In the last issue of Critical Thinking, we told you how we were keeping up with our increasing customer orders by adding extra work hours in our manufacturing facility – going from a regular 40-hour work week to 50 hours or more, with 10-hour days Monday through Friday, plus Saturdays when needed.
Now we’re happy to say that demand for our products has continued to grow – thanks to customers like many of you reading this today. As a result, we are now planning to add a night shift to our regular daytime production hours in January 2016. Our automated Amada Lasers are already working overnight to help us speed up production times, and now we’re excited to be adding another work shift to help us increase output even more.

AJ Manufacturing has long been an industry leader in custom and standard stainless steel air distribution products for critical environments. So we’re especially proud to announce that now every product ordered with one of our optional powder coat paint finishes will also feature a new anti-microbial treatment at no additional charge.
As you may know, powder coat paint finishes feature tiny dry particles of pigment and resin that are given an electric charge, which are then sprayed onto a product and heated to create a permanently fused, uniform, durable coating. AJ’s powder coat finishes now feature silver ions to prevent the growth of microbes on surfaces, taking advantage of silver’s natural germ-fighting properties.

We recently came across some great news that has positive implications for many of our customers in the HVAC industry. According to a report from the CMD Group, construction starts, excluding residential work, soared 30.3% from April to May 2015. This nearly one-third month-to-month gain was much higher than CMD’s usual April-to-May change, due to seasonality, of 8.0%.

In past issues of Critical Thinking, we’ve told you about ways we’re always striving to make our processes and production methods faster and more efficient.

Since we introduced it last year, our Criti-Clean Fan Powered Laminar Flow HEPA Filter Diffuser with built-in surgical grade lighting has proven to be one of the most popular — and fastest-selling – new products we’ve ever introduced. Why? Because it does the work of two basic operating room fixtures – a laminar flow diffuser and surgical lighting – all in one unit, maximizing valuable ceiling space!

Our customers always have great questions about how our products can meet their needs, and we’re always happy to provide a timely answer. But now that process is a whole lot faster and easier, thanks to the new “Chat Live” function on our website.
During normal business hours, you’ll see two small new boxes at the lower right of your screen: one in orange that says “Chat live with an agent now,” and one in blue that says “Chat?” and indicates whether an AJ representative is online or offline.

In the past, changing just one laminar flow diffuser HEPA filter in a clean room meant shutting down the entire system. Unfortunately, as a result, that also meant going through a painstaking decontamination process that could take up to two or three days to complete once you changed the filter.
Now AJ offers our Laminar Flow HEPA Filter Diffusers with 100% shut off dampers, which can eliminate the considerable time and effort involved in changing filters. This new convenience feature allows you to shut off one unit from the rest of your system, and change the filter without allowing any particulates to enter the room.

Many people love our Criti-Clean Fan Filter Unit because of its industry-leading features and quality construction. But we know that easy day-to-day maintenance also means a lot to our customers. That’s why we’ve redesigned our popular Criti-Clean FFU to offer room-side access to not only its HEPA or ULPA filter, but also to the unit’s pre-filter as well.
The pre-filter in any FFU keeps debris and contaminants from entering the unit from the plenum side. But the pre-filters on the other FFUs on the market today are not accessible from the room side, which makes them extremely difficult and time-consuming to change – if they ever get changed at all.

It’s amazing how many different types of buildings rely on our air distribution products to maintain their indoor air environments. Take shooting ranges, for example. Firearms emit more smoke than you might think, but when you’re one of the country’s leading firearms training facilities – working not just with civilians but with law enforcement professionals and the military as well – cleaning the air quickly and effectively becomes critical to ensure shooter health and comfort.

When Baxter International – a manufacturer of medical devices, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology for the worldwide healthcare market – needed to retrofit production lines at their plants in Mississippi and Puerto Rico, they called upon another industry leader to help them meet their critical environment air distribution needs: AJ!
