Münster. Hengst Filtration supports schools in Münster in preventing infectious diseases and has therefore donated 46 replacement filter sets for Mobile air purifiers worth almost 20,000 euros. The handover to the Münster Office for Schools and Further Education and the first schools took place on March 11. The schools can now install the new HEPA filters in their air purifiers and use them again in rooms where there are many pupils and teachers or which are difficult to ventilate.
We are pleased that some schools are interested in continuing to use the air purifiers and that we can play our small part in hopefully reducing the number of children and teachers who fall ill.

Hengst developed the mobile air purifiers during the coronavirus pandemic. However, in order to operate them effectively, it is now necessary to replace the filters. At the instigation of individual schools and a parents' initiative, the city has therefore asked which schools would like to continue operating the air purifiers at their own expense. Following a request for support, Hengst produced and donated the HEPA replacement filters.
