A Purge System plays a critical role in maintaining clean, breathable air within a shooting range by continuously cycling and filtering the environment. It works by drawing air from the outside atmosphere, introducing it into the range, filtering out harmful particulates, and then releasing cleaned air back into the environment. This process ensures a healthier and safer shooting experience for both staff and shooters by minimizing exposure to lead particles and other airborne contaminants.
Action Target’s purge systems use a multi-stage filtration approach that includes prefilters, which are changed monthly, and high-efficiency HEPA filters, which are replaced after every 2,400 hours of operation. These rigorous maintenance standards ensure that the system consistently meets OSHA and EPA guidelines for indoor air quality. Designed for durability and efficiency, a well-maintained Purge System not only protects the health of everyone inside the facility but also supports long-term compliance with environmental regulations, giving range owners confidence and peace of mind.
Range air is cleaned from lead dust before being reintroduced to the range or released back into the atmosphere.
Systems adapt to changing environmental conditions to maintain required air speed and pressure conditions.
Downrange air flow keeps the range comfortable by moving particulates away from the shooter’s respiratory zone.
SYSTEM CONTROL
Available digital and analog systems give you control over the ventilation system and provide remote access for service and maintenance.
LAMINAR DIFFUSION
Clean air is introduced into the range behind the shooting line. A radial diffuser ensures the air is evenly distributed.
AIR FLOW
Negative air pressure draws hazardous dust safely away from the shooter toward the bullet trap at a rate of 75 feet per minute, exceeding minimum NIOSH standards. It then enters an advanced filtration system for a final cleaning process.
ANGE EXHAUST FAN
The range exhaust fan (REF) filters contaminated air to keep the area around the range clean, exceeding OSHA, EPA, and NIOSH requirements.
MAKE UP AIR UNIT
The make up air unit (MAU) draws and filters air from the atmosphere and introduces it into the range. Units are available in either heating only or heating and evaporative cooling options.
Action Target purge systems seamlessly integrate with SmartRange Axis. SmartRange Axis provides Intuitive temperature control, real-time filter status, system warnings, alarms, and more. SmartRange Axis simplifies range control by integrating all major range components into one system.
Action Target purge systems provide the best filtration on the market, keeping the inside and outside the shooting range clean and safe. When used properly, our HEPA filters provide 99.97% efficiency and exceed OSHA, EPA, and NIOSH requirements. Recirculating systems can be set up to use a combination of a prefilter, mid-filter, and HEPA filter or a bag filter and HEPA filter.
