Next-gen filtration powers a cleaner, greener future

ClipOn.io redefines industrial filtration with precision-engineered, eco-friendly solutions that meet global standards. Director Mrigank Bothra shares how the company’s technological approach and global partnerships drive cleaner operations and strategic growth, from smart manufacturing and NAFA/ASHRAE-certified filters to carbon capture innovations.

What market growth trends do you envision in the industrial filtration and processing solutions sector?

The industrial filtration market is riding a wave of significant growth, driven by increasing industrial output and ever-tightening global clean air regulations. Across sectors like pharmaceuticals, food processing, or heavy industry, there is an urgent demand for cleaner, more efficient filtration systems. The industry is evolving rapidly, with governments pushing for stricter emission controls and sustainability benchmarks. At ClipOn.io, we are seeing increased adoption of advanced filtration technologies to comply with standards and to support internal operational efficiency, workplace safety, and green manufacturing mandates. The trend is clear: cleaner air is now a fundamental industrial expectation.

Please discuss the role of panel filters and MERV-rated filter bags in capturing airborne particles and preventing contamination in sensitive environments.

MERV-rated filter bags and high-efficiency panel filters are indispensable in today’s cleanroom and sensitive production environments. These filters are the first defense against microscopic contaminants from pharmaceutical labs to operating theaters. MERV ratings act as a globally recognized benchmark, ensuring particulate removal down to the required microns depending on the application. At ClipOn.io, our solutions exceed these standards, enabling consistently sterile and particle-free environments. This safeguards product quality and protects personnel, machinery, and processes from contamination—a critical factor in industries where even minimal exposure to airborne particles can be catastrophic.

Which automation technologies company has invested in the manufacturing of products and solutions?

ClipOn.io has invested in fully automated manufacturing systems where CAD-based designs feed directly into high-precision filter production. These smart systems produce air handling unit (AHU) filters and filter bags with micron-level accuracy, ensuring consistency and reliability across batches. Automation does not just improve speed—it improves quality control at every stage. Our facilities are equipped to adjust for different micron ratings, material compositions, and filter geometries with minimal human intervention.  This accelerates production timelines and helps maintain the exacting standards demanded by our clients in the pharmaceutical, biotech, and heavy industry sectors.

Which filter innovations contributed to the achievements of professional certification from the National Air Filtration Association (NAFA) and ASHRAE?

We have always focused on designing products that meet and exceed the tough industry benchmarks. Achieving NAFA and ASHRAE certifications were made possible by our commitment to filtration systems with efficiency ratings as high as 99.99997%. Our filters align with the ASHRAE 52.2 standard, which evaluates the performance of air-cleaning devices using particle size ranges. These innovations, coupled with rigorous testing and quality assurance protocols, form the bedrock of our credibility. Certification is more than a badge—it reflects our commitment to building trust with clients who require cleanroom-grade filtration, day in and day out.

What unique feature of your eco-friendly filtration technologies distinguishes them from other solutions available in the market?

Our eco-friendly filtration solutions are built with versatility and precision in mind. ClipOn.io filters capture particles ranging from 50 microns down to an ultra-fine 0.1 micron—all under one roof. This spectrum of coverage allows us to serve diverse industries, from food processing to biotech. But what truly sets us apart is our emphasis on sustainable manufacturing practices, including recyclable filter media and energy-efficient production. These filters are powerful and designed to reduce environmental load. By combining performance with eco-consciousness, we are helping industries meet production and sustainability goals without compromise.

How has ClipOn.io’s strategic partnership with Heto Dan of Denmark helped improve its global outreach and market positioning?

Our partnership with Heto Dan has been transformative. As a globally respected filtration brand from Denmark, Heto Dan brings technological expertise and market credibility. This collaboration has allowed ClipOn.io to tap into advanced R&D resources and address challenges that local companies often struggle with, especially those involving multi-contaminant filtration and harsh operating conditions. Strategically, this alliance has boosted our export potential, enhanced our product line, and solidified our presence in Europe and other advanced markets. It is not just a partnership—it is a synergy that has helped us think bigger and deliver better.

How do oleophobic and hydrophobic coatings support industrial air quality improvement, air pollution mitigation, and compliance with emission control standards?

In many industrial environments, air streams often contain a complex mix of oil, moisture, and particulate matter. Oleophobic and hydrophobic coatings play a critical role in repelling these substances, ensuring the filter media does not clog prematurely or degrade under high-moisture conditions. At ClipOn.io, we incorporate these coatings to maintain optimal airflow, reduce maintenance cycles, and improve overall filter longevity. This technology is vital in high-speed processing facilities where humidity and oil residues can wreak havoc. It also helps plants comply with air quality regulations, contributing to operational safety and environmental stewardship.

Given the ongoing infrastructure boom, what strategic initiatives are you implementing to double your business within the next three years?

With the infrastructure sector booming, we are positioning ourselves for aggressive yet sustainable growth. Our strategic roadmap includes expanding manufacturing capabilities, optimising inventory through intelligent ERP systems, and bolstering our QA/QC protocols with SOP-driven checks at every production stage. Additionally, we are investing in regional distribution hubs to shorten delivery times and tailor filtration solutions to meet the demands of large-scale construction, cement, and heavy industrial projects. By combining operational excellence with market responsiveness, ClipOn.io aims to double its business footprint while maintaining the performance standards that have earned us our reputation.

What are your perspectives on carbon capture technologies?

At ClipOn.io, we recognise the cement industry’s significant contribution to global carbon emissions and the urgent need for sustainable and scalable solutions. We have developed specialised carbon capture systems tailored for cement plants. These systems trap CO₂ emissions efficiently and are designed for seamless integration into existing setups. We emphasise preventive maintenance—both time- and condition-based—to ensure long-term performance. Our systems also open up revenue possibilities through captured CO₂ reuse. By aligning environmental responsibility with economic opportunity, ClipOn.io is pioneering a Smarter, greener future for industrial filtration.
