JoesTech Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo) will launch crowdfunding for the latest flagship model of the next-generation air purifier brand "Apolnus," which has surpassed 470 million yen in cumulative sales, the "Apolnus One X." The crowdfunding campaign will begin on June 30, 2026 (Tue) at 12:00 PM on "GREEN FUNDING," a crowdfunding site operated by the CCC Group.
Achieving "sustainable air purification" that eliminates the cost and environmental burden associated with traditional filter replacements through its unique iCSTM technology, which restores performance with just a 3-minute water wash.
Releases industry-leading 150 million/cm3 Hyper-Ions to powerfully tackle pet dander and odors. In the current era of rising prices, it proposes an innovative lifestyle by delivering "breathing as if in a forest" to families and pets while suppressing running costs.

The Era of Air Purifiers Shifts from "Replacement" to "Regeneration"
Traditional air purifiers were stuck in a "disposable" cycle, where performance degradation and high replacement costs occurred every time the filter became clogged, and discarded filters became an environmental burden.
Apolnus One X challenges this "common sense of home appliances." With its uniquely developed iCSTM technology, filters have evolved from disposable items to ones that can be repeatedly used by simply rinsing with water when dirty. This achieves "a combination of economy and high performance," eliminating annual running costs of approximately 20,000 yen and maintaining cleaning performance equivalent to new at all times.
Key Innovative Points
"Magnet-like" Adsorption Power Based on Nobel Prize-Winning Material x Coulomb's Law
The astonishing purification power of the One X is supported by conductive film technology that applies "graphene," a next-generation material that won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010.
Based on "Coulomb's Law," established in 1785, it forms a strong electrostatic adsorption zone inside, attracting fine particles floating in the air like a magnet.
Its precision reaches "0.01μm," far exceeding the 0.3μm target of general HEPA filters. It reliably captures and does not let go of invisible threats such as viruses, PM2.5, and pollen with physical force.
[Billions of Ions for Purification] Industry-Leading "150 Million/cm3" Hyper-Ion
Releases over four times the negative ions of the previous model at 150 million/cm3, suppressing odor molecules and airborne bacteria in the air.
It actively envelops and quickly decomposes and settles "floating odor molecules" such as post-dinner cooking smells, pet-specific odors, and lingering restaurant smells on clothing. It provides a different "deep breath-inducing" breathing experience, making you feel as if you are in a forest after rain the moment you step into the living room.
A Quieter, More Comfortable Life with Pets
One X provides solid evidence for the challenges faced by households with pets, such as "dander that scatters even after cleaning" and "stubborn toilet odors." Data from international testing organizations shows a 98.1% removal rate for airborne pet hair and a 94.7% reduction rate for ammonia odor.
Furthermore, with a quiet design of 24dB, which is quieter than a library, it can operate in bedrooms with pets or babies sensitive to noise without disturbing sleep.
Only 3 Minutes of Maintenance, "0 Yen Regenerating Filter"
Apolnus One X completely eliminates the concept of "filter replacement," which has been the biggest concern with conventional air purifiers. The uniquely developed iCSTM filter can be restored to its original cleaning capacity by simply rinsing with water for about 3 minutes* when dirt is noticed.
This makes the filter cost, which would be approximately 20,000 yen per year for a typical HEPA filter purifier, "permanently 0 yen," offering greater financial benefits the longer it is used. Moreover, by eliminating waste from disposable filters, it enables a sustainable choice that considers the global environment.
*Washing time is an estimate and may vary by individual.
Dual UVC Irradiation System to Eliminate Captured Dirt at the Source
Apolnus's commitment goes beyond simply capturing air pollutants; it thoroughly pursues hygiene. The dual UVC (deep ultraviolet) LEDs installed inside the main unit directly irradiate the fine particles and airborne bacteria that are attracted like magnets by the iCSTM filter and captured.
This "two-stage purification" process thoroughly suppresses the risk of "secondary pollution," such as bacterial growth within the filter or the re-release of accumulated dirt into the room, which are concerns with conventional paper filters. This design, where light reaches even invisible enemies at the moment the air passes through, ensures a safe system that continuously sends clean air into the room.
Anytime, Anywhere. "Visualize" Air Quality & Smart Management with a Dedicated App
The One X is equipped with smart sensors that can instantly detect air pollution. A 4-color indicator light (blue, green, yellow, red) intuitively "visualizes" the invisible air condition in real-time. Anyone can grasp the current air status at a glance.
When set to auto mode, the sensor automatically adjusts to the optimal suction mode the moment it detects air pollution. It maintains the highest purification efficiency without requiring any effort.
Furthermore, the One X, equipped with the latest IoT technology, dramatically improves convenience through its integration with the dedicated app "SmartCasa."
Not only can you check detailed air quality data on your smartphone, but it also supports remote operation from outside the home and voice control with Siri and Google Assistant. Simply saying, "Hey Siri, clean the air," fills your home with clean air without needing to operate your smartphone.
This smart management system, which is not limited by place or time, supports a comfortable lifestyle one step ahead.
