Pleated
filters come in
many types and options, this section is to help you pick the right
pleated filter for your application.
Capacity
of Pleated Filters?
Pleated filters are generally offered in three capacities as listed
below. We no longer sell the Economy Series due to the lack of airflow
it asued on the system.
- The
Standard Capacity
offers a lower amount media thus lower amount of dust load capacity and
higher restriction for airflow giving you the lowest
service life.
- The High
Capacity
offers a higher amount of media and will deliver the higher
amount of dust load and less airflow restriction giving you the highest
service life.
Economy Capacity: No longer available!
Standard Capacity:
1”
Deep Series Pleat = 1.6 Sq. Ft. = 0.37”WG (92 PA)
2” Deep Series Pleat = 3.2 Sq. Ft. = 0.23”WG (57 PA)
4” Deep Series Pleat = 5.9 Sq. Ft. = 0.22”WG (55 PA)
High Capacity:
1”
Deep Series Pleat = 2.3 Sq. Ft. = 0.31”WG (77 PA)
2” Deep Series Pleat = 4.8 Sq. Ft. = 0.22”WG (55 PA)
4” Deep Series Pleat = 7.2 Sq. Ft. = 0.21”WG (52 PA)
Square
Foot Media Review
Lets say you have 15 each 24x24x2 pleated filters, what advantages
would you have to use High Capacity over the Standard Capacity?
Square Feet Savings
Standard:
15 x 3.2 sqft = 48 sqft of filter media
High: 15 x 4.8 sqft = 72 sqft of filter media
66% more
surface area! Or 7.5 more Standard Filters!
Cost Savings
Standard:
15 x $3.39 = $50.85 per change
High: 15 x $3.72 = $55.80 per change
$4.95 more for 7.5 Standard Filters or $0.66 each
Or 22.5=Standard filters for only $55.80 per change!
It
would have cost you $76.28 to run 22.5 Standard Capacity and you have
no filter track modifications!

- DIE CUT
FRAME
- The
TRI-PLEAT Die Cut Frame is a robust 28-point beverage board frame with
diagonal l supports bonded to the media pack for extra strength and to
maintain proper pleat spacing. The pleat pack is bonded to a two-piece
frame around the entire perimeter edge. Four-inch deep filters also
utilize additional cardboard ‘finger’ supports for
stability. The
TRI-PLEAT Die Cut frame is treated with an Aqua Coat treatment for
added moisture resistance.
- WIRE SUPPORT
- TRI-PLEAT
filters are offered with an expanded metal backing. The Expanded Metal
support backing is designated with an “E” in the
model number and
offers exceptional media support. The expanded metal backing is
impervious to rust, unlike other metal backings. Rust on the downstream
side of the filter can actually add contamination to the air stream.
The metal backing is securely bonded to the media for filter integrity.
