Compact Pleated Filter Packs Explained

Pleated filter packs arrange the filter media in tightly packed layers rather than as bags or round cartridges. This packs a large filter area into a small volume.

Why it matters

More filter area in less space means a smaller collector for the same airflow. That helps where floor space is limited, where collectors are mounted close to the process, or on bin and silo vents.

Considerations

• Suited to dry, free-flowing dusts
• Pack design and media must match the collector
• Packs are replaced as a single unit
