PINCH PLEAT


Pleated Air Filter

Standard & High Capacity

For greater filtration at an economical price, the DP FILTERS PINCH PLEAT combines the filtration characteristics of the Farr Pleat Series with the single frame construction of a monobond throwaway, and is designed for use where any 1" or 1/2" pleated or disposable filter is used. Flexible for installation in tight spaces, and snaps back to original shape.


            Design and Construction

FILTER MEDIA
The filter media used in all filters is a high performance, non-woven, reinforced cotton/synthetic fabric, specially manufactured to meet rigid performance specifications.

Media is available with an ASHRAE 52.1-92 (atmospheric) efficiency of 25-30%*.

MEDIA SUPPORT
The media support is an "expanded diamond" grid with 97% open area. The filter media is bonded to the media support to ensure pleat stability throughout the life of the filter.

PLEAT DESIGN
The filter employs a "radial V" pleat design. This guarantees total usage of filter media, and maximum dust holding capacity. This gives the user a greatly extended service life for cost savings.

ENCLOSING FRAME
The PINCH PLEAT utilizes one piece heavy-duty chipboard frame for additional stability and the elimination of air-bypass with its stitched-stapled assemby.
