Tri-Flow Compact filters are a higher-performing alternative to bag, cartridge, and pocket filters, which are typically rated MERV 10-13. They have a small footprint, and an exceptionally large filter surface area: Tri-Flow Compact filters provide 2 to 3 times more filtration compared to similarly dimensioned bag (pocket) filters. An even greater increase in filtration area vs. volume is achieved in comparisons with sleeve-type high-efficiency filters.
Minimizing the size of a filter lowers manufacturing costs, and gives the OEM or end-user valuable flexibility on where to locate the filter. The unique Tri-Flow design provides in-line pulse jet cleaning and maintains an exceptionally low operating pressure drop. Filter efficiencies of 99.999% on 0.5 microns and larger particles (by weight) are typical.
Tri-Flow Compact filters are self-supporting and are manufactured using proprietary filter media tailored to the application. There are 7 filter media, including options for oleophobic, high temperature, and anti-static applications. All media is pleated and continuously bonded for maximum dimensional stability and filtration integrity. A rigid base molding protects the elements; a resilient mounting flange provides a dust seal that prevents bypass.
Tri-Flow elements have a multi-year service life for virtually all industrial applications: compared with a conventional bag or cartridge-type filters, service life is 3 to 5 times longer with zero compromises of filter performance. Filter change-out is fast and tool-free, and, notably, is done from outside the collector, from the clean air plenum side. As a result, it is never necessary to enter the dirty air plenum side for servicing, a feature that eliminates concerns about employee exposure to hazardous dusts.
