A new “HemiPleat™ HE (High Efficiency)” filter from Farr Air Pollution Control (APC) offers an unsurpassed MERV 15* efficiency rating, coupled with up to twice the service life and half the pressure drop of standard dust collector cartridge filters. Available in filter sizes to fit any cartridge collector, the HemiPleat HE media is ideal for the capture of toxic and other ultra-fine dusts, and for applications where process air is recirculated downstream of the collector for energy savings.
The filter combines the HemiPleat technology with an HE synthetic fine fiber media that yields the industry’s best filtration efficiency of 99.999 percent on 0.5 micron particles and larger. A patent-pending design holds the pleats of the filter open, making virtually all the media surface available for filtration – unlike conventional cartridges, which are packed too tightly to maximize media use. The wide, uniform spacing results in lower pressure drop for more efficient performance. This design allows dust to eject readily from deep within the pleats during pulse cleaning. The cartridge also holds a larger volume of dust before requiring cleaning than filters with more tightly packed media.
