Product overviewPocket filters are produced in a metal or synthetic frame. The number of pockets depends on the technical aspects of ventilation systems. The raw materials used in the production process, filter medium and production technology guarantee proper filtration properties and feature a long service life as desired by customers.
ConstructionPocket filters in metal frameA filter frame made of galvanised sheet steel guarantees long-term corrosion resistance. Filtering pockets stitched with industrial sewing machines ensure a long-term bond. Pockets are mounted in the frame on steel wires glued to the frame with temperature resistant adhesive. Depending on the dimensions, the in-curved edge of the wire ensures proper adherence to the frame and prevents it from slipping off and coming unglued. The sides of pocket packages are stuck to the frame and sealed with technical foam which guarantees proper sealing.
Pocket filters in plastic framesThe filter frame is made from black plastic. Pockets are joined together with a specially designed profile made from plastic using a pneumatic machine or sewing machines. Both methods provide suitable adhesion and fitting in the filter frame. The sides of pocket packages are stuck to the frame and sealed with technical foam, which guarantees proper sealing.
