SW-SWX |
|
SW and SWX filtration media is either flat
or corrugated wire cloth. SW is made up of all woven aluminum
wire. SWX is made up of face grids of expanded aluminum and
an inner layer of woven aluminum wire. Both are encapsulated
in a one piece aluminum frame secured by an aluminum blind
rivet. |
Applications
The SW and SWX have become an industry standard for durability and efficiency.
This permanent washable filter offers relatively low resistance and high
efficiencies at high velocities. The SW and SWX can be found in electronic
cabinets, forced air heaters, electrostatic air cleaners and many more
applications. This filter has been in use for more than 30 years and
is still an excellent choice for a filter to remove large particles and
stands up to cleaning year after year. |

EXMET |
|
EXMET filtration media consists of layers of
slit and expanded aluminum. Inner layers incorporate aluminum
foil and grids of expanded aluminum which are corrugated
together. Face grids are heavy expanded aluminum. Frame is
miter cornered aluminum channel and secured by an aluminum
blind rivet. |
Application
This type of panel pre-filter is particularly suitable in applications
where frequent servicing and rough handling may occur. Low resistance
and heavy duty construction make the EXMET an excellent roughing filter
where ease of cleaning is necessary. Frequent washings do not affect
the media. EXMET filters are commonly used in air handling units and
ahead of bag filter banks where extended media filters offer too much
pressure drop.
Typical specifications
Filtration media..... inner pad 6 layers of .002 aluminum foil and
2 layers of .014 expanded aluminum corrugated together. |

FOILX |
|
FOILX air filters are composed of aluminum
foil that has been slit and expanded. The filtration media
for this filter consists of either eight layers of flat expanded
foil or six layers of corrugated expanded foil, depending
on frame thickness. The face grids are expanded aluminum.
Frame is a miter cornered aluminum channel secured by an
aluminum blind rivet. |
Applications
The FOILX is excellent as a roughing filter where ease of cleaning is necessary.
This filter is commonly used in electronic equipment, package air conditioning
units, home heating and air conditioning central units and kitchen range
hoods. |

FOAMX |
|
FOAMX filtration media is fully reticulated
polyester-polyurethane filter foam. The face grids are expanded
aluminum. Enclosing the foam and grids is an aluminum miter
cornered frame with an aluminum blind rivet. |
Applications
The FOAMX has a wide variety of uses because of the porosities available
in the foam. The foam can be from 10 to 100 pores per linear inch (PPI).
This dramatically affects the air flow. As the PPI increases, so does
the air resistance. This type of filter is typically used in engine breathers,
oil mist eliminators, muffin fan filters, and on electronic cabinets.
The filter is not only effective but is also aesthetically pleasing with
the black foam and the aluminum frame. These filters can be mounted on
the front of many electronic cabinets as an appealing visual accent in
addition to their functionality.

TECHX |
|
TECHX filtration media is a mixture of polypropylene
and modacrylic fibers. The exchange of electric charge between
these dissimilar materials produces stable electric charges.
This creates a greatly improved filtration media to trap
fine particles. This media, corrugated together with expanded
metal, makes up the inner layers of this filter. The face
grids are made of heavy expanded aluminum held by a one piece
mitered corner aluminum frame held by an aluminum blind rivet. |
Applications
The TECHX filter exhibits excellent efficiencies and low resistance. This
media has been used for respirators, room air purifiers and in the automotive
industry for recirculating filters for cars. This media is capable of
catching particles as small as cigarette smoke. This is a very significant
advancement for indoor air quality. If you have a need for high efficiency
and low resistance, the TECHX is the answer.
TECHX filtration media carries an Underwriters Laboratories 900 Class
2 listing.

POLYX |
|
POLYX air filters are made of progressively
bonded uniform non-woven polyester filtration media, encapsulated
by expanded aluminum face grids in an aluminum miter cornered
frame secured by an aluminum blind rivet. The polyester is
manufactured using advanced technology air laid equipment.
This process produces a media of high quality, uniformity,
and excellent filtration performance. |
Application
POLYX filters are frequently used in electronic cabinets where blowers
are drawing air from the floor level or cabinets which are located in
an office environment. Many are purchased to replace the foil media type
filters electronic cabinets are fitted with by the manufacturers. This
easily cleaned filter is also resistant to most inorganic alkalis, salts,
and acids as well as commonly used organic chemicals. These filters are
also used in air handling units and home forced air furnaces. Examples
of this filter’s uses are not limited to those listed here.

CARBX |
|
CARBX filters have filtration media which is
composed of two parts: a coated non-woven polyester media
which has an inherent captive capillary effect for particles,
and an activated carbon surface area exposure for maximum
adsorption efficiency. The media is encapsulated by expanded
aluminum face grids. The filtration media pad is framed with
an aluminum miter cornered channel secured by an aluminum
blind rivet. |
Application
The CARBX is designed to meet the challenge of improving indoor air quality.
It can be used anywhere fumes and odors are perceived as a nuisance.
These filters are typically used in motels, hotels, airports, doctors’ offices,
office buildings, homes, restaurants, and many other facilities.
