Pocket Filters
The most frequently used filtering element in ventilation systems
Filter pockets 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).
Standards
Pocket filters are manufactured to standards:
ISO 16890
PN EN 779:2012
Fire rating:
F1 wg DIN 53438
Standard dimensions
Frame sizes in pocket filters are fully standardized. The most popular are:
- 592 x 592 mm
- 490 x 592 mm
- 287 x 592 mm
- 287 x 287 mm
Frame thickness:
- 20 mm, 25 mm
Pocket length:
- 200 mm, 300 mm, 360 mm, 500 mm, 600 mm
BWF Envirotec produces non-standard dimensions upon request or according to a sent format.
Materials
The arrangement of polyester or polypropylene fibres with a progressive structure guarantees a minimum ratio between filter efficiency and resistance.
Construction
Pocket filters in metal frame
A filter frame made of galvanised sheet steel guarantees long-term corrosion resistance. Filtering pockets stitched with industrial sewing machines ensure a long-term bond. 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 a proper sealing.
Pocket filters in plastic frames
The 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 of them 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.
