Panel & Pleated Filters

About Panel & Pleated Filters

Panel & Pleated Filters are flat or pleated air filters designed for use in air handling units, HVAC systems, and general ventilation applications. Compared with simple panel filters, pleated filters offer a larger effective surface area, resulting in improved dust holding capacity and longer service life.

These filters are commonly used as pre-filters or intermediate filters, protecting downstream fine filters and HVAC components from excessive dust loading.

Key Features

• Efficient particulate removal
  Suitable for capturing coarse and fine particles such as dust, pollen, and airborne fibers.

• Low to moderate pressure drop
  Designed to maintain stable airflow while minimizing energy consumption.

• Extended service life
  Pleated media structure increases surface area and dust holding capacity.

• Flexible media and frame options
  Available with synthetic or fiberglass media, and cardboard, galvanized steel, or aluminum frames.

• Wide range of filtration classes
  Compatible with ISO 16890 classifications, from ISO Coarse to ISO ePM grades.

Typical Applications

• Commercial HVAC systems
  Offices, shopping malls, hotels, and public buildings.

• Industrial ventilation systems
  Factories, workshops, and production facilities.

• Air handling units (AHUs)
  Used as intake or pre-filtration stages.

• Building air intake systems
  Protecting downstream filters and HVAC equipment.

• Multi-stage filtration systems
  Installed before pocket filters, V-bank filters, or HEPA filters.

Panel vs Pleated Filters – How to Choose

Panel filters are typically used where airflow resistance must be kept very low and contamination levels are moderate.
Pleated filters are preferred when longer service life and higher dust holding capacity are required without increasing installation depth.

Selection should be based on:

• Required filtration efficiency

• Available installation space

• Airflow rate and pressure drop limits

• Environmental dust load

Why Choose Panel & Pleated Filters

Panel & Pleated Filters provide a cost-effective and versatile filtration solution for a wide range of HVAC and ventilation applications.

Their simple design, reliable performance, and compatibility with ISO 16890 standards make them a practical choice for both new installations and system upgrades.
