Pleated Filters

BCE pleated filters are available in a variety of media to suit your process. The following selection guide lists commonly available pleated filter media.

Spun-bond Polyester

  • Highly efficient medium, good for most applications
  • Good cake release
  • High resistance to abrasion
  • Maximum temperature of 275°F

Special Finishes Available:

  • Aluminized anti-static surface for full grounding of the element and enhanced dust release. Recommended for use with potentially explosive dusts.
  • Oleophobic finish for moist or sticky or oily dusts.
  • PTFE laminate for extremely high efficiency and filtration of uniform submicron particulates. PTFE also provides a slick surface for enhanced cake release.

Aramid (Nomex)

  • Maximum continuous temperature of 375°F
  • Excellent strength, abrasion resistance and dimensional stability

Polyphenyline Sulfide (Ryton)

  • Maximum continuous temperature of 375°F
  • Superior chemical resistance
  • Available with PTFE laminate

Polypropylene

  • Use in lower temperature applications where chemical environment would degrade polyester
  • Maximum continuous temperature of 175°F

Homopolymer Acrylic

  • Can be used in similar environments as polypropylene
  • Maximum continuous temperature of 250°F
