Rigid / Compact Bag Filters are available in the higher grades ePM2.5 / ePM1 to ISO16890 (F6, F7, F8 and F9 to the previous EN779).

Rigid Bag Filters do not suffer with under-inflation issues that can affect typical glass or synthetic high performance bag filters in low, or variable airflow scenario. They also offer a high airflow capacity at a low volume making them a good selection for energy efficiencies.

In this photo (below), three Rigid Bag Filters are positioned in a housing offering PM1 Particulate Filtration before Activated Carbon Gas filters.

In this scenario the air face velocity can be as low as 0.5m/s (extended contact times with the carbon), which does not always inflate a heavy media pocket leading to high resistance, and/or turbulent airflows.

By using Rigid Bag Filters, we know that the system will achieve a clear air passage at a known and consistent pressure differential.

Technical Bulletin:

Introducing “MiniCell Panel Filters” as a replacement for “High Performance Pleated Panel Filters”

Date: 16^th August 2022

Airclean do not offer “High Performance Pleated Panel Filters” in grade M6 to F9, we now offer a “MiniCell Panel Filter”.

The old “High Performance Pleated Panel Filters” were manufactured in a style similar to that of a typical G4 Pleated Panel Filter, and could easily be mistaken for a low grade filter.

Historically the “High Performance Pleated Panel Filter” has been available in the UK air filter market at a low cost, but currently (2021 onwards) the materials are close to obsolete to UK manufacturers.

The technical abilities of this style of filter were always been questionable in relation to efficiency and resistance to airflow, and Airclean actually introduced an alternative, to plug the gap, albeit at a higher cost.

We offer a “Minicell Panel Filter” in grade M5 through to F9 grades (ePM10 55% to ePM1 80% to ISO16890), which offers the high grades of filtration in either a 47, or 97mm Panel.

Whilst this filter is considerably more expensive than the now discontinued “high performance pleated panel filters”, we have a solid understanding of the properties (efficiency and pressure drop), and are confident in its performance.

When using filters grade M6 (ePM10 65%) and upwards a pre filter should be used to extend the life of the more expensive secondary filter and ensure a reasonable life.  A Minicell Panel Filter installed with the correct prefiltration would usually out perform the old style High Performance Pleated Panel Filter considerably.

Washable and Reusable Air Filters
– Greener Alternatives –

Looking for more sustainable alternatives to single used disposable filters?

Our greener alternatives are available in our Washable and Reusable Air Filters range. Polyfoam Washable and Metal Washable filters are designed for low to medium efficiency filtration (up to G4 equivalent levels). With long lasting metal frames and mesh fascia, coupled with a strong water resistant metal/polyfoam filter. These filters can allow for years of use with low levels maintenance by rinsing the dirty filters every few months.

Do you still need to utilise Glass Fibre or Synthetic Media?

Try our metal pad holding frames. They allow you to install and replace media cut pads instead of the whole filter. Helping to reduce waste, and removed the need to store valuable space-consuming spares on the premises.
