Product Overview

PowerGuard™ extended surface, pleated air filters with Airguard® technology are specially manufactured for system applications requiring improved medium-efficiency and non-shedding filtration media. The filters perform to MERV 11 based on ASHRAE Test Standard 52.2-2012 and are ideally suited for single filter applications or as improved pre-filter substitutes for disposables, permanent metal filters or media pad/frame filters. Common industry applications include pre-filtration for hospitals and general health care facilities, as well as food processing, pharmaceutical, and semi-conductor manufacturing plants.

The filters outperform similar products with respect to both initial and average efficiency. All PowerGuard? pleated filters utilize synthetic media made up of continuous hydrophobic fibers that can withstand turbulent, high-velocity conditions. Due to the continuous fiber structure and dual-stage electrostatic enhancement, the media can capture a higher amount of small particles than conventional glass substitutes. Contaminant capture is further enhanced by the unique aerodynamic, wedge-shaped pleats.

The filters have a heavy-duty structure that features two-piece, high wet-strength beverage board frame with integral corner flaps, which help to prevent racking, warping or leaking under normal operating conditions. To ensure that dirt-laden air does not bypass into the air handling system, the media pack is securely bonded to the periphery of the frame with solvent-free, water-based glue. Each PowerGuard? filter is manufactured using sophisticated production control techniques to ensure consistent pleat count, height, shape, and spacing, which contributes to lower pressure drop, full-depth dust-loading, and longer service life.
