Available in MERV 15 or MERV 13, AIRGUARD® V-FORCE® filters are the best performing 2V filters on the market. Designed and manufactured to outperform other rigid cell filters, V-FORCE is an exceptional replacement for traditional rigid and cartridge filters. With its combination of low pressure drop, high dust holding capacity, and competitive price, the V-FORCE is a logical technological upgrade.

100% Synthetic Media

V-FORCE filters use 100% synthetic media, giving it the distinct advantage of being much more durable than glass media, as it resists tearing and abrasion during shipping, handling, and installation. Additionally, the synthetic media is moisture and chemical resistant, preventing mold growth and corrosion in highly humid and corrosive environments.

All Plastic Construction – No Metal Components

Constructed with high-strength, high-impact polystyrene sides (HIPS), V-FORCE filters contain no metal components, meaning no risk of rust or corrosion. The all plastic components with the synthetic media make V-FORCE filters fully incinerable, a beneficial option for disposal as landfill restrictions continue to grow.

Additionally, the all plastic frame makes the V-FORCE filter lighter in weight when compared to its metal-containing alternatives, which equals lower shipping costs and makes manual transportation and installation safer, easier, and faster.

Mini-Pleat Media Packs Made with Glue Bead Separators

The media is pleated into mini packs using continuous glue bead separators. This creates a high ratio of media area to filter face area for low resistance, high dust holding capacity, and long service life.

The glue bead separators bond the pleats into a highly rigid pack that maintains uniform spacing in all types of operating conditions. The pleats hold their shape and do not deform or collapse as the dust load builds and resistance rises. Uniform pleat spacing allows dust to load evenly over every square inch of filter surface area. The media is fully utilized with no blocking off.

Rigid Cell Design

The V-FORCE’s rigid cell design, mini-pleat packs, durable all plastic frame and synthetic media provide the structural integrity to thrive in the most demanding installations, including variable airflow volume, high airflow, turbulence, repeated fan shutdowns, and high moisture and corrosive environments. All these qualities make it an ideal upgrade for other rigid style filters – those with corrugated separators and supported media. The V-FORCE provides better performance at a better price.

Performance

The V-FORCE possesses industry-leading low pressure drop and high dust-holding capacity for 2V filters. The media is manufactured into four mini-pleat media packs specifically angled to direct air flow through the packs and out the back side. This design provides a wide-open entrance that allows the air to flow through the filter with minimal resistance while maintaining high efficiency. Ultimately, the dynamically shaped air flow pattern achieves minimum pressure drop and maximizes energy savings.
