THE WORLD LEADER IN CLEAN AIR SOLUTIONS HEPA FILTERS The AstroCel III High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter is designed to meet the demanding airflow and efficiency requirements of the most critical applications. • Ideal for demanding operating conditions in critical applications • Longer service life — 436 square feet of media — means fewer changeouts • Low energy consumption and lower operating costs • High capacity operation with minimal resistance to airflow; 2400 CFM rated airflow at 1 in. w.g. • Chemical-resistant anodized aluminum frame provides superior strength • Gasket seal and gel seal designs available Gel Seal Frame Extractor Clips AstroCel III filters are designed for installation into high integrity filter holding frames, side access housings, and bag in/bag out systems including one piece urethane. Multiple gasket seal filters are available, as well as gel seal filters for frames and systems designed with knife-edge seal framing. Extractor clips are offered for side access systems requiring gel seal frames. ® Longer Service Life and Lower Energy Consumption Gasket Seal Frame Multiple mini-pleat media packs, Gel Seal assembled into a series of Frame V-banks, permit substantially more media to be contained in the filter — double the media typically found in most HEPA filters. Maximum effective media area provides greater airflow capacity, low resistance, high dust holding capacity, and unusually long service life. The V-bank configuration provides greater airflow capacity and longer service life, while lowering operating costs. Typical Applications AstroCel III HEPA filters are ideal for applications operating with higher airflows, up to 600 FPM, and requiring ultra low pressure drop: • Semiconductor and electronics manufacturing • Pharmaceutical processing • Photo film manufacturing/processing • Hospitals, laboratories, and optical facilities • Food processing Designed for High Performance Media Configuration Reduces Operating Costs AstroCel III filter media is made from sub-micron glass fibers formed into a high density paper. Glass filament separators are used to form the media into mini-pleat panels that withstand high velocity airflow. The V-bank configuration optimizes media performance for high airflow at very low resistance. Mini-pleat packs are sealed to the frame with two-component polyurethane to increase rigidity and prevent bypass leakage. Construction Extruded aluminum frame components resist chemical corrosion, provide high strength, and are lighter. Cell sides are made from a single extrusion to maximize construction integrity. Gasket seal frame is also available with galvanized sheet metal cell sides.
