PRODUCT BULLETIN Deep Pleat Cartridges with MikroBossTM Technology New media technology provides significantly improved filter performance. Features/Benefits • Increased filter area lowers pressure drop, reduces cleaning frequency, increases capacity, and/or improves filter life Menardi’s new Deep Pleat Cartridges increase effective filter area significantly over conventional pleated synthetic media. Deeper pleats are allowable thanks to our patented MikroBossTM media which prevents collapsing of pleats under operating pressure. This unique design uses staggered clean side dimpling which, unlike other dimpling patterns, provides unrestricted air flow and pulse cleaning at the extreme ends of the pleat . • The media is more durable for longer life than non-synthetic media MikroBoss is available in spunbond and spunlaid polyester and polypropylene, as well as PTFE membrane, Nomex®, and antistatic (aluminized) media. • Surface loading media provides superior pulse cleaning • 99.9% efficiency for 1.0 micron particles and above • Media can be laminated to PTFE membrane for maximum filtration efficiency • Dimples are formed with a heated die and staged cooling to set the shape permanently • Dimples are staggered to allow pulse cleaning to the extreme ends of the pleat MikroBoss media allows a significant increase in effective filter area. Antistatic spunbond polyester media shown. Deep Pleat with MikroBoss Media Conventional Dirty Side Operating pressure collapses outer pleat ends, reducing effective filter area. Filter media shown white Clean Side Pleat ends cannot collapse due to patented embossing technology (embossed areas shown ghosted). This allows deeper pleats and significantly increased effective filter area. This illustration represents the media at full size, with conventional 1.25” pleats, and Deep Pleat 1.94” pleats, increasing filter area by 55%.
