What makes the Mikro-Pleat pleated filter versatile is its special filter media and pleat construction. Unlike the felt of a pulse jet bag or the paper media of a cartridge, Mikro-Pleat pleated filters are constructed of a special spunbond nonwoven filter media. This media is very strong and its density promotes surface filtration of dust and easy release of the collected particulate. Because of its strength and durability, this media can be formed into wide pleats, which operate at higher air to cloth ratios without plugging. Pressure drops are drastically lowered and users are...

The Mikro-Pleat pleated filters are more resistant to temperature, moisture and abrasion that other filter cartridges. In fact, they are even washable, allowing complete cleaning of the filters to avoid collected product contamination. Typical applications where the > pleated filters are used include: > Foundries Paint and Pigments Chemicals Pharmaceuticals Cement Toners Menardi offers a full range of cartridges for virtually all sizes and makes of cartridge collectors. We can supply top removal, horizontal, cam-lock and traditional bottom load filter cartridges. We provide various pleat...

The spunbond polyester that is used in the construction of Mikro-Pleat pleated filters offers many unique advantages over typical filtration needled felts. The spunbond media has a tight pore structure and rigid physical properties. This media is very strong and its density promotes surface filtration of dust and easy release of the collected particulate. Because of its strength and durability, this media can be formed into wide pleats which can operate at higher air to cloth ratios without plugging. Pressure drops are drastically lowered and users are experiencing extended filter life and...

Slitting / Winding. The bonded fabric encounters a slitting section where the two edges are trimmed to eliminate the non-uniform, rough edge created during the manufacturing step. In some operations, the fabric may also be further slit into precise, smaller widths to provide finished rolls of precise dimension. Following slitting, the fabric is wound onto a larger roll, either a full width roll or a series of narrow slit rolls. From this point, the fabric rolls are ready for wrapping and shipping. Bonding. The continuous filament web is delivered to a bonding section, where one of several...

Menardis Mikro-Pleat Pleated Filters can vastly improve the performance of your pulse jet baghouse with no baghouse alterations. Mikro-Pleat pleated filters provide a simple retrofit for upgrading existing dust collection systems and improving problem systems. > The Mikro-Pleat pleated filter is a one-piece element of spun bond polyester media. Because spun bond material is pleatable, we can get 200 Җ 300% more filter media into a pleated filter that is the same size, or usually smaller than the conventional filter bag it replaces. This dramatically reduces your air-to-cloth ratio,...

Mikro-Pleat pleated filters are used successfully in the following applications: Current dust collector systems using polyester material. Current collectors that are undersized, requiring additional cloth area. Current collector systems using materials other than polyester operating at 250 F or below. Current dust collector systems requiring more efficient media. Hydrolysis or moisture problems with current standard felts. > Mikro-Pleat pleated filters are available in a variety of sizes and configurations to suit any requirement. The following are just a few examples of what we can do:...

22-920 Plain Spunbond Polyester Excellent media for standard application. Gives good performance on many different dusts. High strength ٖ gives long life and will support an open pleat. High abrasion resistance. Good dust release properties. Generally, all types of dust with medium to large particle size which are not sticky. 22-921 Aluminized Aluminized coating applied to plain spunbond polyester. Antistatic properties allow any static charge to be earthed giving improved dust release and reducing the risk of explosion. Coating improves filtration efficiency slightly and gives better cake...

22-923 PTFE Membrane Expanded PTFE membrane applied to one side of plain spunbond polyester Provides slick filtration surface so that the release of sticky dusts is greatly enhanced. Reduces the pore size of the filtration surface, giving higher efficiency. Generally used with dusts where particle size is uniform and very small. 23-920 Polypropylene For use in low temperature applications where a chemical environment is present. 175F continuous / 200ں maximum 22-926 Homopolymer Acrylic For use in similar applications as polypropylene, but with higher temperature requirements. 250F...

Mikro-Pleat The Mikro-Pleat Molded Top filters can increase the performance of most collector designs by providing an expanded collection surface area without making the collector bigger. In many instances a pleated filter is a one-piece element. It can be secured with a clamp onto any nominal 4.625" or 5.75ٔ diameter venturi or bag cup. Mikro-Pleat filter can provide twice the cloth area of a conventional filter bag and create dramatic increases in flow capacity! Also, due to the shallow pleat depth the Mikro-Pleat filter cleans more efficiently than an ordinary cartridge filter. Standard...
