AFX-PLT™ Pleated Panel Filters

AFX-PLT™ pleated panel filters from FiltraCore Asia are cost-effective, extended-surface HVAC pleated panel filters engineered for commercial HVAC and general ventilation systems. Designed around standard 1″, 2″, and 4″ pleated panel filter depths, they provide reliable drop-in replacement for existing side-access and front-load housings without retrofit. Activated carbon pleated panel filter variants are also available for applications requiring odour control and gaseous contaminant reduction.

Rated across MERV 8–13 pleated panel filter classes with corresponding ISO 16890 ePM performance (model dependent), AFX-PLT™ pleated panel filters align with mainstream tier-one specifications—supporting portfolio-wide standardisation without over-specifying filtration performance.

Their durable pleated construction ensures stable airflow, predictable pressure drop, and economical service cycles, making these pleated panel filters a dependable choice for offices, retail environments, industrial ventilation, and general HVAC applications.

Technical Specifications
  • Media & construction: Mechanical synthetic pleat (maintained efficiency), electret synthetic pleat (charged media), and activated-carbon composite pleat for light-duty odour/VOC comfort control. Frames in high wet-strength beverage board (standard) or galvanised-steel U-channel (heavy duty). Pleat support as self-supported (no wire) or expanded-metal/wire-backed per model
  • Efficiency grades (particulate): MERV 8–13 (ASHRAE 52.2) with corresponding ISO 16890 ePM10 / ePM2.5 / ePM1 classes by model. (No one-to-one mapping between MERV and ISO 16890.)
  • Depths & rating points: 25 / 50 / 95 mm standard depths. Typical rating velocities used by tier-one pleats: ≈1.8 m/s (25 mm) and ≈2.5 m/s (50 / 95 mm)
  • Initial pressure drop (clean, representative): At the rating velocity for full-size 592 × 592 mm panels (model-dependent): — 25 mm, MERV 8 @ ≈1.8 m/s: ~55–65 Pa — 50 mm, MERV 8 @ ≈2.5 m/s: ~75–85 Pa — 50 mm, MERV 13 @ ≈2.5 m/s: ~90–100 Pa — 95 mm, MERV 8 @ ≈2.5 m/s: ~65–75 Pa — 95 mm, MERV 13 @ ≈2.5 m/s: ~70–85 Pa — Activated-carbon pleats (same depth/velocity): typically +15–25 Pa vs particulate-only equivalents
  • Final resistance / change-out: 250 Pa (reference value). Project set-points may differ by energy policy and downstream protection
  • Operating temperature: Up to ~80–100 °C, dependent on frame/adhesive and media construction (model-specific)
Applications
  • Commercial offices, retail & hospitality: supply/return prefiltration to reduce dust load, extend coil cleanliness, and support IAQ programmes
  • Healthcare & pharmaceuticals: AHU intakes and prefilters upstream of pocket/bag/HEPA modules; select MERV 11–13 per facility risk assessment
  • Education & public buildings: classrooms, campuses, libraries, arenas, and civic facilities with high occupant turnover
  • Data centres & telecom: make-up/return air
    prefiltration to stabilise ΔP across fine stages and support uptime
  • Food & beverage HVAC (non-product contact, dry zones): make-up/recirculation air in packaging and utilities; compliance documentation available on request
  • Light industrial & warehousing: general ventilation prefiltration; choose MERV grade to match dust profile and change-out policy
  • Kitchens & odour-sensitive areas (make-up/recirculation): AFX-PLT-AC™ for comfort odour/VOC reduction; not a substitute for grease filtration or dedicated molecular systems
  • Paint facilities (make-up air): intake prefiltration only; not for overspray arrest (use dedicated arrestor media)
  • Cleanroom & electronics prefiltration: upstream of pocket/fine/HEPA stages; coordinate MERV/ISO grade with the design basis.
