Camfil Air Pollution Control has published an analysis explaining why dust collector replacement filters manufactured with OmniPleat® technology deliver longer service life and better performance than conventional pleated cartridges. The blog examines how OmniPleat's proprietary pleat design keeps media fully exposed to airflow, resulting in 30% longer filter life, lower pressure drop, and improved pulse cleaning efficiency compared to standard filters.

Why it matters

Dust collector filters are a critical component in industrial facilities, helping maintain air quality and worker safety. Camfil's OmniPleat technology aims to provide a more effective and energy-efficient filtration solution that can reduce operating costs and maintenance downtime.

The details

OmniPleat technology uses custom-shaped glue beads applied to both sides of the filter media, keeping pleats wide open, evenly spaced, and fully exposed to the airstream. This ensures complete media utilization, unlike standard filters where portions of the media remain shielded. Filters with OmniPleat last 30% longer, maintain lower pressure drop to reduce energy demand, and allow for more effective pulse cleaning to extend service intervals.

  • Camfil APC introduced the original HemiPleat® technology in 2002 to address issues with tightly packed pleats.
  • The new OmniPleat design refined the HemiPleat approach with custom-shaped glue beads and improved manufacturing.
