Air Filter Holding Frames

01/29/2007 4:39 PM

I am looking for an air filter holding frame. I believe they were called "Zip Lock" filters. The holding frame cross section was shaped like a "Vee" and it was make of plastic, possibly lexan. You used a wide about a ¼-inch wheel "pizza cutter" to insert blanket filter media into the frame. The filter media could be standard blanket filter to a two (2)-ply media with a tacifier on the leaving side of the filter.

The holding frames could be configured into flat or vee shaped with a filter media width of approximately 40 inches, between frames. The filter media was held in to place by the "Vee" shaped holding frames on the four (4) edges and about a 12-gauge aluminum wire "laced" between the holding frames to support the media.

If the holding frames were properly installed and caulked into place, this filter system eliminated almost all bypass around the filters. They were used extensively for telephone equipment room AHU's.

Dear Solfire,

We have made several soulution to a lot of air filteration systems in our plant. Some of them were designed and invented by our mechanical engineer and the rsults were brilliant.

We had several cases where the air was leeking or bypassing the filteration system due to the wrong fitting and frame holding design.

I would appericate if you could send a photo of the filters so we can help.

Regards

See attached link for picture of the "Vee-Cell" filter frame you have described: http://www.industrialairinc.com/prod_filtration.html#housing

Several companies make the strip of material that holds various filter media. Industrial Air, the company whose web site is referenced above, takes these strips and fabricates complete "Vee-Cell" (their trademark) filter assemblies. The strips used to be made of galvanized steel, but are more common today in vinyl or PVC.
