Air Filtration

Channel Flow®

The design of this filter occupies 50% of the space of regular filters, meaning an easier installation process in increasingly constricted interiors, yet, with a larger media area, delivers twice the contaminant capacity of traditional filters. The fully enclosed frame prevents air entering through the filter walls and protects the media during installation. The non-metal filter element allows for more environmentally friendly disposal and is fully incinerable. Baldwin's Channel Flow filter has more surface area than a traditional air filter, while requiring the same or less installation space. The Channel Flow media is formed by layering alternating rows of flat sheets and corrugated media. When completed, the media resembles a honeycomb network of channels.

Radial Seal Air Filters

With a heavy-duty urethane radial seal gasket and end cap, Baldwin’s radial seal filters are extremely durable and do not degrade under environmental and application stress while PermaPleat® technology retains the integrity of the filtration media. Its flexible outer edges permit deflection which assists with installation. The primary components of a typical heavy-duty Radial Seal air filter are the seal, moulded ends, inner and outer metal wrappers and the media. The metal wrappers protect the filter media and provide structural strength for the completed filter. With 73% of the surface area of all Baldwin metal wrappers open, minimal air flow restriction is attained. Baldwin Radial Seal air filters are ideal aftermarket replacement.

Extreme Performance Air Filters

Designed for high dust environments, these filters feature ProTura nanofibers bonded to cellulose media, delivering unequalled performance, particularly at the submicron level, meaning higher initial efficiency for greater engine protection and life and greater capacity for extended replacement intervals. ProTura nanofiber air filters feature a lattice-like structure composed of submicron diameter fibers bonded to cellulose media. The result is higher initial contaminant removal efficiency and lower flow restriction. The filter ejects its trapped contaminants: as the contaminants cake the media surface application vibration loosens the matter, which then falls from the media to the bottom of the housing. The contaminants are then removed by the housing dust ejector.

Direct Flow™ Air Filters

Fleetguard® Direct Flow™ provides more performance in less space than competitive air system providers. This is the next generation of air filtration solutions and offers better engine protection and lower maintenance costs within a smaller profile than conventional air filtration systems. With performance sensors in the filter housing, users can evaluate the performance of their air filter system, allowing optimisation of filter life, reduced filter changes and lower overall maintenance costs. Direct Flow™ has proven handling capabilities for large debris and snow that causes premature plugging of the pre-cleaner and filter.

Magnum Radial Seal™ Air Filters

Designed to meet the rugged demands of equipment that operates in the harshest environments, the Magnum RS™ radial seal primary and safety air elements provide REAL™ Value. The Magnum RS™ Radial Seal Air Filter is designed for maximum engine performance in harsh, off-highway applications. Its cellulose media is resin-treated and corrugated for both increased filtration as well as offering precise channels for better air flow. The closed-end urethane design reduces the possibility of moisture-related rust. Magnum RS™ offers unique features for longer service life and optimum performance.

NanoForce® Air Filters

NanoForce® Air Filters are designed for heavy duty, diesel powered construction and mining engines, delivering the cleanest combustion air possible for large construction and mining engines. This is achieved via nanofiber pleats that combat dust on a submicron level, delivering 99.99% filtration efficiency, offering three times the protection and twice the service life of conventional air filters. Small particles can quickly bring productivity to a halt. Due to the use of air pre-cleaners, the typical primary air filter is challenged with capturing dust particles in the 0-5 micron size range. NanoForce® nanofibers combat tiny particles at a submicron level, removing and retaining the particles before they reach engine components.

OptiAir™ Air Filters

OptiAir™ systems consist of 7 filter series, covering air flow requirements up to 1100 CFM (31.15 m3/min.). The compact radial seal design, with optimised pleat spacing and depth, offers a 30% more effective media area and a 60% larger filter outlet area increases output flow and lowers restriction. These industrial air filters provide up to 50% greater capacity by increasing the effective media area resulting in extended service intervals, reduced downtime, and lower maintenance costs. These filters increase filter life by up to 50%. The lower air flow filters have rotatable 90-degree outlet and straight outlet options. OptiAir™ elements can handle higher CFM flow rates with lower initial restriction.

Filter Media

Filtration Group offers a large selection of filter media for dust filter cartridges. This ensures that the right solution can be found for virtually any application. Special surface materials with web coating, PTFE membrane or melt blown micro-fibres guarantee a cost-optimised and reliable continuous operation of dedusting systems. For the pharmaceutical and food services industry, FDA-approved materials are available.

Conical Filter Elements

Star-pleated FGI dust filter cartridges are used for the separation of the smallest particles from gases. Dust-laden gas passes through the vertically mounted filter cartridge from the outside to the inside and exits through the top open-end cap. Optimisation efforts regarding flow and strength have led to the conical element shape. The cleaning of the filter cartridges using the extra-quiet FGI multi-jet nozzle works much more effectively than with conventional nozzles. The improved cleaning behaviour compared to cylindrical filter cartridges and the more favourable flow conditions result in up to 30% better performance of dedusting equipment.

Cylindrical Filter Elements

Used for separating dust from air and gases in virtually all branches of industry. The consistently high quality of FGI dust filter cartridges is maintained through regular and comprehensive performance inspections of materials that go into production. Application tests are also conducted at our test benches in the development lab and on-site facilities. Products and production methods can then be improved or redeveloped based on these results.

Cleaning Units

With Filtration Group’s rotating wings and Multi-jet nozzles and optimised cleaning units are available for star-pleated filter cartridges. The special technical details of these components are based on our years of practical experience and elaborate development trials.

Additionally, we provide wire mesh filtration elements for dedusting filtration in conveyor equipment for silo vehicles and pleated filter elements with special filter media and customer-specific connection systems for pneumatic conveyance and drying applications.

Compact Filter Elements

For over 30 years, compact filter elements (CFE) have been the preferred choice for dust collection systems in critical industrial processes. Filtration Group’s extensive experience in the development and application of CFEs ensures their suitability for a wide range of applications, including laser cutting (separating 99.995% of dust), wet painting (filtering paint overspray), mining and tunnel construction (requiring robust filter media), and metalworking (where oily dusts challenge conventional filters). Our CFEs are completely tip-bonded, self-supporting filter plates that combine the advantages of filter bags and filter cartridges. They can be equipped with oil- and water-repellent polyester fleece, microporous coatings, or PTFE membranes, depending on the application. CFEs are ideal for environments with high dust loads and can be efficiently cleaned using pulse jet cleaning. Offering up to three times more filter surface than conventional filter bags, our CFEs are compact, highly efficient (up to 99.995%), long-lasting, and easily cleanable with compressed air impulses.

Aerosol Separators

In machining and forming processes in industry – for example in modern machine tools – cooling lubricants (oil or emulsions) are used under high pressure. This allows increased oil mist and emulsions to enter the ambient air. To ensure that the aerosol concentration does not exceed the MWC (maximum workspace concentration) limit values, the cooling lubricant mist must be reliably and continuously extracted and cleaned from the working area of the machines. This is a problem traditional systems are unable to handle.

Dedusting units

We combine all our experience in our dedusting units. The interaction of FG filter elements, specially developed cleaning units and optimally designed housings results in our compact dedusting systems. Our standard range starts with small top-on filters and extends to large central exhaust systems. An ATEX version is available if required. Our standard units can also be flexibly adapted to customer requirements to achieve the optimum solution for continuous and trouble-free operation with low maintenance requirements.
