All-Aluminum Air Filter

Aluminum construction for air handling applications.

Discuss the required dimensions, airflow and installation arrangement with our team.

Standard models and custom dimensions available. Ask us to match your filtration requirements.

Product overview

What it is and where it fits.

This all-aluminium filter stacks nine layers of expanded aluminium mesh, graded from coarse to finer openings, so dust is captured progressively through the depth of the filter. It is light, washable and reusable.

It shares the standard modules of our stainless steel filter and is used as a prefilter in industrial ventilation where a lighter, lower-cost metal filter is preferred.

FAQ

Common questions.

Why are the layers graded from coarse to fine?

Coarse layers catch larger particles first and fine layers catch smaller ones, spreading the dust load through the depth of the filter so it clogs more slowly.

Are aluminium filters reusable?

Yes. They can be washed with water or a mild detergent and reused once dry.
