PulsePleat* Industrial Filter Elements

GE offers PulsePleat* filter elements for baghouses: a combination of pleated high-efficiency filtration media and an inner support core that forms a one-piece element that fits directly into your existing baghouse tubesheet, replacing traditional filter bags and cages.

PulsePleat elements are the original pleated technology, and are designed and manufactured to operate in the harshest of industrial environments. With 20 years of experience, more than three million PulsePleat pleated filters have been sold for industrial air filtration systems.

Features & Benefits

Features:

Entire family of products to meet your specific needs for industrial baghouses
100% spunbond polyester media, with specialty finishes available, including Preveil* media
Wide open pleat spacing; shallow pleat depth
Variety of construction styles and components available
Offers 99.99+% efficiency
One piece design allows for simple, easy installation and maintenance
Fits most standard tubesheet designs

Benefits:

Requires less compressed air pressure to pulse clean
Operates across a wide range of temperatures and applications
Increases filtration area 2-3 times
Dramatically reduces air-to-cloth ratios
Reduces operating pressure differential
Reduces collection operational energy costs
Direct replacement for bags and cages
Substantially reduces installation time
Shorter length keeps the elements out of the inlet gas stream, reducing abrasion
Significantly more efficient than standard felt media
iPLAS* "formed-in-place" system anchors the pleat tips, providing evenly spaced and straight pleat alignment - critical to proper cleaning and dust discharge (available on selected elements)

Application
PulsePleat pleated filter elements have been proven to work in a wide variety of industrial applications:
Power Generation: Increased airflow and reduced inlet abrasion for spray dryer absorbers, coal crushers, boilers/SDA, and silos
Cement and Rock Dust: Increased available filtration area on a hole-for-hole basis despite shorter length, and removes filter from abrasion zone
Metals: Used successfully in staggered configurations to help reduce upward velocities (known as "can" and "interstitial" velocities) and decrease air-to-cloth ratios
Aluminum: Increased ventilation of pot rooms, more efficient hydrogen fluoride scrubbing and particulate capture
Chemical: Helped reduce compressed air usage (less cleaning frequency at reduced pressures) and reduced downtime due to decreased installation time
Food/Pharmaceutical: Improved dustcake release is frequently needed for protection from infestation problems and to provide for improved airflow. All synthetic filter elements are constructed from FDA compliant components
Paint/Pigments: Increased filtration area can help increase air volume and boost production of high value products
Design
Spunbond Media Efficiency
The unique PulsePleat* filter element media is unlike traditional felt or woven fabrics.
A tight pore structure resists penetration of particulate.
Rigid physical properties holds a pleat without the need for supporting backing material.
Spunbond Media vs. Traditional Needle Felt
Tight calendering of spunbond media fibers resists particulate penetration into the media. Spunbond media is manufactured by layering fine denier fibers from multiple spinning heads onto a moving mat. This depth of fibers is then calendared under heat and pressure. Spunbond media can withstand temperatures up to 275 °F (135 °C).
The media is pleated and molded into a filter element that can increase filtration surface area two to three times compared to conventional filter bags. PulsePleat elements can dramatically increase filtration efficiency while operating at significantly lower differential pressures.
