GE’s SimPleat pleated filter elements deliver a cost-effective option to upgrade from traditional bags and cages to pleated filters. SimPleat filters were developed to help users realize a quicker return on investment. With a temperature limit of up to 180° F (82° C), they are ideal for process applications, including: dryers, extruders, pill coating or tableting, mills and crushers, mixers or blenders, packaging lines, bin/silo vents and nuisance applications. Features & Benefits 100% Spunbond Polyester media with rigid pleat construction for superior filtration efficiency Increase in filtration of 2X-4X compared to standard bags reduces air-to-cloth ratios and operating DP, and promotes better airflow for increased throughput One-piece unitary design means no need for cages and one-step installation/removal iPLAS* strapping system resists flex fatigue and pleat reversal, extending filter service life Designed to fit most tubesheet holes with no modification to existing equipment in most cases Lower operating differential pressure requires less pulse cleaning, which can mean energy savings Filter components tested for indirect food contact and can be used in applications where FDA acceptance is required
