They are cheap, disposable filtering cells with medium gravimetric efficiency. The filtering media, with density growing from the air inlet side to the air outlet side, is composed of continuous filament glass fibers and it is supported front and back by two metal grids which are fastened to a cardboard frame.
Applications
The filter media normally used makes them suitable to retain coarse dust particles (PM10).
They are used for fan-coil, air treatment units, warm air generators, ventilation equipment of machines and as pre-filters to filters having higher performances (like LOM-BAG pockets filters, V-cell filters or activated carbon filters).
The high dust storage capacity of fiberglass media makes them suitable should high dust charge be present.
Features
The media used for the construction of these cells has ISO Coarse 50% efficiency according to EN ISO 16890 (G3 according to EN 779:2012).

The DF filtering cells can be supplied with different dimensions from the standard above ones and with synthetic media (DF SINT).
Installation & service
The DF filters can be installed into C-shaped guides or into holding frames at frontal access. These filters are not washable, replace the cells once having reached a resistance of 200 Pa.
