General
The Flanders Precisionaire Modified Channel Frame disposable
air filter provides the user with a product of unusual quality and
strength.
Originally designed for light commercial and industrial applica-
tions, the Flanders precisionaire Modified Channel Frame filter is
an excellent choice for use in residential furnace systems.
The filter is produced on state-of-the-art production line machin-
ery that compresses a one-piece channel frame onto the media
and retainer. The result is a filter of consistent high quality at a
competitive price.
Construction
The one-piece channel frame is formed into a wedge which
slopes to the center on the upstream side and is flat on the air exit
side. The one-piece feature, eliminates problems associated with
four-piece frames, such as broken corners and exposed metal
edges. This flat air exit side distinguishes the Modified Channel
filters from ordinary pinch frame filters that may be difficult to
install/remove and which may not seal well in the filter channel. A
notched frame design allows the filters to nest, creating savings
advantage of approximately 30-35% in warehouse space and
freight costs.
A double bead of hot melt glue running the full perimeter of the
frame is used to bond all components into one tough unit. This
process permits the use of a single metal grid on the air exit
side only or no metal grid at all, thus maximizing filter face area
to extend service life. Four separate Modified Channel Styles are
offered:
EZ Flow:
The filtering media is continuous filament spun glass.
A resinous bonding agent provides rigidity and resistance to
media compression. Ametal media retainer is positioned on
the downstream side. Retainer may be either recycled bottle-
cap or expanded metal, depending on filter size.
EZ Flow II
: Construction is identical to the EZ Flow Modified
Channel, but there is no metal media retainer.
Flanders Precisionaire Synthetic:
The filtering medium is
made of 100% nonwoven polyester synthetic fibers chemi-
cally bonded with a fire retardant resin. Because of the syn-
thetic nature of the fiber, the media is extremely resistant to
moisture and other environmental extremes.
Flanders Precisionaire Synthetic with Metal:
Construction is
identical to the Flanders Precisionaire Synthetic filter but twith
an added metal retainer on the downstream side.
