10006133 - Diversitech 24x24x4 Pleated Pre-Filter MERV 8

Optimized Pre-Filtration for Industrial Air Quality

The Diversitech 10006133 is a high-performance pleated pre-filter designed to serve as the first line of defense in industrial fume extraction systems. Measuring a nominal 24" x 24" x 4", this filter is engineered to capture larger airborne particulates such as grinding dust, metal shavings, lint, and coarse welding fumes before they reach the system's primary filtration stage. By effectively removing these contaminants, the pre-filter significantly extends the service life of more expensive main cartridges or HEPA filters, ensuring cost-effective operation of air pollution control equipment.

Constructed with a robust, moisture-resistant beverage board frame, the 10006133 maintains structural integrity even in humid industrial environments. The filter media consists of a specialized synthetic blend, pleated to maximize surface area. This extended surface area allows for a higher dust-holding capacity and a lower pressure drop compared to standard flat panel filters. A lower pressure drop is critical for maintaining the designed face velocity and capture velocity of the fume extraction arm or downdraft table, ensuring that hazardous fumes are effectively drawn away from the operator's breathing zone.

Rated at MERV 8, this filter offers an optimal balance between filtration efficiency and airflow resistance. It is compatible with a wide range of Diversitech equipment, including the FRED series fume extractors and various downdraft tables requiring 24x24x4 modules. Regular replacement of the pre-filter is a key component of a preventative maintenance schedule, preventing system clogging and ensuring compliance with workplace air quality standards.
