7. Professional FAQ on Air Filtration Cartridges

Q1: What are the most common materials for air filtration cartridges?

A: Micro-glass, cellulose, and synthetic fiber blends are typical. High-performance models apply anti-static, hydrophobic or antibacterial treated media. For frames/mesh, galvanized/304SS/316L stainless steel are standard for corrosion resistance.

Q2: What specifications should I check for heavy equipment air filter applications?

A: Focus on outer diameter/length (matching air box), efficiency @ target particle size (usually 0.3μm), pressure drop (Pa), dirt holding capacity (g), end cap material/shape, burst strength (≥200 kPa preferred), ISO/ANSI compliance.

Q3: What installation standards apply?

A: Refer to ISO 29464 and OEM air box specs. Correct gasket compression and orientation prevent bypass. For high-vibration machines use threaded lock or reinforced clamp designs.

Q4: How is service life validated?

A: By accelerated lab clogging cycles (using ISO A2 fine test dust) and actual operating hour tracking. Also by post-use sectioning for internal wear/tear, and pressure-drop trend analysis. Average: 12-24 months (heavy-duty use).

Q5: How do you assure manufacturing consistency?

A: Automated CNC and pleating lines, ISO 9001 and 14001 management, ERP-based batch traceability, plus 100% product burst/leak test. Each batch provided with digital test reports.

Q6: Are your air filter cartridges certified?

A: Yes, all air filtration cartridges are ISO 16890, ANSI S12.60, RoHS, and CE certified; test certificates and traceable QR serials are supplied per shipment.

Q7: What support available for custom or urgent orders?

A: Free sampling, parametric engineering, quick prototyping, and trial run (
