The PerfectPleat HC M8 filter is designed to consistently increase
efficiency throughout the service life of the filter. The PerfectPleat HC
M8 filter has approximately 25% more media than our standard
capacity filter, and is ideal for applications where pleated filters are
currently in use and higher performance is desired. They have an
initial MERV 8 rating respectively, but the efficiency increases
significantly when dust holding begins. PerfectPleat HC M8 filters
have distinctive self-supporting characteristics that allow a pleating
pattern, which promotes airflow and maximizes dust holding capacity
(DHC). Lower pressure drop and higher DHC means reductions in
energy consumption and operating costs.

PerfectPleat® HC M8 2″ Filter Construction

Superior Design and Construction
The perimeter frame is constructed from the highest wet-strength 28 pt.
beverage carrier board, securely bonded to the media pack. The
1″ model employs three supporting straps on the air-entering and
air-leaving sides of the filter to control pleat spacing and support the
media pack in the perimeter frame.
Support straps on the air entering side are used in combination with
uniquely designed pleat stabilizers on the air-leaving side of the 2″
model to provide additional strength. The support straps and pleat
stabilizers ensure integrity against turbulent airflow. The 2″ filter
resists crushing and abuse and provides excellent lateral stability
for installation in side-access systems.
The 4″ model utilizes a two piece die cut frame with integral pleat
spacers on the air leaving side. Pleat spacing is controlled by straps
bonded to the air entering side and the multiple rows of pleat spacers
on the air leaving side. The pleat spacers also ensure the pleats
remain open during use, maximizing filter life.

DuraFlex ® Media – Patented Media Design
Uniform size virgin fibers are assembled in closely controlled blends
to create a media that is both self-supporting and consistent in
performance. When pleated, DuraFlex media will hold its shape without
the wire support characteristic of conventional pleated filters. That
means no potential for the formation of rust and safer handling. With
the superior resiliency of DuraFlex media and no need for wire support,
PerfectPleat HC M8 filters can sustain significant abuse and maintain
their shape and pleat spacing. The absence of wire also makes the
filter totally incinerable, which can simplify disposal.
