Description

Developed specifically for powder coating spray booth systems, Nordson PowderGrid Plus cartridge filters reduce powder waste, improve powder-booth performance and extend filter life.

Reclaim system performance in any powder coating application
Innovative cartridge filter design reduces powder waste, improves powder-booth performance and extends filter life.

PowderGrid Plus cartridge filters, developed specifically for powder coating, include an innovative pleat design, optimum pleat number and spacing, and a unique, filter media dimpling process. This technology provides and maintains maximum effective surface area throughout reclaim operations for the highest operating efficiency and performance available.

Features and Advantages

• Optimum pleat number and spacing assures uniform filtration over the entire surface area for lower pressure drop, more consistent booth airflow and easier cleaning
• Unique, dimpled pleat design provides 100 percent open filter area to maximize operating efficiency
• Controlled arrangement of media fibers allows for smaller, more uniform pores leading to greater efficiency and improved durability, making filter seasoning unnecessary.
• Rounding of pleat tips increases effective filter media area for long service life
• Durable, low-durometer, one-piece gasket delivers air-tight seal
• Ideal for use with Nordson powder coating spray booths, with a full line of mounting styles available for vertical, horizontal and flange-mount applications
• Innovative design for optimum performance
• Combining an innovative filter pleat design with Nordson’s exclusive process of filter media dimpling, the PowderGrid Plus cartridge filter delivers maximum effective surface area throughout a powder coating reclaim system operation.

The dimpled filter media is self-supporting, requiring no metallic screens or armature to prevent pleats from pinching or ballooning during operation. This provides unobstructed airflow across the entire surface area for maximum filtration efficiency and lower pressure drop across the filter.

Increased effective surface area
The absence of any pleat-supporting screens and a larger number of pleats provide maximum overall filter surface area. Rounding of the pleat tips further increases effective filtration surface. This results in slower rise in pressure drop, reduced load on the booth fan, and improved overall reclaim system operation.

Improved cleanability for reduced waste
In comparison testing, a typical paper cartridge filter retained 14 pounds of powder, which must be discarded when the filter is replaced. PowderGrid Plus filters retained only three pounds of powder, reducing waste by as much as 80 percent. Such significant savings are due to the optimized pleat count and Innovative cartridge filter design reduces powder waste, improves powder-booth performance and extends filter life.

The excellent powder release characteristics of the 100 percent polyester filter media significantly reduces powder retention and waste. The dimpled media of PowderGrid Plus filters eliminates ballooning of the pleats and trapping of powder during reverse pulsing. This improves the effectiveness of pulsing, allowing the PowderGrid Plus filters to work at a lower average static pressure drop over the life of the filter, and keeps more powder in-process.

Durable, air-tight gasket
The flexible, low-durometer gasket of the PowderGrid Plus cartridge filter assures a durable, air-tight seal. The gasket is molded to eliminate the possibility of seam failure under the stress of back-pulse cleaning.
