Bag filters of synthetic, organic fibres

 Scandfilter AB is
unique among filter
manufacturers since the company develops
and manufactures in-house not only the filter cassettes,
but also the filter material used in the cassettes.
Synsafe air filters are the result of many years of experience,
combined with several years of intensive development work at the
Scandfilter development laboratory.
Synsafe filters have a relatively thick filter
The filter material is produced in a continuous process in which material which provides filtration in
many layers of fibre mixtures of different densities and fibre depth. The density gradually increases in
the direction of air flow through the filter,
structures are integrated. In the high filter classes, i.e. F6 - F9, we which offers high dust accumulation
capacity and thus excellent filter economy.
have developed an entirely new type of filter medium in which all
properties that are of importance to air filtration have been refined
and improved.

Efficiency
The filters conform closely to European
Standard CEN EN 779 as regards the
synthetic dust weight arrestance of filter
classes G3 - G4 (coarse filters) and as
regards atmospheric dust spot efficiency
of filter classes F5 - F9 (fine filters).
Useful life and economy
The filter is capable of arresting very
large quantities of dust from the air. This
ensures a long useful life and a very high
standard of operating economy.
Operating properties
An ideal air filter would have a com-
pletely constant collecting efficiency
throughout its useful life. Synsafe F6 - F9
filters have a more uniform characteristic
than any other comparable filter tested
during our development work.
Dimensional stability
Another important result of the research
programme was the discovery of harm-
ful ’flutter’ of filter bags with poor
dimensional stability. As a result, both
the filter medium and the sizing and
manufacture are focused on ensuring
high dimensional stability to enable the
filter bags to withstand the turbulence
Welded filter bags contribute towards the

Fire resistance
Contrary to earlier opinions, Synsafe
performs exceptionally well in a fire
situation. The thermoplastic material
retreats from the source of fire.
Scandfilter synthetic media emit less
energy and have virtually negligible
emission of toxic gases when exposed to
a fire. The National Swedish Testing and
Research Institute has performed The cross-section shows that the frame is

W = 287 mm.

CAPACITY
Synsafe is manufactured with 4 or, in certain cases, 6 filter bags.
The graphs below show the pressure drops for full modules when the filters are clean.
1/2 and 1/4 modules are manufactured with 2 and 3 filter bags respectively. For these, the air flow
rate is thus 50% and 25% respectively for every specified pressure drop.
