An Andreae filter is used for efficient filtration by encapsulating liquid materials and fumes, such as paint, glue, oil and grease. Therefore, Andreae filters are especially suitable for use in for example paint booths. Often the filter is combined with a pre-filter media, for example a paint-stop media that captures the largest particles and thereby prolongs the lifetime of the Andreae filter.
An Andreae filter is based on the principle of inertia, which means that the particles are carried by the air flow and trapped in the V-shape of the filter, while the air continues unhindered through the upper holes in the filter. Since the air is not required to pass through the filter material itself, but instead through the holes, the static pressure is kept at a low level, whereby the energy consumption is equivalently low. The filter also has 3-5 times longer lifetime than fiberglass, as there is no risk of the filter blocking as with a standard filtration.
An Andreae filter from konfAir is made of a 2-layer "heavy kraft paper".
The paper is glued together, punched and folded in a V-shape. The filter is only stocked in one size of 900x9200mm.
