Pleated/Washable Filters

Answer:
The difference is the media. Not all pleated filters perform the same.
The cellulose free, synthetic filter media allows the pleats to handle higher solids loading and flow rates with a lower pressure drop that increases the filter efficiency and life, while reducing the filter change out cost and frequency.
Competitive cellulose blended pleats collapse on one another, binding off large amounts of the filters surface area. Premature binding of the surface area reduces the flow capacity and efficiency while it raises the differential pressure, and contributes to a limited filter life and frequent filter change cost. .
