Frequently Asked Questions
What is filter pleating and why does it require adhesive?
Filter pleating involves folding filter media into a zig-zag pattern to increase surface area. Adhesive is applied during the pleating process to hold the folds in place, ensuring uniform spacing and consistent airflow through the filter.
How are hot melt adhesives used in air filter assembly?
Hot melt adhesives are used to bond components like pleated media to frames, end caps, or mesh supports. These fast-curing adhesives help speed up assembly and create a strong, lasting seal that stands up to high-pressure airflow.
What are the benefits of using hot melt in industrial filter gluing?
Hot melt adhesives offer quick bonding, minimal waste, solvent-free application, and strong thermal and mechanical resistance, making them ideal for high-volume and durable filter production.
Can Protek systems handle high-speed air filter production?
Yes. Our hot melt systems are built for industrial environments and can keep up with high-speed, automated filter manufacturing lines while maintaining precision and consistency.
What industries use hot melt adhesive systems for air filtering systems?
Industries include HVAC, automotive, aerospace, medical, and general industrial manufacturing anywhere that relies on clean air or fluid filtration.
