FOREMOST IN AIR FILTRATION
High Capacity Design
The Alpha 2000 High Capacity HEPA filter is available in a nominal 12” depth configuration. It is
designed for optimum performance and low operating costs in both new and replacement systems.
The Alpha 2000 saves space, energy, and material
and labor costs with 40% more media area than the
standard capacity Alpha Cell filter.
Save Space
Alpha 2000 HEPA filters operate at 500 fpm (2000
cfm for a 24” x 24” size) at 1.35 inch w.g. clean
pressure drop versus conventional Alpha Cell filters
that operate at 250 fpm and .80 inch w.g. clean
pressure drop.
Construction
A popular construction option consists of 16 ga.
galvaneal frames and moisture-resistant microfine
wet-laid fiberglass media folded over hemmededge low amplitude corrugated aluminum separators. The filter pack is bonded to the frame by a fireretardant urethane elastomer to provide a rigid
leak-free assembly.

ed at conventional 250 fpm velocities during the life
of the filters. The Alpha 2000 99.97% and 99.99%
high capacity 24” X 24” X 11.5” filter has a clean
pressure drop of 1.0 inch w.g. at 1500 cfm, compared to standard Alpha Cell filters with a clean
pressure drop of 1.50 inch w.g. at the same air flow.
Save Replacement Material and Labor
Costs
Savings are significant with high capacity Alpha
2000 filters. They operate at lower velocities and
provide life cycles up to three times the life of standard capacity filters. Savings are achieved in
replacement materials and labor costs as a result of
fewer filters.
Save Energy

Separator or Separatorless
Flanders manufactures both conventional Separator Style and Pureform Separatorless HEPA
Filters. To make a Separator Style filter, the media is folded over corrugated aluminum separators with hemmed edges to separate the pleats in the filter pack. Flanders manufactures its own
filter media, enabling it to develop a unique manufacturing process for the production of Pureform
Separatorless HEPA Filters. In one manufacturing operation, Flanders produces a self-supporting and self-separating Pureform Media Pack.
The Pureform Filter offers many advantages over conventional Separator Style HEPA Filters:
• More usable media area for longer service life because of higher dust holding capacity
• Reduced cost of ownership because of longer service life
• Maximum utilization of the media
• Can handle some harsh environments which may attack aluminum separators
• Media pack can be incinerated
• Media is 28 mils thick, which is significantly thicker than conventional 15 mil media used
in Separator Style HEPA Filters
