Baldwin Filters Inc. has announced the addition of Channel Flow air filters to its product line. Channel Flow filters feature a design that provides a stronger, more reliable filter, the company says. The key to the Channel Flow filters is the element. The flat and corrugated media — when formed into a round or racetrack media pack — is inherently strong, eliminating the need for a center tube and metal wrappers of traditional air filters. This translates to a more environmentally friendly filter, according to its maker.
Air enters an open channel on the inlet side and flows through the media, exiting through an adjacent open channel. Contaminants remain trapped within the channels and won’t dislodge during servicing.
Baldwin Filters’ Channel Flow air filters feature a durable frame, which encloses the media pack, the company said. The frame, which protects the media from damage during handling and prevents air from being drawn in through the sides of the filter, adds an extra element of protection for your engine. Baldwin has also incorporated a stronger media support to provide protection from increases in differential pressure.
According to Ken Stirn, senior product manager at Baldwin Filters, “This product represents a logical extension of Baldwin Filters’ air filter offering into the growing market for high density air filters to accommodate compact and aerodynamic equipment designs. As can be expected from Baldwin Filters, the product has several features that make it the product of choice for filter replacement.”
Baldwin Filters, a CLARCOR company, produces over 6,000 lube, air, fuel, hydraulic, coolant and transmission filtration products for most applications, and can be purchased from distributors worldwide.
