Newly designed CArttidge filter for dust collector


We recently had a customer that had 50% of their filters failing. After working with them for months we have rolled out our one piece design. The cartridge filter is designed as one piece with three components. The inner core , media and caps are all molded together. No failure points on the filter, and no place for bacteria to hide.
I did a small powerpoint on why there filters were failing and it circulated so fast, and I got calls from several positions with in the company asking what I could do.

Just a dumb filter guy.....I don't proclaim to be smart, just a dumb filter bag guy. Common sense goes a long way. The development engineer kept saying it could not be done and I just kept asking Why not?
The bottom line is that we have a beautiful new design that "could not be built". Preliminary testing of the design was very positive with no modifications required.
Now we have a filter that can be cleaned multiple times with no failures. I am happy, and they are happy.
