Deep Bed Filters: When and Why to Use Them
More Depth, More Capacity
Deep bed filters use a thick, extended media pack — often arranged in peaks or wedges — to create a very large filtration surface. The result is exceptional dust-holding capacity and long service life, ideal for systems that run hard or handle heavy dust.
Common Configurations
We manufacture several deep bed styles to suit different housings and airflow:
- •4-point deep bed — a versatile all-rounder
- •Pyramid deep bed — maximises surface area within the depth available
- •Wedge deep bed — shaped to fit specific housings
- •3-peak deep bed — high surface area for demanding loads
When to Choose Deep Bed
- •Systems with high dust loads where standard filters clog too quickly
- •Applications where long service intervals reduce maintenance costs
- •Air handling units with the depth to accommodate a deep filter
The Payoff
Because deep bed filters hold so much dust before they need changing, they cut down on maintenance frequency and keep pressure drop low for longer — saving both labour and energy.
