Abstract:
A filter for industrial coating filtration systems. The filter has a housing made up of a peripheral wall extending around the periphery. The housing is preferably made of a suitably rigid material. A preferably rigid support backing is mounted within the housing. The support backing has a planar configuration with openings formed through it so that gas can flow through without substantial resistance. The preferably planar sheet of which the support backing is made is pleated. The pleated support backing defines a series of panels, each of which is angled to a next adjacent panel. Filtration media is mounted to the support backing, end caps are attached to the ends of the support backing to maintain the pleated configuration, and the assembly is inserted into the housing, which can have end flaps to seal using tape or adhesive.

Claim (Index 1):
A filter for a spray coating system, the filter comprising:\n (a) a housing including a peripheral sidewall having an inlet opening on a first side and an outlet opening on a second, opposite side of the housing, the inlet and outlet openings providing substantially no resistance to the flow of gas along a flow path extending through the housing from the inlet opening to the outlet opening; (b) a support backing disposed within the peripheral sidewall between the inlet and outlet openings, the support backing having at least a first substantially planar panel joined at a first edge to a first edge of a second substantially planar panel at a predetermined, non-parallel angle thereto, said first and second panels having openings formed therethrough to provide substantially no resistance to the flow of gas through the panels, wherein a hinge is formed where the first edge of the first panel is joined to the first edge of the second panel, whereby the support backing may be collapsed by pivoting said first panel along the hinge relative to the second panel; (c) a filtration material attached to the support backing; and (d) at least one extended surface area filter disposed at the second side of the housing downstream of the outlet opening for filtering gas after passing through the filtration material attached to the support backing.
