Qualities

AFPRO bag filters are used as a pre- or fine filter in air conditioning systems among other 

things. The filters are available in filter classes G3 - F9 in compliance with EN779:2012, 

besides which all M5 to F9 filters are certified by means of the EUROVENT “certify all” 

system. The filter media, made from both polymer and glass fibres, are assembled in a robust 

plastic, steel or aluminium frame. The aluminium frame is a new introduction for AFPRO 

filters – its advantage is its great stiffness and the detail of the finish level. With the 

new aluminium frames in combination with the aerodynamic finishing strips, the filters are 

even simpler to install, and they will have a lower resistance throughout

their lifetime.

Advantages of bag filters

•  Large filter area

•  Unique construction and opening of the filter bags

•  Very high dust retention capacity through use of high-grade filter materials

•  Long filter lifetime

•  Low energy consumption

•  Dimensioning according to EN15805

•  Corrosion free

•  Simple waste processing

  
  

Structure

The bag filters are constructed from bags with a unique structure through which as low a 

resistance as possible can be realised. The bags are assembled in an aluminium, plastic or 

steel frame. The filters resist up to 70°C and 95% RH.

New EN779:2012

The new EN779:2012 has ensured further development of many bag filter products. AFPRO 

Filters has made sure that all its bag filters comply with the new EN 779:2012 by improving 

the filter medium. Because AFPRO Filters makes a large proportion of the media itself,

this improvement could be made rapidly, and the new filters were immediately notified to 

EUROVENT. Through the EUROVENT “certify all” programme for air filters, the customer is 

assured of the quality of AFPRO Filters. Besides a polymer version, AFPRO Filters also

introduced a glass fibre version that generously complies with the minimum efficiency 

stipulated in EN 779:2012. Below, you can find the new classification table containing the 

new MTE values. For an F7 glass fibre filter, the minimum efficiency of the AFPRO filters is

58%; this is over 65% above the minimum requirement specified in EN779:2012.

Energy labels

Via EUROVENT, the bag filters have already obtained an energy label,as a result of which the 

mutual comparison of filters has become straightforward. A filter with a smaller filter 

area, fewer or shorter bags will have a poorer energy label and will use more energy in 

practice. The labels immediately clearly show the expected energy consumption,

which is very important considering that 70-80% of the life cycle costs are determined by 

energy. AFPRO has bag filters with A (most energy efficient) to G (least energy efficient) 

labels. As well as in this catalogue, you can find these labels on the EUROVENT website and 

on our boxes and filters.
