EMI shielded dust filters
Our EMI shielded dust filters offer the benefits of an attenuation vent panel with the properties of a dust filter in a single frame, saving space over our EMI shielded vents with removable dust filters which utilize separate units fixed together in-situ.
Standard frame styles are AF1 to AF4 & AF6 to AF8 and they incorporate a triple layer of woven and corrugated aluminium mesh. Each layer has a slightly different degree of corrugation and so provides separation and increased airflow potential. To enable it to perform its dual function the aluminium dust filter material is relatively dense and so requires an assisted airflow to operate correctly. A ‘kick plate’ is built into the unit to protect the filter from damage.
Our lightweight aluminium honeycomb attenuated ventilation panels are available with a choice of 13 standard aluminium frame extrusions. These EMI shielded vents are designed for use in racks and other forms of commercial enclosure.

Applications
Aluminium mesh dust filters are mounted in the same manner as our EMI shielded aluminium honeycomb vents and are used in industrial or military environments where a ‘heavy duty’ attenuating dust filter is required and a lighter weight de-membraned polyurethane as used in EMI shielded vents with removable dustfilters is not suitable. They are not designed for pure convection and need a driven airflow. They may be solvent cleaned after removal but particular attention should be paid to the replacement of gaskets which could be affected by compression-set or hydrocarbon/solvent contamination.
