PLEATED PANEL FILTERS 

 

Pleated panel filters have wide spaced fabric pleats (often around 50mm between 
pleats) in a metal case. 

These filters can be removed and emptied regularly. They can also be emptied 
using a vacuum cleaner by removing the door of the VertEx, taking care not to 
damage the media. If removed, always replace the filter with the open face 
upwards. 

Replace the filter when it is stained on the clean (downwards) side, or 
damaged. 

 

 

 
MINIPLEAT FILTERS 

 

Mini pleat filters have fine paper pleats (often around 5mm between pleats) in a 
metal case. 

This filter is not cleanable. 

Replace the filter when it is stained on the clean (downwards) side or 
damaged.

 

 

 

DISPOSABLE CARBON FILTERS 

 

Disposable carbon filters have solid black activated carbon filter media in a metal 
case; arranged as either a flat panel, or a 

‘V’

 section. 

Carbon filters are not cleanable. They will become less effective over time and we 
recommend changing to a fixed schedule (for example, annually) in low use 
applications. 

Replace the filter when increased odour is noticed in the exhaust from the 
unit; or to a fixed schedule.
