Benefits & Features
Flexible Design
AAF Flanders' Universal Holding Frames can be used individually, or may be combined to fit virtually any size filter bank. The frames are available in 18-gauge galvanized steel, 18-gauge 304 stainless steel, or 16-gauge aluminized steel. All frames feature holes on each side for bolting or riveting into filter banks. The 3” deep (nominal) frame will support all standard combinations of pre- and final filters.
Easy Installation
AAF Flanders' Universal Holding Frame Latches are available to hold a variety of filters and filter combinations in place to create a positive seal. They are specifically designed for upstream or downstream servicing. Universal Holding Frames feature a unique retaining tab to hold the “L” Series latches. “L” Series latches do not connect to, or disturb, the flat sealing flange and gasket surface. The latches are replaceable and easy to use, requiring only a simple twisting motion to release the filter. Double latches allow prefilters to be changed without disturbing the final filter.
High Performance in Tough Operating Conditions
The galvanized steel frames have factory-installed PVC gaskets to ensure a proper seal between the frame and filter and minimize dirty air by-pass (all standard sizes are also available without gaskets). The frames also offer increased resistance to corrosion and longer service life in corrosive environments. They are available with factory-installed EPDM gaskets (all standard sizes are also available without gaskets). In addition, each latch is commercially zinc-plated to provide years of service under varying environmental conditions.
Reliable High Temperature Operation
The aluminized steel holding frame is designed for high temperature applications. When constructed without a gasket, the aluminized frame will tolerate temperatures up to 900°F, making it ideal in filtration systems for paint-curing ovens. The aluminized steel frame is also available with factory-installed EPDM gaskets.
The Universal Holding Frames are designed to use either the Universal Holding Latches or the Knock-on style holding latches. Seven standard sizes are available (WxH): 24 x 24, 20 x 25, 20 x 20, 16 x 25, 16 x 20, 20 x 24, and 12 x 24.
