Filtrec has come up with seven-layer elements, an advancement from the existing five-layer elements. The new technology offers high performance in terms of life cycle as well as filtration efficiency. The high dirt holding capacity (DHC) together with low pressure drop increases element life.

Filtrec Has developed filter element which will not generate ESD. Issue of ESD in filter elements can lead to unexpected problem of physical damage of the elements due to an accumulation of Static potential in the media which then discharges within the elements itself.
