DuraShield®

Gas turbine filter cartridge for pulse cleaning

| Protection in high dust laden environments

Description
DuraShield filter cartridges have been specifically designed
to protect gas turbines in high dust laden environments. The
DuraShield product range excels in demanding operating
conditions where pulse cleaning is required.

DuraShield will protect gas turbines, increase machine

availability and reduce maintenance costs. The DuraShield’s
low pressure drop helps reduce energy costs. Product
models that utilise nanofiber outer layer excel at surface
loading, allowing for a combination of excellent filtration
properties and superior dust release during pulse cycles.

The DuraShield product range is available in four different

media options and suitable for most manufacturers' inlet
systems. The DuraShield B is a blended cellulose synthetic
mix, DuraShield BN is a blended cellulose synthetic mix,

| Durable providing increased reliability

Four media options

Available in four different media options to ensure
filter performance matches application requirements.
Low pressure drop
Suitable for high dust laden environments
Protection doesn’t come at the expense of efficiency.
