Baldwin Axial Seal Air Filter Products
February 2010
The Current…
Most axial seal style air filters for heavy-duty applications are made with
sealing gaskets glued to steel end caps. As the filter is secured in the
housing, the gasket compresses against flat sealing surfaces, forms a seal
and prevents airborne contaminants from bypassing the filter.
The Change…
As an innovative company, Baldwin Filters now utilizes new technology in
the design of a select group of axial seal style heavy-duty air filters within
our product line. Some steel end caps with glued sealing gaskets will now
be replaced by molded urethane end caps and sealing gaskets. With this
technology, soft urethane used for the gasket is molded together with a
more rigid urethane used for the end cap. Some filters will have urethane
end caps on both ends while others may still require the use of a metal end cap at one end.
The Benefits…
- Environmentally Friendly Materials
- Eliminates Gasket Adhesion Concerns
- Enhanced Gasket Sealing
A running change will be made to the filters involved. Many products already utilize this technology.
