Engineered to
Save You Money
Since every operator understands the importance
of return on investment, AAF is able to correlate
functionality versus cost.

AAF product designs are focused on life cycle cost so

operators are able to easily quantify the total cost of
plant ownership to fully appreciate and evaluate product
performance against known criteria. Through our extensive
research and development program, we are able to quantify
the improvement versus alternate suppliers. Switching to
AAF’s range of cartridges allows customers to maximize
customer investment and value for money.

Standard testing has proven that switching from competitive

medias to AAF REDClean™ will result in more than double
filter life, while at the same time halving compressed air
usage and reducing operational differential pressure to
deliver maximum filtration performance.

 Assembly
While many companies can pleat media and produce standard
cartridges, very few understand the technology of pleating and
the importance of assembly to overall filtration performance.
Through our extensive research into pleat optimization, AAF has been
able to quantify significant improvements to our range of cartridges.

Any cartridge is only as good as the assembly of its individual components,

and through consistent, repeatable assembly through our ISO certified
production facilities, AAF is able to guarantee performance.
