REVOLUTIONARY NEW FILTER MEDIA USED IN CONTINENTAL AIR FILTERS
VISCOUS IMPINGEMENT UNIT FILTER AND AIR WASHER TYPES
Continental's new Ezwash filter media provides one of the great advances in air filtration during re cent years. Composed of double corrugated metal strips placed back to back in non-nesting rela tionship, this new media has high dust-collecting efficiency, low resistance to air flow even when extremely dirty, is virtually non-clogging, and is easily cleaned and serviced.
Ezwash media is used in Continental Unit Air Filters, in Continental Air Washers, and in the Continental Automatic Self-Cleaning Air Filter. Continental Filters are being used by many of the nation's largest industries (names on request). Full explanation is contained in Bulletin No. 401.
THE CONTINENTAL AUTOMATIC SELF-CLEANING AIR FILTER utilizes the revolutionary Ezwash filter media, plus a unique Ferris-Wheel action in the filtering curtain, plus positive self-cleaning--all resulting in extremely .high effi ciency, low resistance and completely trouble-free operation. The Ferris-Wheel action causes the cells to move from the front to the back curtain of the filter without changing their relative positions. The dirty side of the cell always faces the air stream. Thus dirt cannot he blown off the dirty side of the cell, back into the clean-air stream.
Positive self-cleaning is accomplished by a simple mechanism which is completely auto matic and fool-proof. Read the full details in Bulletin No. 201-B. No obligation.

HERRINGBONE-CRIMP DESIGN
Far-Air Filters are permanent, all metal herringbone-crimp, zinc electro-plated steel wire screen construction. The alter nate layers of flat and herringbonecrimp fine wire screen results in Lower Pressure Loss (0.12 in. W.G. clean at 519 fpm), Greater Air Delivery (1200 cfm at 520 fpm through 20 x 20 x 2 in. unitpermitting equal filter and coil area and eliminating most V-bank installations), Higher Efficiency (improved perform ance up to velocities as high as 750 fpm), Larger Dirt Holding Capacity (from 30 per cent to over 125 per cent more filter ing media per unit), and Easier Cleaning (cold water hosing cleans thoroughly. Far-Air Filters can be cleaned-in-place . . . they do not have to be removed from their holding frames).
Based on the recommended net face velocity of 520 fpm, Far-Air Filters de liver 50 per cent more air with the same blower power. This effects a saving in both initial costs and maintenance costs as only % the filter area need be installed and maintained.
PROGRESSIVE LOADING
As entering orifices of Far-Air Filters are loaded, air direction changes, flowing
f>ast the front
oaded surface and progres sively loading the clean screen mesh that re mains. Greater free area per mits a larger dirt load with lower pressure loss.
SELF-WASHING FILTERS
These filter units will handle any cfm requirement' and are completely auto matic. Washing, drying and. re-oiling cycle is controlled by electric timers whose intervals may be adjusted accord ing to operating conditions. Oil and water are flushed away immediately, eliminating messy sumps and attendant fire hazard. Units also have an automatic fire control feature as further protection. Installation is easy with practically no maintenance required.
