What Kind of Filters Does 5 Star Filter Make?

Based in Houston, TX, Five Star Filter's focus is commercial and industrial filters. The supplier makes a variety of manufacturing parts that we can provide replacements for, such as:

Bag Filters

Bag filters are very versatile and can be used in a wide variety of industrial dust collection applications. They are well-suited for facilities that generate dry, fine particulates such as powders or small flecks of airborne particles. Baghouses effectively trap dust generated from processes like grinding, sanding, sawing, and milling of metals, plastics, chemicals, and minerals.

This type is appropriate for collecting dust from manufacturing wood products, fertilizers, cement, and other dusty materials. Their ability to capture ultra-fine particles makes bag filters an excellent option for applications with stringent air quality standards.

Bag collectors are also common in the power generation industry. They remove fly ash emissions from coal combustion in electricity plants and capture waste dust from other biomass or waste-to-energy burning facilities. Baghouses protect employees and meet environmental regulations by containing these fine particulates before exhaust air is released.

Dust collectors

While many suppliers only offer standard dust collector replacement filter cartridges, we at Fluitek design custom solutions for more demanding use cases. We engineer solutions suitable for powder paint, welding exhaust, food manufacturing, and paper dust collection.

Our portfolio includes over 28 proprietary dust collector media that withstand temperatures up to 500°F. We tailor media to meet unique application needs, and some options offer cleanable alternatives to disposable. Whether a standard product or customized engineering is required, we have the technical knowledge, materials, and production capabilities to solve challenging particulate filtration problems.

In addition to traditional dust collector replacement filter cartridges, we supply specialized solutions for sectors like food processing, pharmaceuticals, and high-heat operations. This allows us to support applications such as powder paint production lines, industrial kitchen ventilation, welding fume exhaust, and paper mill dust control that require filtration beyond common industry standards.

Panel Filters

These are commonly used in HVAC systems and other large air handling applications due to their space-efficient flat design. They are well-suited for both commercial and industrial facilities with mid-to-high air volume needs. Some common applications of panel filters include:

• Data centers: Panel media help keep server rooms and technology equipment clean from particulates.

• Office buildings: They remove dust and microbes from supply air in ventilation and central air systems.

• Warehouses: They protect inventory from contamination in distribution centers and fulfillment facilities.

• Manufacturing plants: Useful for large machining and parts assembly areas requiring clean, filtered ventilation.

• Healthcare facilities: Hospital HVAC units rely on panel solutions to maintain sterile air quality standards.

• Airport and mass transit hubs: Maintain indoor air quality in busy terminals and concourses.

• Cleanrooms: Provide pre-filtration before sensitive HEPA filter stages in pharmaceutical plants.

• Semiconductor fabrication: Critical clean air applications like microchip manufacturing.

Panel filters are very cost-effective for high-capacity systems due to their compact design and easy maintenance. Various efficiencies can meet the needs of any large airspace requiring particulate filtration.

How To Match Your 5-Star Part to a New Replacement Part At Fluitek

Matching your existing part to our replacement part can seem intimidating. But our helpful and friendly professionals with over 35 years of experience can help you. Here are some tips for how you can match your part to a new replacement part:

• Measure all dimensions of the original part, including length, width, depth, hole spacing, and thread sizes. You should document these measurements to compare them to potential replacement options.

• Inspect any identifying markings like part numbers, brand logos, material codes, or certification labels. This information can help you determine the exact part or equivalent replacement.

• Photograph the part from multiple angles to show details.

• Note any special design features like tapered ends, gasket surfaces, and molded fittings. An equivalent part needs to accommodate these physical aspects.

• Consider the operating environment and required performance, like pressure rating, temperature range, or chemical compatibility. The replacement must withstand the same conditions.

• Check for compatible connection standards like bolt-hole patterns, threads, and flange holes. The replacement needs a consistent interface.

• Contact the original equipment manufacturer for part number cross-references if possible. They can verify a direct replacement for you that we have.

• Being prepared to provide materials of construction, coating and plating details, or material certifications is important to the application.
