PGI introduces Everist

At next week’s Filtech filtration conference and exhibition in Cologne (February 24-26) PGI will introduce its new nanofibre-based Everist media. 

It is characterised by enhanced mechanical efficiency, low pressure drop and excellent dirt holding capacity and targeted at the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and other high efficiency filtration markets.

PGI’s Everist technology is said to outperform traditional mechanical media in key areas including:

• Enhanced efficiency – a higher initial efficiency and the same mechanical efficiency as glass, while providing the same initial efficiency and a higher discharge efficiency than synthetic media.
• Half the pressure drop of glass media and a similar performance to electrostatically-charged synthetics.
• Double the dirt holding capacity of synthetic composites and a similar capacity to glass.
• The media pleats on both rotary and blade machines and can be sonically welded.

The launch of Everist represents the culmination of recent investments in PGI’s Waynesboro, Virginia, manufacturing facility.

“For years PGI has served as a global leader in filtration, and the launch of Everist marks a critical step in our strategy for growth both in this market and in our overall business,” said Mike Disotelle, global vice president of technical specialties at PGI.
