Molded End Filters
Our polyurethane molded end filters are build to meet or exceed OEM specs, or custom designed to your needs. Search Molded End FiltersRequest a Custom QuoteAbout Molded End Filters
Molded end filters are a cylindrical cartridge filter, designed to improve filtration and extend the service intervals of your industrial filter elements by trapping particles without much restriction of the air flow. They are available in a tremendous variety of configurations but are most commonly constructed from layers of pleated filter media and carbon steel inner and outer cores for durability. The self-sealing polyurethane end seal acts as a gasket against the seal plates of your filter housing.
Our high-performing polyurethane allows us to replace the metal end cap with a molded end while enhancing performance. Sidco Filter has developed a special-formula polyurethane that is more rigid than others and does not have any additional fillers, foam, or air. Our urethane provides a better seal and a more durable filter.
Most molded end filter elements extend the life of industrial equipment by regulating airflow, trapping particulate, absorbing moisture, and preventing contaminants from progressing downstream. Other molded end filters clean air or gas streams by effectively removing fine dust particles from 0.3 micron to 200 micron. Pleated medias increase the filter area, allowing low pressure drop and high particle-holding capacity. Depending on the media used, a molded end filter can be effective in removing up to 98% of dust and contaminants from air or gas.
Molded end filters are also often referred to as; Molded Ends, Molded Radial End Seals, Radial Fin Filters, or Air Intake Filters.

Applications
Molded end filters are used across industries and in a wide variety of applications.
Some applications filter large airborne particles, such as lint. Others clean air and gas streams, regulate air flow or trap moisture.
Molded end filters are typically found in engines, fan and blower inlets, axial compressors, turbines, pre-filter in multistage centrifugal compressor inlets.
