AF424 Primary Air Filter – For Generator Service Companies

AF424 Primary Air Filter – Built for Generator Maintenance Use

This AF424 is one of the compact-sized primary air filters we supply to generator service companies.
Your pictures show the double-mesh structure, which is typically used on filters designed for dusty generator rooms or rental power environments.

The end caps are gray, a color often used by OEM suppliers for Perkins and CAT-pattern air cleaners.
Because this model has no safety element, it is intended to be installed directly as the main filter in the intake system.

How We Handle AF424 Production

Because AF424 is a small and frequently ordered model, we tend to produce it in batches.
Typical QC steps:

  1. Double-mesh alignment check for uniform airflow

  2. HV media pleat inspection to ensure no broken pleats

  3. Gray end cap sealing test to confirm full PU sealing

  4. Dimensional verification (OD, ID, height)

  5. Random airflow restriction test at 180–240 Pa

This ensures the filter meets field requirements for generator rooms with unstable dust levels.
