The disclosure is directed toward presses which may comprise planar or curved press plates that can be driven toward and away from each other such as via linear reciprocating movement to press filter media sheets as opposed to using rolls. The press plates can create such features as embossments that may have the ridges and grooves, brands, creases or other such features. The press can create pleated packs or individual panels for non-pleated packs. Additionally, a variety of embossed pleat packs, unique shapes, structural components and other pleat packs that may be formed by presses or other methodology are disclosed as well as filter cartridges using such pleat packs.

Filter media packs, methods of making and filter media presses

Filter systems, filters, and methods of managing filter systems are provided. The filter systems utilize large filters that are too large to be manually handled by service personnel. As such, the filter systems and methods utilize filter positioning units for handling the filters during maintenance intervals. Some systems include sensor for remotely monitoring the status of the filters and the information can be used to reverse pulse the filters as well as to indicate the end of the service life of the filters. The filters can be refurbished with new filter media.
