A V-bank filter (also known as a V-cell or Mini-pleat V-bank filter) is a high-efficiency air filter designed to handle large air volumes while maintaining low resistance. It is named for its distinctive "V" shape, created by multiple pleated media packs arranged in a V-configuration within a rigid frame.

1. Structural Overview

Media: Typically made of high-quality glass fiber or synthetic media. The media is mini-pleated with thermoplastic separators to ensure uniform spacing and airflow.

Frame: Usually constructed from high-impact ABS plastic, galvanized steel, or aluminum. The plastic version is popular because it is lightweight, fully incinerable, and corrosion-resistant.

Configuration: Commonly available in 2V, 3V, or 4V designs (referring to the number of V-shaped banks), which significantly increases the surface area compared to standard flat or box filters.
