Almost 50 years in media research and development have yielded a standard media Pak™ selection for industrial, mobile, and marine applications. Depending on your specific requirements, Western Filter elements can be specified with the following standard media options.

C-Pak™ & R-Pak™ (Standard): Media: Beta Pore™ Our Standard media pak and the foundation of our product line, this ever evolving state-of-the-art media provides extremely high efficiency, low clean Δp, and substantially higher dirt holding capacity than our competitors’ elements. Constructed in five-layers with three proprietary inner layers surrounded by and inner and outer layer of epoxy-coated steel mesh for pleat stability and overall pack support, C and R Pak™ medias are the ideal choice for petroleum, high-water based, and synthetic fluids.

E-Pak™ (Coreless) Media: Beta Pore™ Our environmentally friendly E-Pak™ elements reduce disposal cost with a design that can be crushed to less than 50% of their operating volume. Coreless elements provide the performance advantages of our C and R Pak™ metal core elements but are manufactured without any metal components. E-Pak™ media construction utilizes our five-layered Pak™ with a polymer inner and outer mesh support along with a proprietary polymer mesh outer wrap to stabilize pleat spacing and support the entire Pak™ under surge and inadvertent reverse flow conditions. E-Pak™ elements are more than 50% lighter than traditional elements making it easier for the operator to change elements in large filter assemblies such as those used in lubrication applications.

L-Pak™ (Deep Pleat) Media: Beta Pore™ Specifically designed for lubrication applications and utilizing the same five-layer construction as the C-Pak™, our L-Pak™ series are designed with an extra deep pleat construction for even greater dirt holding capacity while still providing high efficiency filtration in steady-flow low pulsation systems.

H-Pak™ (High Collapse) Media: Beta Pore™ For critical system applications where a bypass valve in undesirable, our H-Pak™ media provides high-collapse elements up to the rated housing pressures they are used in (up to 3,000 PSID). H-Pak™ elements take advantage of our five-layer C-Pak™ for optimum efficiency and dirt holding capacity while utilizing a 304 stainless steel inner and outer mesh support along with a heavier core tube to protect the system against failures under the most extreme conditions.

P-Pak™ (Cellulose) Media: WestaPore™ Natural fiber cellulose media provides cost effective filtration of a variety of petroleum-based fluids. It is ideal in less critical or limited usage applications where cost is an over-riding issue. P-Pak™ cellulose media provides dependable performance and nominal filtration contamination control.

W-Pak™ (Water Removal) Media: WPore™ Wpore™ is a highly absorbent combination of BetaPore™ and absorbent copolymer media designed to provide effective removal of emulsified and free water from low-flow systems that have become contaminated because of natural condensation or worn actuators in the system. With effective water removal combined with nominal particulate filtration you can be assured that your system is protected while undergoing the water removal process.
