Purchase now: Atlantech Drives provides you the Pfannenberg 1532118, the essential maintenance kit (Set of 5) for the mid-range PF 32.000 Filterfan and PFA 30.000 Exhaust Filter. These components are the lungs of your electrical cabinet. The 1532118 features Pfannenberg’s advanced G4 Fluted Filter Media, engineered to provide NEMA Type 12 (IP 54) protection while allowing the high air volumes required to cool drives and power supplies in moderate-to-heavy industrial environments.
Why Fluted Mats are Superior
The 1532118 is not just a dust barrier; it is an airflow optimizer. The pleated structure increases the filtration surface area by approximately 300% compared to conventional flat mats. This extended surface area means that even as the filter loads with contaminants, the air permeability remains high for a much longer period. This «extended service life» reduces maintenance labor costs and ensures that the fan motor does not overheat due to static pressure resistance.

Expert Installation Advice: The «Click» Mechanism
The PF 32.000 series features a tool-less opening mechanism. Installation Tip: When replacing the 1532118 mat, ensure the fan is turned off (or use a finger guard). Open the louveled grille (it hinges open). Remove the dirty mat. When inserting the new 1532118, make sure the «rough» side faces the air intake (outwards) and the smooth/dense side faces the fan. Ensure the flutes are not crushed by the closing grille, as this would restrict airflow.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I use a lower grade (G3) mat to get more airflow?
A: We strongly advise against it. Downgrading to G3 allows larger particles (metal dust, textile fibers) to enter the cabinet, which can cause short circuits on PCBs. The G4 fluted mat is the optimal balance of protection and flow.
Q: Does this mat work for the IP 55 fans?
A: No. For IP 55 (washdown) applications, you need the specialized high-density IP 55 mat (Part No. 1532218). The 1532118 is for standard IP 54 use.
