Activated Carbon Cartridge Frame
Activated Carbon Cartridge Frame is a supporting filter component designed for the safe and organized installation of cylindrical activated carbon filter cartridges in air handling units, duct-type filter cells and industrial gas filtration systems.
Available with galvanized or oven-painted metal body options, the cartridge frames can be configured in different dimensions to hold 4, 8, 12 or 16 Ø145 mm activated carbon cartridges. The special compression mechanism helps secure the cartridges quickly and safely.
Compatible with Ø145 mm
Modular Design
What Is an Activated Carbon Cartridge Frame?
An activated carbon cartridge frame is a metal support system that secures cylindrical activated carbon filter cartridges in a defined arrangement. It also allows the airflow to pass through the cartridges in a controlled manner.
Activated carbon cartridges installed on the frame help reduce odors, volatile organic compounds and certain gas-phase contaminants through adsorption. In addition, the frame ensures correct cartridge positioning and enables easy removal and replacement during maintenance.
Available in galvanized or oven-painted metal versions, the system can be integrated into air handling units, duct-type filter housings and dedicated gas filtration cells with different cartridge quantities and installation dimensions.

Frame Selection Criteria
- Total system airflow
- Permissible airflow per cartridge
- Required number of cartridges
- Width and height of the filter cell
- Outside diameter of the cartridge
- Cartridge length and carbon volume
- Requirement for galvanized or painted finish
- Access space required for installation and maintenance
- Cartridge gasket and connection geometry
- Permissible system pressure drop
Maintenance and Cartridge Replacement
During periodic maintenance, the frame body, cartridge connection points, compression mechanism and mounting surfaces should be inspected. Loose connections, deformation and openings that may cause uncontrolled airflow should be corrected.
When replacing activated carbon cartridges, verify that all cartridges are installed in the correct direction, gasket surfaces are clean and the compression mechanism is applied evenly.
When removing used cartridges, the nature of the adsorbed chemicals should be considered. Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used, and cartridges should be disposed of according to the facility’s waste management procedures.
