01 / PP AIR FILTER PRODUCTION PROCESS
Six verified stages from media to packing flow.
The process below follows the official PLM PP air filter line. Equipment and tooling must be matched to the same filter drawing, media specification and production target.
01
Non-Woven Filter Cloth
Confirm media type, width, thickness and filtration requirements before equipment and process selection.
MEDIA SPECIFICATION · WIDTH · THICKNESS02
Filter Cloth Pleating
Pleat the non-woven media to the required height, pitch and panel dimensions for the target filter.
PLEAT HEIGHT · PITCH · PANEL SIZE03
Injection Molding & Assembly
Place the pleated media into the matched tooling, then form the PP plastic frame and complete filter assembly.
MOLD · PLASTIC FRAME · FILTER ASSEMBLY04
Printing
Apply the required product code, direction mark, brand or traceability information after molding.
MARKING · CODING · TRACEABILITY05
Film Shrinking
Seal and shrink the protective film around the finished filter according to the packaging requirement.

Convey
Connect the finishing stations with a practical conveying route for inspection, packing and collection.
Every machine image is taken from its corresponding PLM official equipment page. These models are listed for the PP air filter process; final selection depends on the sample, drawing, media, mold, output and factory conditions.
NON-WOVEN MEDIA PLEATINGPLCZ55-1050-II
Full-Auto Knife Pleating Line
An official PLM pleating option listed for the PP air filter process. Final selection depends on media and filter dimensions.
Authenticity note: no AI-generated or CSS-drawn machine images are used. Additional molds, auxiliaries, quality checks and handling stations are confirmed after the PP filter is reviewed.

05 / COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you choose.
What is a PP air filter production line?
It is a coordinated process for producing automotive air filters with pleated non-woven media and a molded PP plastic frame. The official PLM process includes media preparation, pleating, injection molding and assembly, printing, film shrinking and conveying.
Is a pleating machine enough to make PP air filters?
No. Pleating prepares the filter media, but PP filter production also requires suitable tooling and injection molding for the plastic frame and assembly, plus the required marking, packaging and line-handling steps.
How do I choose between PLCZ55-1050-II and PL-AUTO55-1050F?
Share the non-woven media specification, pleat height, panel size, target filter models and required output. PLM can review which listed configuration better matches the actual process.
How do I choose between PLKS-1500 and PLKS-1500W?
The choice should be confirmed from the finished-filter drawing, mold structure, PP material, insert and assembly method, output target, available space and automation plan. PLM reviews these factors before final model selection.
Can PLM plan a new PP air filter factory?
Yes. PLM can help connect machine selection with filter materials, tooling, process guidance, factory layout, installation guidance and operator training.
Can I upgrade an existing PP filter line without replacing everything?
Yes. Share the current machines, molds, output, labor, defects and layout. Suitable equipment can remain while the main bottleneck or unstable process is addressed first.
