FILTER ELEMENT FOR AN AIR FILTER AND A METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to a filter element for an air filter, comprising a filter insert (2; 8; 10) and a seal (6) running around the outer edges of said filter insert (2; 8; 10) on the flat side. This filter insert (2; 8; 10) is folded in a zigzag format and consists of filter paper or filter fabric. The filter element (1; 7; 9; 10) rests against the casing parts of a filter casing through the seal (6). The folded filter insert (2; 8; 10) has a contour on one side deviating extensively from one plane in at least certain predetermined areas, thus creating a continuous zigzag fold.
