POY Finalist: Pocket filter
Finalist in HVAC in Plant Engineering’s 2011 Product of the Year competition
Edited by Amanda McLeman, Plant Engineering
Hi-Flo 
ES is a high-efficiency ASHRAE-grade pocket filter that uses up to 50% less HVAC energy and offers up to 30% longer service. This pocket filter prevents pocket-to-pocket contact throughout the filter’s depth, ensuring uniform airflow and full use of the media.
An exclusive front-to-back pocket taper makes the filter Hi-Flo ES resistant to tearing and other damage during installation. The result is a long and productive service life as well as a low lifecycle cost. The pocket filter is effective against a broad range of contaminants, including those that contribute to sick building syndrome.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
