Yes, the same micron screen is used in all of our dry filters.
The filter screen is like a parachute. When the dryers are running it is vertically inverted into the filter top section. When the dryers are off, it collapses downward shedding the lint and allowing it to collect in the storage vessel located at the bottom of the filter.
Open the quick release marine type porthole, grasp the filter screen and shake vigorously when desired. Once a quarter, remove the screen and wash it and reinstall in the filter. Run the dryer with no load until fully dry.
