The Cotton Wound Filter Cartridge offers a natural and eco-friendly solution for depth filtration. Made from carefully wound cotton yarn, this natural fiber water filter is ideal for applications requiring an environmentally conscious choice. It is particularly effective in compressed air and oil mist filtration, as well as in filtering edible oils, syrups, and beverages. Its biodegradable nature makes it a responsible choice for specific industry needs.
Environmentally Friendly Choice: As a biodegradable filter, it provides a sustainable alternative to synthetic options. Made from renewable natural fiber, it reduces the environmental impact associated with filter disposal.
Excellent for Oil Absorption: The natural cotton fibers have a high affinity for absorbing oil and emulsified contaminants from compressed air and gases, making it a top choice for compressed air and oil mist removal.
Food-Safe Filtration: Constructed from pure, untreated cotton, it is suitable for use in food grade applications such as filtering cooking oils, sweeteners, wines, and beers without imparting taste or odor.
Soft and Conformable Filtration: The cotton yarn provides a soft, conformable filtration surface that is effective at capturing gelatinous and soft particles without premature blinding or clogging.
Filter Media | 100% Pure Cotton Yarn |
Core Material | Polypropylene / Stainless Steel |
Filtration Accuracy | 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 Micron |
Operating Temperature | ≤ 100°C (212°F) |
Max Differential Pressure | 0.15 MPa (22 PSI) |
End Cap Material | Polypropylene / Stainless Steel |
Compressed Air Line Filtration: Installed in compressed air systems after the compressor to remove liquid oil, water aerosols, and particulate matter, protecting pneumatic tools and instruments.
Food and Beverage Processing: Used for the final polishing of edible oils, filtration of syrups, molasses, and beverages like beer and wine to ensure product clarity and quality.
Bio-Based and Eco-Conscious Processes: Applied in industries prioritizing sustainable practices, such as bio-diesel production or organic product manufacturing, where a natural filter media is preferred.
1. Isolate the filter housing from the pressure source.
2. Open the housing and remove the spent cotton cartridge.
3. Wipe the housing clean and insert the new cotton wound cartridge.
4. Reassemble the housing securely. For compressed air systems. ensure the flow direction is correct (usually inward to outward).
5. Repressurize the system slowly and check for any leaks.
Q: Is the cotton material organic?
A: The standard cartridge uses high-quality pure cotton. For organic certification, please contact us for specific product availability.
Q: Can it be used with water?
A: Yes, it can be used with water. However, when wet, the cotton will swell slightly, which may tighten the pore structure and increase pressure drop.
Q: How does it compare to a PP filter for oil removal?
A: Cotton is generally superior for absorbing liquid oil aerosols due to its natural affinity for hydrocarbons, whereas PP is better for solid particle removal in liquids.
