The Glass Fiber Wound Filter Cartridge is engineered for applications requiring high efficiency and thermal stability. Constructed from fine glass microfibers wound around a core, this high temperature water filter delivers superior depth filtration performance. It is designed to handle hot oils and solvents and achieve finer micron ratings than standard PP cartridges. Its high accuracy filtration makes it indispensable in critical industries like pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, and electronics.
Exceptional Thermal Resistance: This glass fiber filter cartridge can withstand continuous operating temperatures up to 120°C (248°F), making it unparalleled for filtering hot process fluids, heat transfer oils, and sterilized fluids where other filters would fail.
High-Efficiency Particle Removal: The fine glass microfibers create a complex matrix that captures sub-micron particles with high efficiency. It is available in 1 micron absolute and other tight ratings, providing exceptional fluid clarity.
High Dirt Load Capacity: The random fiber orientation and depth loading design provide a large surface area for contaminant entrapment. This results in a longer service life and reduced change frequency, even in challenging conditions.
Broad Compatibility: The inert glass fiber material is compatible with a wide range of chemicals, solvents, and oils, excluding strong hydrofluoric and phosphoric acids. It is a versatile solution for aggressive media.

Hot Oil Filtration: Used in hydraulic systems, heat transfer systems, and lubricating oil circuits to remove carbon and wear particles at elevated temperatures.
Solvent Clarification: Essential in the paint, ink, and coating industries for removing agglomerates and impurities from solvents and final products without introducing fibers.
High-Purity Prefiltration: Serves as a critical pre-filter for membrane systems in pharmaceutical and electronic ultrapure water production, protecting them from fine particulates.
1. Ensure the system and fluid have cooled to a safe handling temperature if used for hot media.
2. Depressurize and open the filter housing. Handle the cartridge carefully to avoid skin irritation from fibers.
3. Discard the used cartridge, clean the housing, and install the new one.
4. Prime the cartridge slowly with the fluid to be filtered to wet out the fibers and release entrapped air.
5. Secure the housing, pressurize the system, and check for leaks.
Q: Do these cartridges shed fibers?
A: High-quality cartridges are manufactured with binders and are thoroughly flushed to prevent fiber shedding. Always flush the cartridge before use as per the guide.
Q: Can it be used for drinking water?
A: Typically, no. Standard glass fiber cartridges are not certified for potable water. They are intended for industrial and process applications.
Q: How do I dispose of a used glass fiber cartridge?
A: Dispose of it as solid industrial waste according to local regulations. Do not incinerate.
