Our Pleated Filter Cartridge is a high-efficiency, disposable pleated filter designed for superior surface filtration. Constructed from high-quality polypropylene media, its unique pleated design significantly increases the effective filtration area, resulting in an exceptional high dirt capacity. Ideal for protecting downstream equipment, this polypropylene pleated filter is a versatile solution for various industrial pre-filtration applications, providing longer service life and reduced change frequency.
Exceptional Dirt Holding Capacity: The extensive pleated design provides a large surface area, allowing this pleated sediment filter cartridge to hold a substantial amount of contaminants before a noticeable pressure drop occurs, maximizing operational uptime.
Consistent Surface Filtration: Unlike depth filters, it primarily captures particles on its surface, which helps to maintain a consistent flow rate throughout much of its service life and prevents premature clogging.
Robust Construction: Made from 100% polypropylene, including the media, core, and end caps, it offers excellent chemical compatibility and is resistant to biological growth, ensuring integrity in harsh environments.
Cost-Effective Performance: Despite its superior performance, it remains an economically efficient choice for continuous operations, offering excellent value due to its extended lifespan and reliable particle removal capabilities.
Filter Media | Polypropylene (PP) |
Filtration Type | Surface Filtration |
Filtration Accuracy | 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50 Micron |
Max Operating Temperature | ≤ 60°C (140°F) |
Max Differential Pressure | 0.2 MPa (29 PSI) |
End Cap Material | Polypropylene |
Industrial Pre-Filtration: Widely used as a pre-filter for reverse osmosis systems, UV sterilizers, and ion exchange columns to remove sediments and protect sensitive downstream equipment.
Chemical Processing: Ideal for filtering acids, alkalis, and solvents in chemical manufacturing and plating baths due to its excellent acid and alkali resistant properties.
Industrial Equipment Protection: Installed in-line to protect pumps, nozzles, and meters from abrasive particles in coolants, process water, and wash-down systems.
1. Turn off the water supply and release pressure from the housing.
2. Unscrew the sump and remove the old cartridge.
3. Clean the housing interior with clean water.
4. Insert the new pleated filter and reassemble the housing.
5. Turn on the water slowly and check for leaks.
6. Flush the cartridge for 5 minutes before use.
Q: Can I clean and reuse this pleated cartridge?
A: No, it is designed for single use. Cleaning can damage the delicate pleats and compromise its filtration efficiency. It should be replaced when clogged.
Q: What is the difference between nominal and absolute rating?
A: Nominal rating (e.g., 5μm) indicates the size of most particles removed, while absolute (e.g., 5μm absolute) means it will remove virtually all particles at that size. Our standard pleated cartridges are nominally rated.
Q: Is it suitable for high-temperature applications?
A: The standard polypropylene construction is rated for temperatures up to 60°C (140°F). For higher temperatures, please inquire about specialty materials.
