Metallic High Flow Filter Cartridge

Product description

High flow pleated metallic filter cartridge for demanding industrial filtration

Metallic High Flow Filter Cartridges are designed for industrial liquid filtration applications where very high flow rates, fine filtration efficiency and long service life are required. The pleated depth media construction provides an exceptionally large filtration surface, allowing high throughput with low pressure loss.

These cartridges are developed for processes where performance, reliability and cleanable metallic construction are essential. The rigid pleat pack design ensures mechanical stability even at high flow rates and under varying operating conditions.

Filtration principle

Metallic High Flow Filter Cartridges operate using pleated depth filtration. Process fluid flows through the pleated metallic filter media, where particles are retained within the depth of the media structure.

This filtration method provides:

• very high flow capacity

• low pressure drop at high throughput

• high dirt holding capacity

• consistent and reliable filtration efficiency

• suitability for fine polishing applications

The pleated design maximises effective filtration area within a compact high flow cartridge format.

Construction and materials

Metallic High Flow Filter Cartridges feature a fully pleated metallic filter design with thermally bonded construction to ensure cartridge integrity and eliminate bypass.

Materials of construction

Filter media options:

• Stainless steel 316L

Internal components:

• Inner core: stainless steel 316L

• Outer cage: stainless steel 316L

• End caps: stainless steel 316L

Sealing materials available:

• EPDM

• Buna-N

• Silicone

• Viton

• FEP

The all-metal construction allows use in applications requiring higher temperature resistance and wide chemical compatibility.

Performance characteristics

Typical performance characteristics include:

• very large filtration surface area per cartridge

• absolute rated filtration for consistent performance

• low pressure loss even at high flow rates

• high dirt holding capacity

• stable pleat structure under all operating conditions

The rigid pleat pack design maintains performance and prevents media deformation at elevated flow rates.
