High Flow Cartridge Filter is a large-diameter, pleated filter cartridge specially designed to handle high flow rates and long service life with fewer cartridges compared to conventional filters. These are widely used in industrial water treatment, power plants, petrochemicals, food & beverage, and pharmaceuticals.
High Flow Capacity: Each cartridge can handle 20–70 m³/hr depending on design and fluid type.
Large Diameter: Typically 6"–6.75" (152–165 mm) diameter, with lengths of 20", 40", or 60".
Pleated Construction: Provides high filtration area, reduces pressure drop, and extends service life.
A cartridge filter is a depth-type filter element used in water treatment, process filtration, and various industrial applications. Two commonly used types are Spun (Melt Blown) cartridge filters and Wound cartridge filters. Here’s a clear comparison:
Construction: Made from continuous polypropylene fibers produced by a melt-blown process. The fibers are thermally bonded, forming a gradient density structure (denser inside, looser outside).
Appearance: Smooth, uniform surface.
Filtration: Depth filtration with graded porosity – outer layer traps larger particles, inner layer traps finer particles.
Micron Ratings: 0.5 to 100 micron.
Construction: Made by winding yarn (polypropylene, cotton, polyester, or glass fiber) around a central core (stainless steel, PP, or tin-plated steel). Winding tension creates variable density.
Appearance: Thread/yarn-wound pattern with visible grooves.
Filtration: Depth filtration – outer layers for coarse particles, inner for fine.
Micron Ratings: 0.5 to 150 micron.
