BIG PLEAT filters are designed with graded, multilayer non-woven polypropylene media, optimized for high flowrate processes with variable particle sizes. Their robust structure ensures extended life and reduces cartridge change-out frequency.
Built with high-pleat geometry, M3 filters maximize usable surface area for large volume applications. Their outside-to-inside flow design ensures low pressure drop, and pleat packs can be tailored with multiple media layers for a higher
dirt-holding capacity.
These filters are designed specifically for high flow and high dirt-load environments, combining large diameter formats with pleated polypropylene construction. HFC elements are commonly used in water treatment, process fluids, and chemical polishing steps.
- Unique Construction
- Key Features & Benefits
- Media Compatibility
- Applications
All pleated and high-flow models are built with a depth-style pleated media structure that increases effective surface area and retention performance. Depending on the product type, they use either single-layer or multilayer pleat packs, supported by rigid polypropylene or polyester frames. Welded or thermally bonded construction eliminates adhesives, reducing contamination risks and improving chemical compatibility. Certain high-flow filters can also be custom-configured with PES membranes to enable bacterial retention, extending their use into more critical applications without compromising flow capacity.
- Consistent Fine Retention: Each model delivers absolute-rated filtration, ensuring precise and reliable particle removal.
- Extended Operational Life: The large surface area of pleated designs supports higher dirt loads and longer service intervals.
- Efficient Flow Dynamics: These filters are engineered to reduce pressure drop, making them ideal for high-flow environments.
- Chemical Compatibility: A wide range of materials ensures suitability for aggressive fluids and varied process conditions.
- Application-specific Pleating: Custom pleat geometries and multi-layer builds support unique process requirements.
- Housing Adaptability: Standard sizes and endcap types allow easy integration into most industrial filtration setups.
- PLEAT Models: Available in polypropylene, polyester, cellulose, and glass fiber for different process needs.
- BIG PLEAT: Constructed from multilayer non-woven polypropylene to handle mixed particle sizes.
- M3 and HFC: Designed using pleated polypropylene for high flow and high dirt-loading capacity.
- All Models: Built with polypropylene or polyester supports, ensuring durability and media stability.
- Food and Beverage Final Polishing: Used to ensure clarity and microbial reduction before packaging or final use.
- Pharmaceutical Pre-filtration: Applied for membrane protection and upstream clarification in validated processes.
- Chemical and Water Filtration: Handles high-volume fluids in treatment lines and bulk chemical delivery systems.
- Industrial Fluids and Coatings: Effective for filtration of paints, solvents, oils, and process by-products.
- Water Injection and Membrane Protection: Common in oil and gas, electronics, and utility water filtration systems.
