FiltaPleat HFC

HIGH
FLOW FILTER CARTRIDGES


 

FiltaPleat HFC High Surface Area Cartridges utilises pleated depth media offering maximum efficiency and exceptionally high flow capabilities. Developed to suit industrial processes where high performance is required, the low pressure loss and high dirt capacity makes it the ideal choice for fine polishing applications. In-house developments have optimised the pleat pack ensuring rigidity is maintained at all flow rates.

Two media options are offered as standard, the PP and GP. The PP features the specific CRY Cryptosporidium grade designed for Food and Beverage applications. The standard range is manufactured using all polypropylene end caps and internal support core. Filtermat Filters also offers cartridges manufactured with stainless steel cage and core and nylon end fittings. These are particularly suited for applications where higher temperature ratings are required or compatibility may be an issue. Thermal welding processes seal all components, eliminating adhesives and extractables and optimising cartridge integrity.
