Advantages & Features
2.1 High Filtration Efficiency
Boasting high rejection rates, the PP microporous pleated filter element effectively captures a wide range of contaminants, including suspended solids, particles, water dirt, bacteria, algae, and rust. This ensures that the filtered liquid meets stringent purity standards, which is crucial in industries such as pharmaceuticals and electronics where even minute impurities can compromise product quality.
2.2 Excellent Flow Performance
With high flow flux and low pressure difference, the filter element allows for a smooth and efficient passage of liquids. This not only maintains a consistent flow rate in industrial processes but also reduces energy consumption by minimizing the resistance to fluid flow. It ensures that production lines can operate without disruptions caused by inadequate liquid supply.
2.3 Wide Chemical Compatibility
The PP material used in the filter element exhibits excellent resistance to a variety of chemicals, making it suitable for use in diverse industrial environments. Whether dealing with acidic, alkaline, or organic solvents, the filter element remains stable and effective, expanding its application range across petroleum, chemical, and other chemical-intensive industries.
2.4 Purity Assurance
The unique hot-melt welding processing technology eliminates the need for adhesives. This prevents the release of any foreign matter or harmful substances into the filtered liquid, ensuring that the product meets the strict hygiene and safety requirements of food, beverage, beer, pharmaceutical, and related industries.
2.5 High Dirt Retention Capacity
Designed with a density classification structure that captures particles deeply, the filter element has a high dirt retention capacity. The surface of the filter element faces the center, with density gradually increasing. This allows for effective capturing of particles of different sizes, maximizing the filter element’s effectiveness. Higher dirt retention capacity translates to a longer service life and reduced replacement frequency, leading to significant cost savings in the long run.
2.6 Easy Installation and Replacement
The filter element is designed for easy installation and replacement, minimizing downtime during maintenance. Its standardized dimensions ensure compatibility with a wide range of filter housings, making it a convenient choice for industrial facilities.
Structure Specification
3.1 Material
The core material is polypropylene (PP), which is chosen for its chemical inertness, durability, and purity. The microporous membrane is made from PP, ensuring consistent filtration performance and compatibility with various liquids.
3.2 Pleated Design
The microporous membrane is folded into a pleated structure, which significantly increases the filtration surface area. This design allows for a higher flow rate and greater dirt holding capacity compared to non-pleated filter elements of the same size.
3.3 Construction
The filter element typically consists of a pleated PP microporous membrane, supported by inner and outer cores. The cores are also made of PP, providing structural stability to the pleated membrane. The ends of the filter element are sealed using hot-melt welding, ensuring a tight and secure fit without the use of adhesives.
3.4 Pore Size
The pore size of the PP microporous membrane varies to meet different filtration requirements, ranging from 0.22μm to 10μm. This allows for precise filtration, with smaller pore sizes suitable for applications requiring sterile filtration, such as in the pharmaceutical industry, and larger pore sizes for general particle removal.
3.5 Dimensions
The filter element comes in various standard dimensions, including lengths such as 10″, 20″, 30″, and 40″, and diameters that fit common filter housings. Custom sizes can also be manufactured to meet specific industrial needs.
