HFU660UY700J is a robust pleated filter cartridge engineered for mid-to-high intensity industrial water treatment pre-filtration applications. It adopts a high-density melt-blown polypropylene (PP) filter medium, paired with a reinforced polypropylene internal support frame and a high-seal ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) gasket. Featuring a standard 6-inch (152mm) outer diameter and optional lengths of 20”, 40”, and 60”, the cartridge employs a rod-free pleat structure to maximize effective filtration area and minimize flow resistance. Produced via a full hot-melt welding process, it eliminates adhesive leakage risks and complies with FDA food contact safety standards and ISO 9001 quality management system requirements. This product is dedicated to removing suspended solids, colloidal particles, and large particulate impurities from water, delivering reliable protection for downstream equipment such as reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, ultrafiltration (UF) modules, and precision fluid pumps in diverse industrial settings.
Filtration Precision
The standard filtration precision of HFU660UY700J is 70μm, achieving 99.9% interception efficiency for particles of 70μm and above under rated operating conditions. For customized application requirements, it can be tailored to precision levels ranging from 1μm to 100μm, covering both fine filtration needs for high-purity process water and coarse filtration demands for wastewater pretreatment. This precise grading capability ensures consistent filtrate quality across different water treatment systems, preventing particulate abrasion and clogging of core downstream equipment.
Flux
Flux is a core performance indicator of HFU660UY700J. Under standard test conditions (25°C, clean tap water, 1.0 bar operating pressure), the 60-inch length model delivers a flux of 75–95 m³/h; the 40-inch model achieves a flux of 55–65 m³/h; and the 20-inch model provides a flux of 28–33 m³/h. This high-flux performance stems from its optimized pleat density (110 pleats per linear foot) and high-permeability PP filter medium, which reduces flow resistance and improves water throughput. Compared with conventional filter cartridges of the same specification, it can reduce the number of parallel cartridges by 28%, thus saving installation space and system investment costs.
Salt Rejection Rate
As a particulate filtration cartridge, HFU660UY700J is not designed for desalination functions, so its salt rejection rate is negligible, generally below 2.2%. Its core function is to remove physical impurities rather than dissolved ionic substances in water. In integrated water treatment systems, it serves as a critical pre-treatment component, preventing particulate contaminants from adhering to RO membrane surfaces or blocking membrane pores, thereby ensuring the stable high salt rejection rate (typically 96–99%) of downstream desalination equipment.
Pressure Drop
The initial pressure drop of HFU660UY700J at rated flow and 20°C is only 0.06–0.09 bar, which is lower than that of traditional filter cartridges of the same specification. As the filtration process proceeds and impurities accumulate on the filter medium surface, the pressure drop will gradually rise. The recommended maximum allowable pressure drop for replacement is 2.5 bar. Maintaining a low pressure drop minimizes the energy consumption of system water pumps, reduces pipeline operating pressure, and extends the service life of the entire water treatment system.
Molecular Weight Cutoff (MWCO)
Since HFU660UY700J relies on particle size-based filtration rather than molecular separation, its molecular weight cutoff (MWCO) is not a core technical parameter and lacks precise calibration. In practical applications, it can roughly intercept macromolecular substances with a molecular weight of 170,000–370,000 Daltons, such as large colloidal organic matter, microbial flocs, and polymer additives in water. However, it has no interception effect on small-molecular substances including inorganic salts, monosaccharides, and small-molecular organic acids.
Membrane Thickness
The filter membrane thickness of HFU660UY700J is precisely controlled at 0.18–0.22 mm, a balanced design that takes into account filtration efficiency, dirt-holding capacity, and water permeability. The moderate thickness ensures the membrane has sufficient mechanical strength to resist water flow impact and backwashing pressure without deformation or rupture. Additionally, the membrane surface is treated with an anti-adhesion coating, which reduces the adhesion of impurities and maintains stable flux during long-term continuous operation.
Replacement Cycle
The replacement cycle of HFU660UY700J is determined by raw water turbidity, operating flow rate, and system pressure drop, with significant variability across different application scenarios. In clean industrial process water with turbidity below 4 NTU, the replacement cycle can reach 4–6 months; in high-turbidity water environments such as municipal wastewater pretreatment or surface water treatment with turbidity above 50 NTU, the cycle needs to be shortened to 1–1.5 months. In addition, once the system pressure drop reaches the recommended replacement threshold of 2.5 bar, the cartridge should be replaced immediately, regardless of the service time, to avoid system efficiency degradation or equipment damage caused by excessive pressure.
