PTFE Pleated Filters

PTFE Pleated Filters with Chemical Resistance for Sterile Gas and Liquid Processing Applications

The folding cartridge takes film as the core, and the center rod and end cap of the cartridge shell are processed and shaped by hot-melt welding technology, without any adhesive, no leakage and no secondary pollution. According to different raw materials, the folding cartridge can be divided into PP folding cartridge, PTFE folding cartridge, PES folding cartridge and nylon folding cartridge.

PP pleated cartridge, as a raw material of pre-cartridge with only relative precision (very cheap), can only intercept larger gums and particles, and its role is to prevent large particles from blocking the terminal membrane and protect the back-end filtration. However, it has strong adsorption performance and large dirt-holding capacity, which cannot be achieved by PES and PTFE.

PTFE cartridge, generally can be divided into hydrophilic PTFE and hydrophobic PTFE two, due to PTFE unique four F atoms around the carbon structure, so that it has a strong chemical stability, strong acid resistance, strong alkali resistance, resistance to organic solvents. According to PTFE, the material itself is hydrophobic, while hydrophilic P TFE is treated, so the liquid flux of water PTFE membrane is poor. PTFE is a kind of filter membrane with certain precision, which can be used to sterilize the terminal liquid and gas.

PES folded cartridge, the filtration medium is currently the world’s excellent polyether sulfonate microporous filter membrane, accounting for more than 80% of the volume of the filter membrane. It has a unique microporous geometry, which improves the filtration power and flow rate of the solution that is difficult to filter. The combination of polyether sulfonate and polypropylene support material is selected to be thermally fused and free of binders, making it suitable for the demanding chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Main features: unique water performance, no surfactant and surface lubricant, high level of filtration precision and flow capacity for filtering solution, wide range of applicable PH, low adsorption of protein and precious biological agents, high retention rate, good chemical resistance and thermal stability, good strength, and resistance to positive and negative pressure impact.

Nylon folded cartridge, the filtration medium is hydrophilic nylon microporous membrane, the combination of postalon and polypropylene support material is hot-fused, no adhesive, no fiber shedding, suitable for chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Main features: stable hydrophilicity, strong flexibility, high retention rate, good chemical resistance, especially suitable for organic solvent filtration.

What are the advantages of PTFE cartridge

1、Allows high flow rate of media to pass through the filter media, which has the advantages of high efficiency and long life.
2、The folded cartridge’s external inlet and internal outlet structure makes it easy to replace the cartridge, while keeping the pollutants intercepted on the outside of the cartridge.
3、The folded cartridge has a pp support skeleton inside, which can withstand a pressure difference of about 0.245MPa.
4、The β value of the cartridge is more than 1000.
5、Multiple filter cartridges can be installed in the filter housing, which can be used in a wide range of flow rates, whether for start-up or continuous operation.
6、The cartridge is durable, and the filter is configured in an economical way.

What are the reasons for frequent damage

1, the raw water quality is poor, the filtration effect is unstable, causing regular fluctuations, resulting in too much particulate matter entering the cartridge, resulting in shortening the cycle.
2, pre-treatment effect is poor, pre-treatment added flocculant, scale inhibitor, etc. are not compatible with each other or with the water source does not match, the formation of sticky substances attached to the surface of the folded cartridge, resulting in the folded cartridge pore blockage, the effective filtration area is reduced, resulting in frequent replacement of the cartridge.
3, the quality of the folded cartridge is not good, the pore size inside and outside of the folded cartridge with poor quality is basically the same, in fact, only the outer layer plays an intercepting role, while the filtering pore size of the excellent cartridge is reduced step by step from the outside to the inside, and the filtration precision of the inner layer is 5μm-0.5μm, with a larger dirt-holding capacity, and the use of a long time can also ensure that the filtered water quality is qualified.

Folded cartridge as an important product in the filtration industry, its performance is very high, in the process of using folded cartridge we should not only choose the cartridge products of trustworthy manufacturers, as the time with gradually become longer, we also need to folded cartridge maintenance, so as to extend the service life of folded cartridge and reduce input costs.
