Filter Cartridge, Replacement Cartridges and Cartridge Filter Housings from Industrial Water Equipment Ltd

Pleated Standard Cartridge Filters

The range of Lifemax filters is the starting point for gaining the advantages pleated cartridges offer. A choice of three types of media - polyester, glass-fibre and polypropylene cover applications of low cost, high-flow or high-purity where chemical compatibility is required.

• Length as standard from 9.75" to 40" with custom manufacture of any size up to 40"

• High surface area with 67 pleat; custom cartridges from 38 to 78 pleats.

• Available in 64mm diameter to suit many electroplating housings.

Pleated Economy Cartridge Filters

ECP Series cartridges are manufactured from a special formulation of resin-impregnated cellulose and polyester fibres.

This unique blend of materials provides a higher wet strength than regular cellulose cartridges. It also provides high flow rates and dirt-holding capability, while maintaining extremely low pressure drops.

The media is pleated around a polypropylene core for added strength and the ends are immersed in a thermo-setting vinyl plasticol. Embedding and sealing each and of the pleat block in the fasion fuses the components together, forming a unified end-cap and gasket.

ECP series cartridge end-caps feature a colour coding system for easy identification of micron ratings: Tan1 (1 micron), White (5 micron), Blue (20 micron), Yellow (50 micron). Micron ratings are at 80%+ efficiency.

The New ecp range cartridges contain more media surface area than most competitive cartridges. The standard 10" ECP cartridge contains 6ft2 of media, where most cartridges contain only 4.5ft2. Additional ECP cartridges contain the following amount of media:

Standard 20" cartridge - 12ft2
10" BB Cartridge - 18ft2
20"BB Cartridge - 56ft2

Pleated Membrane Cartridge Filters

The GE Osmonics membrane filtration portfolio, Memtrex, has been developed over years to provide in-line security to suite a wide spectrum of applications. To claim such a broad capability, GE Osmonics employs the use of four types of media in seven formulations, ranging from 0.03 to 1 micron absolute ratings.

• Constructed from FDA acceptable materials suitable for use in articles intended for repeated food contact as specified in the United States Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21

• Temperature ratings are tested at 0.69 bar in water

• Forward flow maximum pressure differential of 4.14 bar

• Reverse flow maximum pressure differential of 2.07 bar

• lot-coded

• Passes USP23 oxidizable test

• Passes MEM Elution cytotoxicity test

• Meet the test criteria for USP24 Class VI-121ºC plastics

• Auotclavable at 121ºC or steam-in-place at 125ºC for 10 hours+ unless stated.

Centrifuge, Spin-Down™ Cartridge Filters

Fine, accurate filtration in cartridge format starts to become uneconomic when faced with larger particulate. At 100 micron plus, bag systems offer an effective solution in many industrial applications whereas numerous commercial applications can benefit from the inexpensive centrifuge unit, Spin-Down. The Spin-Down works by creating a spinning motion from top to bottom. Particulate continues to the lower section of the unit with clean water passing through the polyester filter screen and out the outlet port. In the sediment trap version, debris collects in the bottom half of the bowl allowing for longer intervals between conventionally flushing, using the 1/2" valve on the units base. The advantage of using a full length screen is higher flow rates. Spin-Down is available in 3/4" male threaded connections and 1", 1 1/2" and 2" female socket connections.

Filter Sleeves

Filter Sleeves provide surface filtration in the most popular configuration 10", allowing installation into all conventional 10" filter housings, as well as the miniature housings F10 and F20.

The range consists of seven grades from 5 to 350 micron. For finer filtration, 5 micron disposable, porous polyethylene should be used, with coarser applications using the nylon mesh sleeves in 50 micron (white), 100 micron (blue), 150 micron (brown), 200 micron (green), 350 micron (grey) , which are colour coded for convenience.
