PPD capsules are made with polypropylene microfiber media. Designed with the optimal filtration area, the filters remove large amounts of particulate and other contaminants. PPD capsules protect critical membrane filters downstream by removing 99.9% of contaminants at the rated pore size.

Specific applications for PPD capsule filters include pre-filtration of bulk pharmaceutical chemicals, water, buffers, solvents, alcohols and other liquids. PPD capsules also protect membrane filters in filling applications for SVPs, LVPs, diagnostics, ophthalmics, biologicals and other products. Polypropylene exhibits broad chemical compatibility, so it is particularly suited for the filtration of chemicals and solvents used in drug making processes. PPD capsule elements are integrity tested during manufacture and are flushed to assure cleanliness in critical process applications

CW Yarn Wound Filter Cartridges are manufactured with high grade yarns that assure a consistent product. Designed for a wide spectrum of applications from process water to harsh chemicals to high temperature filtration, the CW cartridges are an economical solution for particulate removal in challenging environments. Choose from a wide selection of media, support core materials and pore sizes from 0.5 micron to 300 microns to meet your requirements.

Bag-Sized Cartridges

Absolute-rated units provide up to 12 times more dirt-holding capacity

Bag-sized cartridges combine the best features of filter bags and cartridges into one single unit. Like bags, these bag-sized pleated cartridges are easy to handle and trap contaminant inside, preventing “WASH OFF” when removing spent or dirty cartridges. Like cartridge elements, they provide larger surface areas and greater dirt-holding capacities than standard bags. They are the ideal solution when frequent servicing of filters is a problem.

Construction

These bag-sized pleated cartridges are unique. Twenty-five* square feet of high efficiency material is sandwiched between two flow-enhancing, coarse-mesh screens, and then pleated in a supported construction. This supported pleat construction ensures flow cannot be pinched off. It also greatly strengthens the overall integrity of the element. The seams in these units are ultrasonically welded, not sewn, to prevent leakage or contamination bypass. The top sealing ring and cartridge bottom, made of solid molded polypropylene, are sonically welded to the pleated cylinder.

Features

• Eleven micron retention ratings from 1 to 110 at 95% efficiency, are available
• Three different top sealing ring designs – one to fit your needs
• Available in standard bag sizes 1 and 2,to fit housings 8-15 and 8-30
• Low pressure drop
• Greater Capacity Means Longer Life

Low-Cost, High-Capacity Disposable Bag-Sized Pleated Cartridge

Bag and basket in one easy to throw away element.

These new filter elements are easily installed in standard filtration housings, replacing both the basket and filter bag, with one unit that has much more surface area than standard bags. These elements look like a standard strainer basket, with an installed heavy duty cellulose pleat pack, having over 11 times the square footage of surface area than a standard bag. This provides maximum dirt retention capabilities at 99% (Beta 100) absolute ratings, at very low cost

Features

• Basket Style housing seals like a standard strainer basket
• Cellulose Pleat Pack with over 50 square feet of surface area
• Metal support basket has 9/64” perforations for high flow rate
• Beta 100 (99%) absolute Micron Retention Levels
• Longer Element Life provides improved system efficiency Benefits
• Fewer Change-outs required
• Less Downtime

Emerald Series 700 Oil/Water Separation Cartridge

Cost Effective solution to Environmental Applications

Emerald Series oil/water separation cartridges utilizes a proprietary design, using segregated flow chambers. These chambers greatly expand the contact between the surface area of the elements and fluid being filtered, maximizing efficiency. The 6.25” OD cartridge houses several layers of filtration media, increasing the oil holding capacity to optimum effect.

The filter cartridge is design to hold more than six liters of oil, before reaching the maximum dp of 35 psi. Once the cartridge reaches the 35 psid, a built-in flow cutoff provides positive indication for cartridge change out before oil bypass occurs.

At the recommended maximum flow rate of 15 gpm, the Emerald Series 700 filter is the best solution for reaching optimum oil/water separation at minimum cost.

Features

• 120 sq. ft. of surface area
• 6.25 diameter and 35-inch length
• Fits into standard Model 8, Polypropylene, and Multi-cartridge housings

Stainless Steel Filter Cartridges

Fit most cartridge-type housings in the field

Overcome the temperature and compatibility limitations of fabric or synthetic fiber cartridges by replacing them with these stainless steel wire cloth elements. They’re good up to 500ºF instead of the usual 250ºF, and they are unaffected by most caustic fluids.

Made entirely of 304 or 316 stainless steel, they are cleanable and reusable, and can withstand differential pressures up to 60 psi. (500 psid units are also available.) You can choose particle retention ratings as fine as 5 microns.

Element surfaces can be plain cylindrical, or pleated to increase surface area. Pleated units rated 100 microns or finer have an underlying support layer of coarser mesh to prevent pleat collapse. Fabrication is by welding and crimping; no silver brazing or epoxy bonding is used.

A “bubble pointing” test can be done to certify that no openings larger than the specified pore size exist in product joints or seams. Ask for more information about this.

Seals are not glued onto the cartridge ends as is commonly done. Instead, they are specially shaped to hold in place mechanically, like a grommet. There’s little chance they will be dislodged and lost in handling. They are made in different thicknesses to provide seven different standard overall element lengths.

Absolute Pleated Cartridges

High efficiency cartridges–Long service life

These filter cartridges provide efficient solids removal in liquid systems where series filtration is not required. Absolute Ratings range from 0.5 to 70 microns.

Each cartridge has pleated, fixed pore media to maximize surface area, prevent particle unloading, and fiber migration. Media selections include cellulose, fiberglass, polyester, and polypropylene.

The wide variety of media, filter sizes, and end cap configurations provide customers with the preferred cartridge for their specific application.

Superior construction materials and quality control techniques ensure that our filter cartridges will provide quality filtration, even in harsh operating conditions.

You now have a cartridge filter able to utilize any standard cartridge. Baskets fit standard models 4-12, 8-15, and 8-30 housings. Construction materials are either 304 stainless or 316 stainless steel.

Wound Cartridge Elements

All-purpose elements have high dirt-holding capacity

These continuous-wound cartridge elements come in a wide range of materials, lengths, and micron retention ratings. A highly innovative single-core design is used, eliminating the “joints” common in other manufacturers’ elements at 10″ intervals. Materials of these elements include cotton, nylon, glass, and polypropylene. Their lengths range form 9-3/4 inches to 40 inches, fitting most cartridge housings in the field. Micron retention ratings are from 200 down to 0.5 microns. These elements offer true depth filtration, higher efficiency, lower pressure drop, and greater solids holding capacity than standard elements and competitive prices.

A full range of center core materials are offered to meet specific filtration requirements. Extended core materials are also available upon request.

The center core covering, for reducing fiber migration, is compatible with and equivalent in ratings to the micron rating of the filter element. The inside diameter of all cartridges is 1 inch and the outside diameter is 2-1/2 inches.

Turn Bag Housings Into Cartridge Filters!

Basket holds cartridges inside a bag housing!

This is a newly designed bag filter converter into which filter cartridges are installed. Thus, the bag filter can be quickly converted to a cartridge filter. Simply put, there are applications that call for a bag filter and others that call for a cartridge filter. Until now, it wasn’t very easy to change between the two.

If it becomes necessary to change from bags to cartridges – install the Converter Basket.

• Remove the original basket
• Install the new converter basket
• Load the cartridges
• Unique design prevents clean side contamination by removing basket from housing before removing cartridges from converter
