Cartridge Filters About

WHAT IS A CARTRIDGE FILTER?

A cartridge filter is a modular filtration device used to remove contaminants from liquids or gases. It consists of a replaceable filter cartridge housed inside a filter housing. The media inside the cartridge traps solid particles while allowing clean fluid to pass through.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

1. Contaminated fluid enters the filter housing.
2. Fluid flows through the cartridge element (outside-to-inside or inside-to-outside).
3. Solids are captured on the cartridge surface or within its depth.
4. Filtered fluid exits, leaving particles trapped.
5. Cartridge is replaced or cleaned periodically.

TYPES OF CARTRIDGE FILTERS

By Media Type:

Type	Description
Depth Filters	Capture particles throughout the media thickness (e.g.spun-bonded PP).
Surface Filters	Capture particles only on the surface (e.g. pleated media).
Membrane Filters	Fine filtration for microbial or sub-micron particles.

By Cartridge Material:

• Polypropylene (PP)general purpose, chemical-resistant
• Glass Fiberhigh dirt holding capacity
• PTFEchemical/pharmaceutical use
• Stainless Steel Mesh washable, reusable

By Structure:

• Pleated Cartridge high surface area, long life
• Melt-Blown Cartridge economical, depth filtration
• Wound Cartridgelayered filtration
• Sintered Cartridge metal or plastic, for harsh environments

Industrial:

• Coolants, cutting fluids, hydraulic oils
• Paints and inks
• RO and water pre-filtration

Water Treatment:

• Drinking water, RO, and DI systems
• Well and borewell water filtration

Pharma & Food:

• Injectable water
• Juice/beverage filtration
• Biotech/sterile environments

Process Industries:

• Petrochemicals, Power plants
• Paper and pulp
• Metal processing
