Filter Cartridge
Find a Cartridge Filter solution for good desalination results with us
A cartridge filter is a filter component used to separate dirt, particles, or contaminants from a fluid - it can be water, oil, air, or other chemicals - using a cylindrical filter media (cartridge) mounted in a housing (filter housing).
Here is a more complete explanation
General Definition
Cartridge filters work by forcing fluid through filter media (usually from the outside to the inside or vice versa). This media can be made of:
- 
Polypropylene (PP) 
- 
Cotton or synthetic fibers 
- 
Cellulose paper 
- 
Ceramic 
- 
Activated carbon 
- 
Porous metal (stainless steel mesh) 
Particles larger than the pore size of the filter media will be retained, while clean fluid will exit from the other side.
Main Function
- 
Filters dust, mud, rust, sand, and other impurities from liquids or gases. 
- 
Protects pumps, pipes, and process equipment from particle damage. 
- 
Used in pre-filtration before fine filtration systems (such as RO membranes). 
- 
Improves the quality of water or process fluid in industry. 
Types of Filter Cartridges
- 
Depth Filter 
 Captures particles throughout the thickness of the filter media. Suitable for large particles and high dirt loads.
 Example: Melt-blown polypropylene, wound filter.
- 
Pleated Filter 
 Has a large surface area due to folding, efficient for fine filtration (small microns).
 Widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and electronics industries.
- 
Activated Carbon Cartridge 
 Contains activated carbon to absorb odors, chlorine, and organic chemicals.
General Applications
- 
Drinking water industry (water treatment) 
- 
Pharmaceutical & food 
- 
Automotive and industrial machinery 
- 
Oil and gas industry 
- 
Laboratory and electronics 
Size & Capacity
- 
Generally available in lengths of 10", 20", 30", up to 40" 
- 
Filtration rating: 0.2 micron to 100 micron 
- 
Capacity depends on working pressure, fluid viscosity and media surface area.
