Types of Pleated Filter Cartridges We Offer
We manufacture a wide range of pleated filters, tailored to various industry needs:
Made with polypropylene media, these cartridges are ideal for general purpose filtration in water treatment, chemical processing, and food production. Resistant to corrosion and chemicals.
PES (polyethersulfone) filters are commonly used in pharmaceutical and biotech applications. They provide excellent flow rates and low protein binding, making them perfect for sterile filtration.
For aggressive chemical and gas filtration, PTFE cartridges provide high chemical resistance and excellent temperature tolerance. Commonly used in electronics, laboratories, and gas purification.

Glass Fiber Filter Cartridge
Designed for high dirt-holding capacity and high-temperature applications. Suitable for process filtration in power plants and petrochemical industries.

Nylon Pleated Filter Cartridge
Nylon filter cartridges are hydrophilic and naturally wettable, offering excellent chemical resistance and high flow rates.

PVDF Pleated Filter Cartridge
PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride) pleated filters are known for their superior thermal stability, chemical resistance, and low extractables.

Key Feature of Pleated Filter Cartridge?
A pleated filter cartridge is a cylindrical filter element with folded or pleated filtering media. These pleats increase the surface area, allowing for higher dirt-holding capacity and extended service life. The core function of a pleated cartridge is to remove contaminants from liquids or gases through surface and depth filtration.
Key features include:
High filtration efficiency
Low pressure drop
Broad chemical compatibility
Multiple micron ratings (0.1μm–50μm)
Wide range of lengths and end cap configurations
