Depth Filter Cartridge
High Quality Depth Filter Cartridge Manufacturer for Your Pre-filtration
OVERVIEW
Depth filter cartridges are widely used in a broad range of industries for reliable particle retention and consistent performance. Unlike surface filters that trap contaminants only on the outer layer, depth filter cartridges capture particles throughout the entire media matrix. This layered structure provides high dirt-holding capacity, longer service life, and better filtration efficiency across varying flow rates and viscosities.
As a professional depth filter cartridge manufacturer in China, we specialize in producing melt-blown and string wound filter cartridges that meet international quality standards. Whether you’re looking for depth filters for water purification, food & beverage production, pharmaceuticals, or chemical processing, we offer factory direct pricing, OEM/ODM customization, and fast global delivery.
Our filters are compatible with most standard filter housings and are available in multiple micron ratings, lengths, and end cap configurations to meet your system’s specific requirements.

How to Choose the Right Depth Filter Cartridge
Choosing the right depth filter cartridge depends on several technical factors related to your specific application, process conditions, and desired filtration outcome. Here’s what to consider:
1. Micron Rating
Determine the size of particles you need to remove. Common micron ratings range from 0.5μm for fine filtration (e.g., pharmaceuticals or final water polishing) to 50–100μm for pre-filtration or coarse contaminants.
2. Filter Media
For most general and chemical applications, melt-blown polypropylene filter cartridges are ideal. For higher temperature or more viscous fluids, consider string wound filters made from cotton, glass fiber, or polyester.
3. Flow Rate & Pressure
Check your system’s required flow rate and ensure the filter’s pressure drop at the selected micron rating and length is acceptable. A higher surface area generally means a lower pressure drop and longer service life.
4. Chemical Compatibility
Ensure the media material is compatible with the fluids being filtered. Polypropylene is chemically resistant and works well in most applications, but specialty media may be needed for solvents or aggressive chemicals.
5. Filter Length & End Caps
Match the cartridge length (5″, 10″, 20″, 30″, 40″) and end configuration (DOE, 222/fin, 226/flat, etc.) to your housing. We support full customization for both dimensions and connections.
