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

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pleated water filter cartridge and how does it work?
A pleated water filter cartridge uses folded filter media to increase surface area, capturing more dirt and particles. This design provides higher filtration efficiency and longer service life compared to traditional depth filters.
Which materials are available for pleated sediment filters?
We offer pleated sediment filters in polypropylene (PP), polyester, and cellulose blends. Each material is selected based on chemical compatibility, temperature resistance, and the specific needs of industrial or commercial applications.
What micron ratings are offered for pleated membrane cartridges?
Our pleated membrane cartridges are available in micron ratings from 0.1 to 100 μm. This wide range allows them to handle fine particle removal, sediment reduction, and microbial control in various filtration systems.
Are pleated polyester filters reusable?
Yes, pleated polyester filters can be washed and reused in certain applications. Their durable media and rigid construction make them ideal for situations where extended use and repeated cleaning are needed.
What are the advantages of using a pleated PP cartridge?
A pleated PP cartridge offers excellent chemical resistance, high dirt-holding capacity, and low pressure drop. It is widely used in water treatment, food processing, and chemical industries for reliable filtration.
Can pleated filter elements be used for high-flow systems?
Yes, pleated filter elements are designed for high-flow applications while maintaining low pressure drop. Their increased surface area allows efficient filtration without reducing flow rates.
How long do pleated micron filters typically last?
The lifespan of a pleated micron filter depends on water quality and system conditions. In most cases, they last 3–6 months before replacement, but this can vary with usage and cleaning frequency.
Are these filters suitable for hot water applications?
Certain pleated cartridges, such as polyester and PTFE types, are suitable for high-temperature filtration. They are commonly used in hot water systems and industrial processes with elevated temperatures.
Can pleated cartridges handle aggressive chemicals?
Yes, our pleated PP and PTFE cartridges are designed to resist acids, alkalis, and solvents. This makes them ideal for chemical processing, electroplating, and other demanding industrial environments.
Do you offer custom sizes for pleated water filter cartridges?
We can produce pleated water filter cartridges in custom lengths, diameters, and end-cap configurations. This ensures compatibility with different filter housings and specific system requirements.
Are pleated membrane cartridges certified for food contact?

Do pleated sediment filters remove both dirt and microorganisms?
Certain pleated sediment filters can remove particles as well as bacteria when using fine micron ratings, especially membrane-based designs that target microbial reduction.
How are pleated PP cartridges installed in filtration systems?
Pleated PP cartridges fit into standard filter housings with double open ends (DOE) or single open ends (SOE). Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools in most cases.
What is the pressure drop across a pleated filter element?
Pleated filter elements are designed to maintain a low initial pressure drop due to their large surface area, ensuring energy-efficient operation and extended filter life.
Can pleated micron filters be used as pre-filters?
Yes, pleated micron filters are often used as pre-filters to protect more expensive final filters, such as reverse osmosis membranes, by removing larger particles first.
