Depth filtration, as it suggests, is the process of filtering through a depth of media to effectively trap and retain various particulate. Commonly specified in a variety of applications, depth filtration is often relied upon as the first stage of a filtration cascade, however advanced manufacturing techniques have developed this method of filtration, reliably and accurately improving downstream filtration. The SPECTRUM range of depth filters include the traditional ‘string wound’ options, good for high temperature and chemical compatibility through to the modern technology of spun bonded cartridges, which offer a higher level of filtration efficiency and improved particulate accuracy.
With higher efficiency and a longer service life than both the Economic and Standard spun, the PSP is the most versatile and adept cartridge in the TruDepth range. The deep grooved construction significantly increases the surface area, maximising the dirt holding capacity of the cartridge whilst the integral support core increases pressure and temperature operating conditions. Available with a range of end-caps for added seal security and operator ease for fitting in multi-round housings.
Where long life, high purity and low change-outs are required, the Purtrex range meets the requirements of most non-critical applications or as an economic pre-filter.The patented construction of this pure polypropylene, surfactant-free depth filter ensures low pressure drops, with exceptional dirt holding capabilities in standard as well as large diameter options, making it the next generation replacement product to wound and wrongly specified resin-bonded cartridges.Containing no anti-static wetting agents, solvents or binders the Purtrex’s one-step manufacturing process continuously extrudes and thermally bonds pure polypropylene microfibers into a complex filter matrix. Micro-filaments plus precise fibre control maximizes the positive filtration characteristics of the graded density, tight cut-offs and maximum void areas with millions of tortuous paths.Material of Construction

5x Genuine Aquafilter 10" x 2.5” 1,5,10,20,50 Micron Sediment Removal Water Filter Cartridge FCPS5AQUAFILTER FCPS5 series cartridges are NSF certified using FDA approved polypropylene for material requirements.The construction of this pure polypropylene, surfactant-free depth filter ensures low pressure drops, with exceptional dirt holding capabilities.FCPSx uses no resin binders, lubricants, anti-static or release agents or other chemical additives.The one-step manufacturing process continuously extrudes and thermally bonds pure polypropylene micro-fibres into a complex filter matrix.Cartridges are characterized by excellent sediment absorption of sand, silt, rust and suspended solids from potable water.Polypropylene fibres are chemical resistant and prevent development of microorganisms. In addition, these filter cartridges effectively protect expensive home appliances and residential plumbing systems.FCPSx series cartridges are an ideal true depth filters and can be used for filtration of cold potable water.Aquafilter wide range of melt-blown cartridges has multiple fibre zones.These multi-fibre zones provide a graded pore structure throughout the filter's depth.Our filter cartridges have been designed to capture and retain contaminants throughout the entire cross section of the filter.The multiple fibre zones give our filter cartridges a major competitive advantage over other melt-blown filters with fewer pore size gradients in their structure.Aquafilter melt-blown filters demonstrate true graded depth filtration, the results are long filter service life, therefore lower consumable costs.The new, modern, automatic manufacturing equipment used to produce our wide range of melt-blown cartridge filters delivers consistently efficient filters at low costs
