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.
Aquafilter FCPP10 series cartridges are made of FDA-approved polypropylene string wound on a polypropylene core which strenghtens the cartridge. It has a broad chemical compatibility, good temperature resistance and low cost. FCPP10 series cartridges are primarily used as the first stage of filtration of cold potable water. Cartridges are characterized by excellent sediment absorption of sand, silt, rust and suspended solids from potable water. In addition, these filter cartridges effectively protect expensive home appliances and residential pluming systems.Specifications:

Aquafilter FCPS20 10" 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. FCPS20 uses no resin binders, lubricants, antistatic or release agents or other chemical additives. The one-step manufacturing process continuously extrudes and thermally bonds pure polypropylene microfibres into a complex filter matrix. Cartridges are characterized by excellent sediment absorption of sand, silt, rust and suspended solids from potable water. Polypropylene fibers are chemical resistant and prevent development of microorganisms. In addition, these filter cartridges effectively protect expensive home appliances and residential pluming systems. FCPS20 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 fiber 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.Specifications:

TruDepth Standard spun cartridges from SPECTRUM are one of 4 cartridges available in the TruDepth range, alongside the Economic, Premier and High Efficiency cartridges. Each a different grade to match the wide variety of liquid applications where a broad range of particles are to be removed.Each grade is manufactured from only FDA compliant polypropylene with no binders, resins or glues ensuring no leeching into the liquid stream. All cartridges in the TruDepth range use melt-blown technology to form their 3D micropore matrices with different fine fibres used to create a strong structure with coarser filtration on the surface and finer filtration on the inner. This gradual reduction in size allows the cartridges to be used where a wide band of pollutant sizes exist. Contaminants such as particles, dirt, debris and rust are removed by the TruDepth range to provide efficient filtration and excellent service life.The variants in construction are reflected in each of the range’s performance. The finer fibres and deep grooves used in the Premier range for instance offer benefits in maximising the filtration surface area which increases the flow rate and lowers the pressure drop across the cartridge as well as maximising the dirt-holding capability and extending the service life. The Premier range also benefits from offering end-cap and seal options.Choosing the cartridge grade that is fit for the purpose is dependent upon the individual application requirements of temperature, pressure, band of particle size to be removed, requirements of housing to accept specific end-caps, approvals, sizes, lengths and micron ratings.Key Product Features
