String Wound Polypropylene Cartridge Applications

The Sterling 2.5" x 20" 5 micron string wound filter cartridge is for a wide range of filtering applications, manufactured from FDA grade polypropylene. These cartridges are very suitable for potable water filtration. Ideal for removing very fine sediment right through to very coarse sediment, at ambient temperatures. NOTE: Be careful when comparing pricing - there are lower cost “INDUSTRIAL GRADE” polypropylene cartridges being sold that are not meant for filtering potable water.

String Wound Polypropylene Cartridge Features

Double and triple length cartridges minimize change out time and eliminate the possibility of blow-by as a result of using multiple cartridges in conjunction with cartridge couplers.

Spun Polypropylene Depth Cartridge Construction/Rating

• The spun polypropylene cartridge is made by diagonally winding a precise pattern of carefully selected fibers on a center core. The pattern is designed to create hundreds of identical, tapered, spiral passageways. During the winding, fibersare combed across the passage and locked in place by succeeding layers. Solid particles are removed by entrapment in this highly efficient filter media. Filtration takes place throughout the entire cartridge, not just on the surface, so large amounts of contaminant are trapped without a sudden rise in pressure caused by surfaceblinding. By varying the wind pattern, cartridges are fabricated to give a pre-determined micrometre rating.
• Filter media: Polypropylene Centre core: Polypropylene
• Temperature rating: 100°F
