SupaPleat Plus
SupaPleat Plus high surface area pleated depth cartridges have been developed to suit industrial processes where high levels of efficiency and extremely low pressure losses are required. In-house developments have optimized the filter media to give higher levels of porosity, and state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies provide excellent build quality. SupaPleat Plus filters have enhanced durability due to the use of a robust outer cage. For more critical applications where greater process control is required, there is also the option to have lot and part number identification on every cartridge. Two media options are offered as standard: the PB and GB. The PB features the specific CRY Cryptosporidium grade designed for Food and Beverage applications. All feature a 100% polypropylene cage, core, and end cap assembly. Thermal welding processes seal all components, eliminating adhesives and extractables, and optimizing cartridge integrity.
