Unique Manufacturing
Process Gives Superior Structure
Using a numerically controlled
process, molten polypropylene
is extruded into highly porous
cartridges. The microfibers weld
together as they cool. The result
is a dimensionally stable filter
media that resists distortion
during increased fluid pressure.
True Gradient
Pore Size Distribution
FiberFlo MicroFiber cartridges
contain void spaces that are
far more accessible to dirt
particles than those filters
using graded density construction.
The proprietary melt blown process
develops a filter with enormous
quantities of progressively
smaller pores without significantly
increasing bulk density. Porosity
remains uniform, from coarse
to fine, throughout the cartridge
wall providing maximum throughput
and extended service life.
In contrast, graded density
is a relatively unsophisticated
method that compresses more
fiber into a fixed volume to
achieve smaller voids and pores.
This can cause a dramatic reduction
in percentage of void volume
resulting in excessive pressure
drop and shortened service life.
Free From Extractables
FiberFlo MicroFiber filter surfaces
are free from lubricants, surfactants
or antisatic chemicals so they
will not cause foaming or other
contamination. Polypropylene microfiber
is suitable for potable water
filtration and food processing
applications. The polypropylene
cartridges are suitable for filtering
a variety of industrial chemicals.
Homogenous Materials for Easier
Disposal
The MicroFiber filter media is
composed of a single material
for easier pulverization or incineration.
This efficiency in waste volume
reduction can lead to a direct
cost savings in disposal. In addition,
polypropylene provides 2,000 BTU/
LB of heat energy for any process
that uses it as a fuel.
