FLUYTEC,S.A. produces wound polypropylene filtering cartridges made in specially selected polypropylene thread, being the core injected polypropylene. Optionally, the core can be made of stainless steel.

Its exclusive characteristics of design and manufacturation allow us to produce a cartridge with a low pressure drop and a very high resistance to perforation or crushing due to the differential pressure. Besides our cartridges have an optimum retention grade, as you can see in the attached diagrams.

Our quality department makes tests of every consignment cartridges in order to check and certify their retention grade.

MEASURES

External Diameter 60-61 mm. (2.3 ")

Internal Diameter 27 mm. (1.06")

Length
FLUYTEC, S.A. produces two lines of wound filtering cartridges depending on the requeriments of our clients: in milimeters and inches.

a) Milimeters: From 250 to 1250 mm. In multiples of 250 mm.
b) Inches: 10",20",30",40" y 50".
Other sizes avalaible under request or if the specifications require so.

FILTRATION GRADE

In the filtration with polypropylene cartridges, the filtration grade is nominal, existing a very important factor to be considered; the effectiveness of the cartridge, that is the percent of particles equal and superior to the nominal filtration grade that the cartridge is able to retain.

The cartridges manufactured by FLUYTEC,S.A. have the following grades of nominal filtration: 1, 3, 5, 10, 25 y 50 micron.

Next we expose the results of laboratory tests evaluating the retention grade of our cartridges using a laser-guided particle counter:

Among the wound filtering elements made by FLUYTEC,S.A. you can find our filtering candles made in wound polypropylene.

This candles can be used for direct filtration or in precoat filtration.

The lengths of the candles are variable towards a filtering length of 1750 mm or 70" being their filtration grade equal to the wound cartridges.

For application in sea water desalination plants we have avalaible two models:

a) With the internal structure made in stainless steel quality N08904 or S31254 as in ASTM.

b) With the internal structure made in plastic materials. This model have the great advantage of being dismountable, the whole set is recoverable, except the filtering element itself that can be easily replaced "in situ" without having to send the candle to rewind.
