Fiber-MAXX
Micro-Fiber Glass Pleated Depth Cartridges
Strainrite's Fiber-MAXX Pleated Filter Cartridges utilize a high surface area and high void volume media, incorporating Micro-Glass fibers in a uniform matrix that optimizes element flow rate and service life unattainable by other Micro-Fiber technologies. This revolutionary Micro-Fiber matrix optimizes pore size geometry required to offer absolute-rated filtration performance. Strainrite's non-calendared Micro-Glass, Fiber-MAXX, cartridges exhibit significantly reduced resistance to flow when compared to similarly rated Micro-Fiber technologies.
Fiber-MAXX cartridges are an excellent choice for filtering beverages such as beer and wine, as they do not remove flavor enhancing proteins. Our materials of construction meet or exceed the requirements of the CFR 21 for Food and Beverage contact. Strainrite offers elements that utilize an epoxy binder providing the Fiber-MAXX with an increased range of applications where chemical compatibility is critical.
Typical Applications
- Inks and Coatings
- Plating Solutions
- Solvent Filtration
- Oil and Gas Production
- Photographic Films
- Chemical Processing
- Waste Water
- Absolute-rated media provide reliable pore size control resulting in repeatable filtration performance
- Non-fiber releasing materials with minimal extractables provide high purity filtrate
- Low pressure drops yield higher flow rates and reduced processing time
- Maxx-imum pleat design coupled with non-calendared Micro-Glass matrix offers greater surface area, ensuring longer service life, less downtime and reduced operating costs per cartridge
- Industrial grade utilizes an epoxy binder, FDA grade utilizes an acrylic binder
- Thermally bonded construction eliminates particle bypass
