Glass-PLEAT
High Performance Microfiberglass Filter Cartridges
Strainrite's Glass-PLEAT Pleated Filter cartridges utilize both a high surface area and void volume media, incorporating Micro-Glass fibers in a uniform matrix, optimizing element flow rate and service life unattainable by other Micro-Fiber technologies. This revolutionary Micro-Fiber matrix optimizes the pore size geometry required to offer absoluterated filtration performance. Strainrite's non-calendared Micro-Glass Glass-PLEAT cartridges exhibit significantly reduced resistance to flow when compared to similarly rated Micro-Fiber technologies.
Glass-PLEAT cartridges are an outstanding choice for filtering beverages such as beer and wine as they do not remove flavor enhancing proteins. Our construction materials meet or exceed the requirements of CFR 21 for food and beverage contact. Strainrite offers elements that utilize an epoxy binder, providing the Glass-PLEAT 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
- Nominally rated media provides reliable pore size control, resulting in repeatable filtration performance
- Non fiber-releasing materials with minimal extractables, providing high purity filtrate
- Low pressure drops yield higher flow rates and reduced processing time
- Maxx-imized pleat design, coupled with non-calendared Micro-Glass matrix, offers greater surface area, ensuring longer service life, fewer changeouts and reduced operating costs per cartridge
- Industrial grade utilizes an epoxy binder, FDA grade utilizes an acrylic binder
- Thermally bonded construction eliminates particle bypass
