 FLOTREX POLYPROPYLENE (FPN):
(Combines pleated and depth advantages)
Manufactured using graded sheets of melt-blown layer polypropylene, FPN cartridges optimise the pleats' depth and density providing high solids loading for long service life making it ideal for clarification of bulk fluids at high flow rates, saving on capital filter housing costs whilst maintaining a consistent performance. (surface areas are up to 34% greater and flow rate than on the FAP)
FLOTREX POLYPROPYLENE ABSOLUTE RATED (FAP):
(The cleanest cartridge in the pleated range)
The advantage of the Flotrex FAP (absolute rated) cartridge over the FPN is that the confusion over exact efficiency and particulate removed is eliminated. FAP are 99.9% efficient and can therefore be easily cross-referenced to all other absolute rated cartridges. Again, being of all-polypropylene construction, the FAP is of high purity and is the recommended pre-filter to Osmonics' membranes.
FLOTREX GLASS-FIBRE (FGF):
(The highest flowabsolute rated cartridge)
An exceptional filter where the filtrate is compatible with glass-fibre. Flow versus pressure drops are far superior to polypropylene cartridges yet the FGF is still absolute rated at 0.45, 1 and 3 micron. Being constructed from 100% FDA acceptable materials with a polypropylene pre-layer on all micron ratings, to extend cartridge life, the FGF at 1 micron is ideal for Cryptosporidia and Giardia cyst removal in bottled water. Other applications where the FGF is recommended include beverage clarification due to no leaching of flavour altering substances.
FLOTREX HALAR (FHR):
(Ozone tolerant for 9000 ppm/hr)
Halar (ECTFE) is an industrial grade fluoropolymer capable of withstanding the harshest process conditions. The FHR cartridge features 100% Halar construction and is an economic alternative to PFA and PTFE filters whilst maintaining high flow rates and high-purity results with absolute efficiencies at 3, 10 and 25 micron and cut-off characteristics that out-perform the industry's best polypropylene filters. Ideal for ozone and oxidising chemicals.
