Its lightweight, compact design ensures easy installation and maintenance, while reducing storage and transportation costs.

FAQs - SPP

What are the advantages of the SPP over other pleated cartridges?

The SPP filter stands out as a cost-effective alternative to other pleated cartridges, offering exceptional flow rates, reduced pressure drops, and extended service life thanks to its advanced three-layer pleated technology. Its lightweight, compact design ensures easy installation and maintenance, while its durable construction prevents deformation and minimises storage, waste, and transportation costs.

What is the purpose of the outer cage on the SPP?

The caged construction delivers excellent flow dynamics and is designed to protect the integral pleat pack and provide overall rigidity and strength to the cartridge; as well as allowing a more uniform distribution of flow across the entire pleat pack ensuring low pressure drop and maximised dirt holding capacity and allowing for end caps to be thermally bonded to the cartridge.

What is a pleated filter?

A pleated filter is a type of liquid filtration cartridge designed with pleats or folds on the filter media to increase the surface area for better filtration efficiency compared to spuns and wounds.

What types of contaminants do pleated filters remove?

Pleated filters are used to remove suspended particulate. They are usually used to control finer particulate as a final stage of filtration where a specific contaminant is targeted for removal.
