1. Product Introduction of HIGH FLOW CARTRIDGE FILTER ELEMENT
High‑flow cartridge filter element is a pleated large‑flux filter consumable installed inside stainless‑steel filter housing, undertaking the core pretreatment duty for industrial ultrafiltration water‑treatment systems.
Compared with common small‑flow filter cartridges, its deep‑pleated structure greatly enlarges the effective filtering area, brings stronger dirt‑holding capacity and higher water‑pass efficiency, which perfectly fits large‑scale industrial water‑treatment projects. Raw‑water sources such as river surface‑water, underground well‑water, factory circulating water, aquaculture water and preliminarily‑settled sewage carry silt, grease, algae, suspended solids and colloidal impurities. Without the interception of high‑flow cartridge filter element, fine contaminants will adhere tightly to ultrafiltration‑membrane surface, cause frequent membrane fouling, raise chemical‑cleaning frequency and shorten the service cycle of expensive ultrafiltration‑membrane components.
Raw‑water first removes coarse‑grained impurities by the upstream liquid filter. After preliminary filtration, water flows into the filter housing and gets fine purification from our high‑flow cartridge filter element. Multiple interchangeable filter‑element options are prepared for diverse ultrafiltration working‑conditions:
‑ Ordinary industrial ultrafiltration safety filtration:ALN05‑60B High Flow Pleated Cartridge Filter
‑ Large‑flux circulating‑water ultrafiltration projects:AQUALINE ALN01‑60B High Flow Pleated Water Cartridge Filter
‑ Import‑element replacement service:EQUIVALENT ALN01‑60B High Flow Pleated Water Filter Cartridge
‑ Thermal‑power‑plant condensate‑water ultrafiltration system:Condensed Water Filter Element for Industrial Ultrafiltration
Our high‑flow cartridge filter element consists of multi‑layer polypropylene pleated filter cloth, rigid inner support skeleton, injection‑molded end‑caps and elastic EPDM sealing rings. Two mainstream installation types, the 226‑fin bayonet and flat end‑cap, are compatible with most international‑standard high‑flow filter housings. Every finished‑product filter‑element must pass bubble‑point inspection and air‑tightness testing before delivery. Our factory provides bulk‑stock supply and non‑standard customization service according to different ultrafiltration‑system parameters.

2. Working Principle: Collaborative Filtration With Ultrafiltration Equipment
The complete water‑purification workflow adopts three‑stage progressive filtration: liquid‑filter coarse filtration → high‑flow cartridge filter‑element fine physical sieving → ultrafiltration‑membrane deep separation. The folded filter medium traps different‑sized particulate contaminants by physical screening, inertial sedimentation and surface adsorption.
2.1 Long‑Time Stable Filtration Operation
After coarse‑impurity removal of the upstream liquid filter, raw‑water flows inward from the outer folded layer of the filter element. Large suspended particles are intercepted on the outer surface, fine particulates are blocked by multi‑layer dense filter cloth, and clear‑water flows toward the central water‑collecting pipeline and enters the ultrafiltration‑membrane module.
The ultrafiltration membrane will further intercept residual bacteria, macromolecular colloids and micro‑fine particles. Thanks to the huge effective filtering area, the high‑flow cartridge filter element maintains stable low pressure‑drop under long‑time high‑speed water flow, ensuring steady water supply for continuous ultrafiltration water‑making.
2.2 Differential‑pressure Reminder for Element Replacement
Impurities keep accumulating on the folded filter‑layer during continuous running and lift the inlet‑outlet pressure‑difference. Operators shall replace the filter element once the pressure‑difference hits the warning threshold of 0.25 MPa. Blocked filter elements will increase water‑pump operating load, reduce ultrafiltration water‑yield and accelerate surface contamination of ultrafiltration membranes.
2.3 Matching Operation for Ultrafiltration Back‑washing System
Water treated by high‑flow cartridge filter element works as the back‑flush water source of ultrafiltration‑membrane assemblies. After mixing with compressed air, gas‑water mixed liquid washes away pollutants stuck on the membrane surface, delays fouling and extends the chemical‑cleaning cycle of ultrafiltration equipment.

FAQ
Q1: What advantages does the high‑flow cartridge filter‑element bring to ultrafiltration‑membrane devices?
A: It owns large filtering area and outstanding dirt‑holding capacity, intercepts most suspended impurities and colloids inside raw‑water, slows ultrafiltration‑membrane fouling, cuts chemical‑cleaning frequency and prolongs membrane working life.
Q2: Can you customize high‑flow cartridge filter‑element for my existing ultrafiltration‑system?
A: Yes. Our technical workers adjust element length, filtration precision, filter‑medium material and end‑cap structure based on on‑site water quality, pipeline flow and filter‑housing parameters.
Q3: What is the regular replacement cycle for high‑flow cartridge filter‑element?
A: The replacement cycle lasts 1‑3 months with stable clean inlet‑water. High‑turbidity and heavily‑polluted sewage will speed‑up element clogging and shorten service life.
Q4: Why install a liquid filter on the upstream pipeline of high‑flow cartridge filter‑element?
A: The upstream liquid filter intercepts gravel, rust chunks and rigid coarse particles, prevents hard particles from scratching the folded filter cloth, delays clogging and builds dual‑stage protection for downstream ultrafiltration‑membranes.
Q5: Which factors will lead to early‑time clogging of high‑flow cartridge filter‑element?
A: Excessive suspended‑solid concentration of inlet‑water, upstream liquid‑filter breakdown, long‑term over‑rated‑flow running and improperly‑selected filtration precision will trigger fast pressure‑difference rise and premature blockage.
Q6: Is parallel installation available for multiple high‑flow cartridge filter‑elements on large‑scale industrial ultrafiltration‑machines?
A: Parallel mounting is fully supported. Multiple filter‑elements work together inside large‑size filter housings and provide steady large‑flow pretreated feed‑water for heavy‑duty ultrafiltration‑equipment, widely used in aquaculture, municipal‑water recycling and industrial‑wastewater‑treatment sectors.
