1. Product Introduction of High Flow Filter Cartridge
The high‑flow filter cartridge is a folded large‑flux filter element installed in stainless‑steel filter housing, undertaking the vital pretreatment procedure before raw‑water enters industrial ultrafiltration equipment.
Industrial raw water, cooling circulating water, factory process water and recycled wastewater always carry sediment, metal abrasive dust, grease sludge, polymer colloid and tiny residual debris. Without effective interception by the high‑flow filter cartridge, hard fine‑grained particles will scratch the surface of expensive ultrafiltration membranes, trigger serious membrane fouling, raise chemical‑cleaning frequency and shorten the service cycle of ultrafiltration‑membrane modules sharply. Our high‑flow filter cartridge adopts multi‑layer composite pleated filter material, boasting huge dirt‑holding capacity, stable large‑flux throughput and outstanding acid‑alkali tolerance, which outperforms ordinary small‑flow common‑purpose filter cartridges.
Raw‑water firstly gets rid of large sediment, rust chunks and bulky waste via the upstream liquid filter. After primary coarse filtration, water flows into filter housing and receives deep‑depth purification by our high‑flow filter cartridge. Multiple interchangeable filter‑element selections are prepared for different operating‑conditions:
‑ General‑purpose industrial ultrafiltration safety filtration:AQUALINE ALN01‑60B High Flow Pleated Water Cartridge Filter
‑ Import‑specification filter‑element replacement:EQUIVALENT ALN01‑60B High Flow Pleated Water Filter Cartridge
‑ Power‑plant condensed‑water recycling system:Condensed Water Filter Element for Industrial Ultrafiltration
‑ Seawater and high‑salinity water treatment projects:Dow Membrane Filters Type SW30HRLE‑400 High Flow Cartridge
Our high‑flow filter cartridge consists of multi‑layer folded filter cloth, rigid inner supporting skeleton, wear‑resistant injection‑molded end‑caps and corrosion‑resistant EPDM sealing rings. Two mainstream installation styles including 226‑fin bayonet and flat end‑cap fit most international‑standard large‑flow filter housings. Every finished cartridge must complete bubble‑point inspection, air‑tightness test and acid‑alkali soaking durability check before delivery. Our factory supplies bulk‑order products and non‑standard customization according to on‑site water‑quality data and ultrafiltration‑system operating‑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‑filter‑cartridge fine physical screening → ultrafiltration‑membrane deep separation. The folded filter medium traps different‑sized particulate contaminants by physical sieving, inertial sedimentation and surface adsorption.
2.1 Long‑time Stable Large‑flux Operation
After coarse‑impurity removal from the upstream liquid filter, raw‑water flows inward from the outer folded layer of the high‑flow filter cartridge. Large‑size suspended waste is intercepted on the outer surface, fine colloids and micro‑particles are blocked by multi‑layer dense filter cloth, and purified water flows toward the central water‑collecting pipeline and enters the ultrafiltration‑membrane module.
Ultrafiltration membranes will further intercept macromolecular organic substances, bacteria and trace pollutants. Benefiting from expanded folded filtering area, the high‑flow filter cartridge maintains stable low pressure‑drop under long‑time high‑speed water flow, delivering steady inlet‑water for non‑stop industrial ultrafiltration‑water‑treatment equipment.
2.2 Differential‑pressure Reminder for Cartridge Replacement
Suspended pollutants keep accumulating on the folded filter‑layer during continuous running and lift the inlet‑outlet pressure‑difference. Operators shall replace the high‑flow filter cartridge once pressure‑difference hits the warning threshold of 0.25 MPa. Clogged cartridges will increase circulating‑pump operating‑load, reduce ultrafiltration water‑output and accelerate abrasive damage on ultrafiltration‑membrane surfaces.
2.3 Matching Operation for Ultrafiltration Back‑washing System
Water processed by the high‑flow filter cartridge serves as the back‑flushing water source for ultrafiltration‑membrane assemblies. After mixing with compressed air, gas‑water mixed liquid washes away contaminants attached to the membrane surface, slow down fouling and prolong the chemical‑cleaning cycle of industrial ultrafiltration machinery.

FAQ
Q1: What core functions does the high‑flow filter cartridge deliver for ultrafiltration equipment?
A: It owns enlarged folded filtering area and strong dirt‑holding capacity, intercepts suspended particles, oil sludge and colloidal pollutants, relieve membrane fouling, cut chemical‑cleaning frequency and extend ultrafiltration‑membrane service life.
Q2: Can you customize high‑flow filter cartridges for my existing ultrafiltration‑water‑treatment system?
A: Yes. Our technical staff adjust cartridge length, filtering precision, filter‑medium material and end‑cap structure according to on‑site water‑quality, pipeline flow and filter‑housing parameters.
Q3: How long is the standard replacement cycle for the high‑flow filter cartridge?
A: Its service life keeps 1‑3 months under low‑pollution inlet‑water. Heavy‑polluted oily sewage and seawater will accelerate cartridge clogging and shorten service cycle.
Q4: Why install a liquid filter on the upstream pipeline of the high‑flow filter cartridge?
A: The upstream liquid filter intercepts large sediment, rust blocks and hard coarse particles, prevent hard debris from scratching folded filter cloth, delay clogging and realize dual‑stage protection for downstream ultrafiltration‑membranes.
Q5: What common factors will bring early‑time blockage to the high‑flow filter cartridge?
A: Excessive pollutant concentration of inlet‑water, upstream liquid‑filter breakdown, long‑time over‑rated‑flow running and improperly‑selected filter‑medium material will trigger fast pressure‑difference rise and premature cartridge clogging.
Q6: Is parallel installation available for multiple high‑flow filter cartridges on large‑scale ultrafiltration‑machines?
A: Parallel installation is fully supported. Multiple cartridges work collaboratively in large‑size filter housings and supply stable large‑flux pretreated water for heavy‑duty industrial ultrafiltration‑water‑treatment equipment.
