Equal to Pall Ultipleat High Flow Element refers to fully compatible aftermarket filter cartridges that match the performance and dimensional standards of original Pall Ultipleat HFU series. Adopting core-free crescent pleat structure and inside-out flow design, these replacement elements realize plug-and-play installation on standard Pall Ultipleat filter housings without system modification. Available with polypropylene and glass fiber gradient media, they deliver equivalent filtration efficiency, low pressure drop and high dirt holding capacity, serving as cost-effective substitutes for RO security filtration, desalination and power plant water treatment. Many EPC customers combine HFU660GF060H13 glass fiber filter cartridge and HFU640UY045H replacement element with our equal-to-Pall Ultipleat filters to construct stable multi-stage pretreatment systems.

Product Overview
Equal to Pall Ultipleat High Flow Element is engineered to achieve equivalent technical indicators as genuine Pall Ultipleat HFU high flow filter cartridges. Original Ultipleat filters are widely used for industrial liquid purification worldwide. However, high procurement prices and uncertain lead times push end users to seek reliable aftermarket alternatives. Our equal-performance filter series solves such procurement pain points while meeting the system design requirements of existing filtration equipment.
The product portfolio covers mainstream specifications including 20-inch, 40-inch and 60-inch lengths. Filtration precision ranges from 1μm to 50μm. Two core media types are optional: gradient polypropylene pleated media and high-efficiency glass fiber media, supporting both nominal and absolute precision demands. All cartridges adopt glue-free thermal fusion technology to avoid fiber shedding and secondary pollution. Sealing options include EPDM, Buna-N and Viton to adapt to aqueous solutions and mild chemical environments. The maximum continuous operating temperature reaches 82°C, with withstand differential pressure up to 3.4 bar, suitable for 24/7 continuous heavy-duty industrial operation.
Every batch undergoes strict dimensional inspection, bubble point efficiency test and pressure tightness test to confirm interchangeability and stable performance. It effectively intercepts suspended solids, rust, sediment and fine colloids, protecting RO/NF membrane elements, water pumps and precision valves from abrasion and contamination.
Filtration Working Principle
Equal to Pall Ultipleat High Flow Element inherits the mature inside-out filtration principle of original Ultipleat design. Under system pressure, raw fluid enters the inner cavity of the coreless filter cartridge and permeates outward through multi-layer gradient pleated media. Large flocs and coarse particles are trapped on inner filter layers, while micro-impurities and colloids that cause membrane fouling are deeply intercepted by outer precision media.
The optimized crescent pleating structure reduces fluid dead zones and maximizes effective filtration area. Contaminants remain sealed inside the cartridge during replacement, preventing secondary particle leakage to clean pipelines. After purification, fluid flows into downstream membrane treatment processes. Operators need to replace cartridges promptly once inlet-outlet differential pressure rises to 25–35 PSID to restore rated flow rate.

FAQ
Q1: Are equal to Pall Ultipleat High Flow Element completely interchangeable with original filters?
A1: Yes. All external dimensions, end cap structure, handle and sealing positions are benchmarked to original drawings, supporting direct installation without adjusting filter vessels.
Q2: What is the difference between PP media and glass fiber media for equal-to-Pall Ultipleat filters?
A2: Polypropylene media features outstanding chemical compatibility for most water treatment projects. Glass fiber media provides higher absolute efficiency for fine particle removal for strict membrane protection requirements.
Q3: How long is the service cycle of equal to Pall Ultipleat High Flow Element?
A3: The service cycle depends on raw water turbidity. The core replacement indicator is system differential pressure. When pressure difference reaches 25–35 PSID, replacement is recommended.
Q4: Can equal to Pall Ultipleat High Flow Element be reused after backwashing?
A4: It belongs to disposable pleated filter. Fine particles and colloids will embed into media pores. Conventional backwashing cannot fully recover filtration efficiency, so timely replacement is advised.
Q5: What information should I provide to confirm the correct specification?
A5: Please provide original part number, cartridge length, micron rating, seal material, operating temperature and fluid medium. Our technical team will confirm matching specifications and offer quotation.
