Product Performance
Unmatched Flow Rates: The MegaFlow design allows flow rates up to 175 GPM (662 LPM), significantly reducing the number of cartridges needed compared to traditional designs. For example, a single 40-inch cartridge replaces eight standard 2.5-inch OD cartridges.
Low Pressure Drop: Pleated polypropylene media minimize resistance, ensuring energy efficiency even at peak flow.
High Contaminant Holding Capacity: The layered structure traps particles efficiently, extending service life and reducing frequent replacements.
Thermal and Chemical Stability: Media options resist degradation from high temperatures and aggressive chemicals, making them ideal for diverse applications.
Working Structure
Each filter element features a radial pleated design that maximizes surface area while maintaining a compact footprint. The pleats are thermally bonded to prevent shifting or unraveling, ensuring consistent filtration performance. Key structural components include:
Multi-Layer Media: A combination of high-purity polypropylene fibers for aqueous applications and phenolic-bonded cellulose for non-aqueous fluids.
Stainless Steel Support Cage: Provides mechanical strength and dimensional stability under high pressure.
Quick-Change Handle: Ergonomic design allows for one-handed removal and insertion, reducing downtime during maintenance.
Why Choose Parker High-Flow Filter Elements
Cost Savings: Fewer cartridges mean lower replacement frequency and reduced material costs.
Space Optimization: Smaller housings accommodate the same flow rates, freeing up valuable floor space.
Environmental Compliance: FDA-compliant polypropylene materials ensure safety in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications.
Extended Lifespan: Robust construction and precise engineering minimize leaks and premature wear.
Global Certification: Meets ISO 9001, CE, and other international quality standards for reliability.
Applications in the Textile Industry
The textile sector relies on clean water and precise chemical processing to maintain fabric quality and production efficiency. Parker High-Flow Filter Elements address critical challenges such as:
Dye Filtration: Removing impurities from dye baths to prevent discoloration and streaking.
Coolant Recycling: Filtering lubricants and coolants in textile machinery to extend equipment life.
Wastewater Treatment: Pre-treating effluent before discharge or reuse, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
For example, a textile plant using Parker filters reported a 30% reduction in water waste and a 25% increase in production speed due to improved filtration efficiency.
