Inox stainless steel cartridges are the most durable range of cartridges

available in the SPECTRUM portfolio. 316L stainless steel meshes are resilient

in the toughest of fluid environments of high pressure, high temperature and

aggressive chemicals and when used for solid particle removal.

Available in both cylindrical and pleated configurations, the stainless steel range is completely cleanable and

reusable, significantly reducing ongoing cost and eliminating the environmental impact from the disposal of

exhausted consumable cartridges.

Premier RangePremium Solution for Challenging Applications

engineered with layers of woven stainless steel

media, fully TiG welded to eliminate potential

extractables, whilst the added outer cage provides

additional protection for the pleated media

ensuring cartridge integrity during back flushing.

Premier cartridges utilise the ultimate in material

and construction technology to produce a high

performance cartridge which is specifically

designed to suit the most challenging filtration

environments. The pleat pack is precision

Spectrum

CosmeticsStrong stainless steel can withstand high pressure usually required to flow high viscosity liquids

ChemicalThe PPS offers a reliable filtration solution due to compatibility with both aggressive acids and solvents

Manufactured entirely from 316L stainless steel, the inert and reusable properties

of the Premier range of cartridges are designed for use in a range of applications

including cosmetics, food and beverage, power generation and chemical

processing.

AdhesivesCapable of high temperature cleaning, contaminants such as paint and glues can be incinerated and the cartridge reused.

Construction

Outer support layer provides coarse particulate removal to protect the main filtration layer from premature blinding.

Main filtration layer specifically targets particulate at the micron rating of the cartridge for selective removal of unwanted contaminants.

Providing structural integrity and protection of the pleat pack, the inner support layer is constructed from unyielding polypropylene.

Additional support layers add depth characteristics to the media of the Premier range. This dramatically increases the dirt holding capacity of the cartridge, improving service life and reducing operation downtime.

AA - Double Open EndedOpen-end gaskets are suitable for housings that require a knife edge seal and are most suited for non-critical applications.

FS - 226 / Closed EndBayonet type tabs lock into the housing, which prevents the cartridge from moving during filtration, especially in high flow applications.

FH - Fin / Closed EndThe Fin locates into plate holes to maintain its vertical position, which is particularly useful for the longer cartridges such as 30" and 40".

Premier End-CapsThe SPECTRUM Premier Stainless Steel cartridges benefit from the addition of end-caps, lowering the risk of bypass. With Teflon® Seals supplied as standard, these cartridges have the widest range of chemical compatibility.

Ultrasonic cleaning

Using high-frequency sound waves, this technology breaks down hard, non-deformable particulate retained by the filter media. Once the contamination has been broken down, the cartridge is typically rinsed before use.

Reverse flow

Typically used when the majority of the contaminant is larger than the pore size of the filter media and remains on the surface of the cartridge, reverse flow is the simplest form of cleaning. Performed either in situ or externally, reverse flowing flushes the contaminant from the surface of the cartridge at pressures as low as 1 bar. The outer cage of the PPS means that higher pressure can be used to remove heavier loading.

Chemical cleaning

Due to the inert properties of the stainless steel media, aggressive chemicals and solvents can be successfully used to dissolve and remove both contaminant on the surface of the cartridge and finer embedded particulate within the depth of the media. Prior to reuse the cartridge is typically flushed with filtered water.

High temperature burnout

The most aggressive form of cartridge cleaning, high temperature burnout is used to remove hardened adhesives, glues and paints. Exposing the cartridges to temperatures up to 300°C, collected contaminant is incinerated before being flushed and rinsed with filtered water.

The exacting construction of the PPS results in a robust cartridge capable of withstanding cleaning procedures which would typically damage or destroy consumable polymeric cartridges. These cleaning process enable stainless steel cartridges to be repeatedly reused, eliminating the disposal of expended single use cartridges, commonly deemed environmentally unacceptable. Depending on the characteristics of the contaminant and the solution there are different methods of cleaning that can be used.

Replaceable gaskets after cleaning

After all cleaning processes it is recommended that gaskets are replaced to ensure a positive seal and reduce the risk of bypass, offering peace of mind. Fileder supplies a range of replacement gaskets and O-rings, available upon request.
