Pleated filter cartridges are high-efficiency depth filters designed to remove fine particles, sediments, and contaminants from liquids and gases. Available in a wide range of micron ratings and media types, these cartridges offer large surface area, high flow rates, and long service life due to their pleated construction.
To accommodate different housing types and sealing methods, pleated cartridges are offered with various end cap configurations, including:
End Cap Types:
DOE (Double Open End)
Open on both ends, typically sealed with gaskets or O-rings
Common in residential and industrial housings
Easy to install and replace
FIN (Open End with Fin & Gasket)
Top end has a fin (or spear) for alignment; bottom end has a flat gasket
Often used in food and beverage or pharmaceutical applications
222 O-Ring
Double O-ring bayonet connection for secure sealing
Available with flat or fin end
Suitable for high-purity and high-pressure systems
Common in sanitary-grade housings
226 O-Ring
Similar to 222 but with locking tabs for enhanced sealing
Preferred in pharmaceutical, food, and biotech industries
Available with flat or fin end options
