Pentair Industrial introduces Pureflex Series filter cartridges

Pentair Industrial introduces Pureflex Series filter cartridges, which offer high-efficiency and chemically compatible products available for a range of filtration needs. The Pureflex Series is manufactured in a variety of sizes and cartridge diameters, micron ratings and end cap configurations. Pentair Industrial manufactures housings for the complete Pureflex line of cartridges, which provide filtration in applications such as chemical, pharmaceutical and food and beverage manufacturing. To ensure product integrity, all Pureflex Series models undergo rigorous internal and third-party testing.

The PF-200AB and PFN-200 Absolute and Nominal Pleated Polypropylene Filter Cartridges are a line of high-efficiency chemical- and bacteria-resistant filters. Operating with a 99.98% efficiency at a stated Beta 5000 micron size, these filters come in 2.2-, 2.5- and 2.75-inch diameters. Manufactured with Silicone, Buna-N, Neoprene and Viton gaskets and o-rings, the PF-200AB and PFN-200 operate with high dirt-holding capacity.

The Pureflex Series is also available in larger sizes. The Pureflex Max Series PF-300AB cartridges, available in 3.7-inch diameters, operate at a 99.98% efficiency at stated micron size (Beta 5000). A 100% polypropylene media runs the full length of the cartridge. Designed with nylon end caps, with optional steel end caps and center core available, the PF-300AB has a cartridge life four times longer than 2.5-inch cartridges. The PF-600AB, the largest filter cartridge in the Pureflex Series, has a 6- or 6.5-inch diameter. Like other Pureflex models, the PF-600AB operates at 99.98% efficiency rating (Beta 5000 micron size). On average, the PF-600AB has 20 to 40 times fewer element changeouts than comparable standard diameter models.
