3M™ High Flow Series Filter System
The 3M™ High Flow series filter system is an advanced design that uses
3M innovation and 3M Purification Inc.’s extensive filtration experience to
deliver a high flow filter in a compact housing design. When compared to
conventional cartridge systems, this system provides the following advantages:
High Flow Capability
The construction of 3M High Flow series filter systems permits flow rates
of up to 500 gpm in a single cartridge. The result? Fewer filter elements to
accommodate your f low requirements. In fact, the 3M High Flow series
filter systems requires as few as one-tenth the number of elements as competitive 2.5” pleated cartridges (see Figure 1).
Compact Design
Using fewer elements combined with an outside-to-in flow path enables a
reduction in the size of housing required for your application. The 3M™
High Flow series filter housing takes up as little as one-half the size of
competitive housings for a given f low rate. The result is lower capital
investment costs and a compact footprint that saves valuable plant space
(see Figure 1).
Ease of Use
The 3M™ High Flow series filter system is designed with ease-of-use in
mind. From a user-friendly, ergonomically designed handle that makes
cartridge installation and removal easier without the use of special tools
or other hardware, to a “twist-to-lock” cartridge seating mechanism that
provides a positive seal, the 3M High Flow series filter system facilitates
easy operation and maintenance of your filter system.polyimide. Maximizing surface area reduces recirculation time, while increased contact time
improves filtration efficiency.

3M™ High Flow Series Filter System
High Performance Media in an Innovative Design
3M™ High Flow series filter systems are designed using state-of-the-art
technology, optimizing both performance and eff luent quality to ensure
customer satisfaction. The elements use a pleat design that results in a high
usable filtering surface area per filter.
Radial Pleat Design
3M innovation is at the heart of the 3M High Flow series filter system. A
compound radial pleat design maximizes the usable surface area per filter.
Blown microfiber forms the basis of the filter media, which is made to tightly
controlled fiber diameter specifications to produce a media with absolute rated
particle retention characteristics. Our manufacturing process embosses the
media to produce a more uniform pleat pattern, which, in turn, allows greater
utilization of the media by evenly distributing the f luid throughout the entire
filter structure. This results in consistent particle retention in a compact, spacesaving design.
Design Features
The 3M High Flow filter High Flow Filter contains several features to combine
high performance with easy operation.
