Get more filtration for the money with Flow-Max
®
pleated cartridges for high flow, long life, greater
sediment removal and reduced filtration costs.
Flow-Max filter cartridges
outperform wound, spun,
melt blown, resin bonded
and other ”depth” type filter
elements because our
cartridges are pleated to
provide increased surface
area and longer life.
Lower pressure drop is
another significant
advantage, using Flow-Max
pleated cartridges, which
allows for increased flow
rates and the use of smaller
filter housings to reduce
capital equipment costs.
Further savings are provided
because our 100% synthetic
filter media is cleanable, five
micron and up, to lower
cartridge replacement costs.
Flow-Max filter cartridges
outperform other pleated
elements because our highperformance filter media is
systematically produced using
100% synthetic fibers, with no
binders or additives to leave a
residue, foam or contaminate.
Our filter media is dramatically
thicker than other products.
For this reason, Flow-Max
cartridges provide “depth”
filtration for greater sediment
removal, along with more
surface area with our pleated
design.
A multi-ply laminate is
used with our sub and
one micron absolute
grades for longer life and
greater solids removal.
(See right.)
Features
Filter media is pleated for greater surface area.
Synthetic filter media is cellulose-free.
“Thicker” filter media has a greater capacity to
capture and retain particles, compared to thin, more
rigid media types, which have less void
space for particle retention.
One micron absolute and 0.35 media use a
multi-ply laminate for superior performance.
Long lengths have netting to hold pleats in place.
All cartridge types and lengths are wrapped.
Full product line (types, lengths & micron ratings).
Benefits
Low pressure drop; long life; reduced filtration costs,
compared to wound and spun cartridges.
No additives or binders, which may cause foaming.
Increased dirt holding capacity; longer life; fewer
cartridge replacements needed; and reduced filtration
costs, compared to other pleated cartridge suppliers.
Increased particle removal efficiency; longer life; and
reduced cost per gallon filtered.
Superior performance and appearance.
Provides security at no additional cost.
Greater selection from your single source
supplier!
Flow-Max®cartridges cost less to use . . . regardless what they cost to buy!

Note: Filter housing selection should also be considered when flow rate per cartridge is determined.
Lower pressure drop for higher flow rates
Flow-Max®cartridges are pleated, so initial pressure
drop is significantly less compared to depth cartridges,
such a wound, spun, melt blown and resin bonded.
As a result, higher flow rates are possible, reducing
filter housing size requirements to lower capital
equipment costs.

Washable & reusable
Flow-Max®cartridges are washable
and reusable, five micron and up
to reduce filtration costs. For best
results, direct spray into pleats
to dislodge sediment. Or, let
dry and brush off filter cake
from surface of the media.
