Products Pleated Filter Cartridges Pleated Depth Cartridges

Fiber-MAXX G / Glass-Pleat G Nominally Rated Microglass Depth Cartridges

Strainrite's nominally rated microglass depth filter cartridges utilize a high surface area and high void volume media, incorporating microglass fibers in a uniform matrix that optimizes element flow rate and service life unattainable by other traditional microfiber technologies. This revolutionary microfiber matrix optimizes pore size geometry required to offer beta rated filtration performance.

Product Overview

Strainrite's non-calendared microglass cartridges exhibit significantly reduced resistance to flow when compared to similarly rated microfiber technologies. These cartridges are an excellent choice for filtering beverages such as beer and wine, as they do not remove flavor-enhancing proteins.

Our FDA grade cartridges meet or exceed the requirements of the 21 CFR 177 for food and beverage contact. Strainrite also offers elements that utilize an epoxy binder providing an increased range of applications where chemical compatibility is critical.

The Fiber-MAXX G now offers a Special Pleat option which provides expected surface area improvements of as much as 45% in General and Pharmaceutical grades. This optimized pleat geometry option was developed for the filtration of process fluids that require a high degree of particle retention and/or constant bacterial barrier for effective sterilization.

Features & Benefits

Beta-rated media provide reliable pore size control resulting in repeatable filtration performance

Non-fiber releasing materials with minimal extractables provide high purity filtrate

Low pressure drops yield higher flow rates and reduced processing time

Maximized pleat design coupled with non-calendared micro-glass matrix offers greater surface area, ensuring longer service life, less downtime and reduced costs

Industrial grade utilizes an epoxy binder, FDA grade utilizes an acrylic binder

Thermally bonded construction eliminates particle bypass

Special Pleat Option: Optimized pleat geometry

Special Pleat Option: Expected surface area improvements of as much as 45% in General and Pharmaceutical grades
