FiltEdge™ Precision Pleating & Thermal Bonding Technology
The production of 100-micron pleated filter cartridges relies on an industry-leading High-Speed Servo-Controlled Pleating System. Precise pleat pitch calculations ensure that each pleat maintains structural stability under pressure. Our equipment controls pleating tolerance to within ±0.1 mm, increasing effective filtration area by 20% and achieving up to 0.65 m² of filtration area in a 10-inch filter cartridge.
We utilize Ultrasonic Seamless Welding technology to process longitudinal seams and end caps. Under instantaneous high temperatures of 280°C and specific pressure, the PP material undergoes intermolecular cross-linking and penetration, forming an integrated structure. This process endows FiltEdge filter cartridges with extremely high porosity, ranging from 85% to 92%. When handling standard ISO Fine Test Dust, its dirt holding capacity exceeds that of conventional single-layer melt-blown filter cartridges by more than 35%. At the 100-micron rating, this process not only serves as excellent pre-filtration protection but also maintains extremely high flow rates at low pressure drop (initial pressure drop < 0.08 bar).

Applications of 100 Micron Filter Cartridges
100-micron filter cartridges can be used in cooling water systems, food and beverage pretreatment, agricultural irrigation, and marine and ballast water treatment.
Effectively removes rust particles from cooling towers, biological slime fragments, and foreign contaminants from cooling water. Maintenance intervals for downstream heat exchangers can be extended by approximately 40%. In systems with flow rates up to 50 m³/h, it maintains water turbidity at a low level.
Effectively intercepts large particles and organic debris in the water source, protecting expensive downstream membrane separation systems (such as ultrafiltration or nanofiltration). FiltEdge cartridges, compliant with NSF/ANSI 42 standards, can withstand instantaneous thermal sterilization pressures of up to 82°C when processing fruit juice.
Effectively filter out fine sand and algae fragments from irrigation water. FiltEdge filter cartridges are designed with an extremely high dirt holding capacity; when treating non-potable well water, a single cartridge can hold over 500g of solid impurities without affecting outlet pressure

Testimonials
In our pretreatment process, the high salinity of seawater and large amounts of suspended sediment had a significant impact on us. Under high-pressure backwash cycles, many filter cartridges experienced pore deformation. However, after switching to FiltEdge 100-micron 316L stainless steel filter cartridges, their performance has been exceptionally stable. Even during extreme operating condition tests at 250°C, no seam cracking occurred thanks to their advanced thermal bonding process.
Javier Gonzalez, Operations DirectorIndustry: A major desalination and mining engineering project in ChileThe pH of the fluid in our production line fluctuates significantly, but FiltEdge’s Resin-Bonded Series cartridges have perfectly resolved this issue. When processing high-viscosity polymers, we have never experienced particle breakthrough or media migration, even at a differential pressure of 0.25 MPa. Furthermore, this mechanical strength ensures the consistency of our product batches, with the pass rate for particle detection increasing to 99.8%.
Dr. Ananya Sharma, Chief Process EngineerIndustry: Specialty Chemicals ProductionWe source our water from a river, where TSS levels often exceed standards. FiltEdge cartridges intercept contaminants in layers from the outside in, rather than simply clogging the surface. The current Dirt Holding Capacity is more than double that of the brand we previously used.
Liam O'Connor, Farm Facilities ManagerIndustry: Large-scale automated irrigation systems in Australia
Primary pre-filtration, used to intercept large particulate contaminants to protect downstream ultrafiltration (UF) or reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. It serves as the first line of defense, specifically designed for fluids with high TSS levels.
When the inlet-outlet pressure difference (ΔP) reaches the preset alarm value of 2.0–2.5 bar, check if there is a noticeable drop in downstream flow; if so, replace the cartridge immediately.
This depends on the material. The stainless steel series supports ultrasonic cleaning or backwashing; however, the PP spunbond and pleated series are single-use consumables, and cleaning is not recommended. Metal mesh filter cartridges can be reused after backwashing, while polymer-based cartridges should be replaced directly to ensure filtration precision.
