Cartuccia a filo avvolto 10" 5 micron – codice: 10MP5 – Idromar

Cartuccia filtrante a filo avvolto Idromar 10MP5 (10″ – 5 micron)

The wound film cartridge Idromar code 10MP5 is a filtering element for mechanical depth filtration (depth filter), designed to retain sediments and suspended particulates in water. The size 10″ makes it a practical solution as prefilter in impianti di trattamento acqua e come protezione di apparecchiature a valle, in ambito impiantistico e di bordo.

Il materiale filtrante è realizzato in 100% pure polypropylene wire, wound on a polypropylene internal core, a typical construction of wound wire cartridges. The filtration rating 5 μm (5 microns) is suitable for removing fine particles such as sand, silt, and rust residues.

Features and construction details

Type: mechanical depth filtration

This cartridge belongs to the category of wound wire filter cartridges, , notes for the ability to retain impurities along the thickness of the material (“depth” filtration). It is a typical choice when the goal is to intercept sediments and particulate before they reach more sensitive components of the system.

Materials

• Filter material: wire of 100% pure polypropylene %.
• Internal support: polypropylene core (typical of wound wire construction).

Format and filtration grade

• Nominal length: 10″ (approximately 25.4 cm).
• Filtration grade: 5 μm (5 micron).

Typically retained contaminants

The rating 5 microns it is intended for the removal of fine particles and suspended impurities, for example:

• sand and fine sand;
• silt;
• rust and oxidation residues;
• sediments and particulate matter;
• visible suspended solid impurities.

What it is not designed to do

As a cartridge for mechanical filtration, it is not intended for specific treatments that require different technologies. In particular, it is not designed to:

• eliminate bacteria or viruses;
• remove dissolved salts;
• reduce chlorine, odors or chemicals (for these applications cartridges are used with activated carbon or other dedicated systems).

Typical applications (nautical and plant engineering)

The Idromar 10MP5 cartridge is used as prefilter in systems where it is useful to intercept sediments before they can accumulate or cause problems downstream. In a technical context (including onboard), it can be inserted in water treatment lines and at points where fine mechanical filtration is desired.

• Prefiltration in water treatment plants.
• Protection of equipment downstream from sediments and particulates.
• Use in circuits where the presence of sand, silt, or rust can compromise operation or increase maintenance.

Operational advantages

• Fine filtration at 5 microns for sediments and suspended impurities.
• Wound wire construction with depth filtration, suitable for particulate management.
• Polypropylene materials (wire and core) for a simple and widespread solution in plant engineering.
• 10″ size practical for maintenance and replacement interventions.

Use and maintenance notes

The cartridge is indicated as a consumable element: its effectiveness depends on the amount and type of sediments present in the water and the usage profile of the system. According to available indications, the replacement is indicative every 3–6 months, variable depending on water quality and usage.

• Consider replacement when you notice an increase in pressure drop or a deterioration in system performance (in relation to your system).
• For needs other than mechanical filtration (odors, chlorine, chemicals, microbiology), consider integration with specific cartridges or dedicated systems.
• Always check the dimensional compatibility con il tuo portafiltro/impianto prima dell’acquisto (formato nominale 10″).
