5 micron cartridge, wrapped wire 5" – code: 5MP5 – Idromar

5 micron wound wire filter cartridge 5” Idromar (code 5MP5)

The Idromar cartridge 5MP5 is a spare part for mechanical filtration made of 100% pure polypropylene % with technology wound wire. It is designed to retain sediments and suspended particulates (such as sand and impurities) within water treatment systems and technical applications, including nautical and plant engineering contexts where a fine prefiltration before subsequent stages.

With 5 micron filtration grade and size 5”, this cartridge is used as a routine maintenance component: a practical solution when you want to keep the filtration line efficient and reduce dirt buildup in downstream components.

Features and construction details

The cartridge is made with polypropylene wound wire and a support structure designed for reliable use in mechanical filtration. The wound wire configuration is commonly used to intercept particles and sediments, helping to keep the water circuit where it is installed cleaner.

Available specifications

• Material: wound wire of polypropylene (100% pure)
• Filtration grade: 5 microns
• Height: 5” (12.6 cm)
• Outer diameter: 6.3 cm
• Supplier product code: 5MP5
• Supplier: IDROMAR INTERNATIONAL S.A.S.

What it retains

This cartridge is suitable for the removal of sediments and impurities typical of mechanical filtration, for example:

• sand
• dirt and particulates
• suspended impurities

Typical applications

The 5 micron wound wire cartridge is used as prefilter or as a mechanical filtration element in systems where fine particulate retention is required.

Usage contexts

• Water treatment in technical systems
• Nautical applications and onboard plant engineering (prefiltration and sediment management)
• Replacement for filter holders compatible with 5” format”

Note: compatibility depends on the filter holder and the dimensions required by the system. Always check format and measurements before purchase.

Operational advantages

• Fine pre-filtration of particulate matter thanks to the 5 micron filtration grade
• Polypropylene material, suitable for mechanical filtration and routine maintenance
• Compact 5” size”, useful where space is limited or where the system requires this size
• Simple replacement to be managed in the technical warehouse and during scheduled interventions

Use and maintenance notes

The cartridge is a consumable component: its effectiveness depends on the level of dirt and the quality of the incoming water. Regular replacement helps maintain the filtration line in proper condition and limits sediment buildup in the circuit.

Replacement interval (indicative)

The maintenance indicated for this model includes a replacement every 3/6 months, depending on the type of water and the level of dirt.

Good practices

• Periodically check the condition of the cartridge and plan replacement based on actual usage conditions.
• Before installation, check height (5” / 12.6 cm) and outer diameter (6.3 cm) required by the filter holder.
• If in doubt about the choice of filtration grade, consider that 5 microns it is aimed at fine mechanical filtration of particulate matter.
