Pleated washable fabric cartridges 20 micron, 5 pcs – code: X5CARTPIEGH

Pleated cartridges in washable 20-micron fabric (5 pcs) – X5CARTPIEGH

The pleated cartridges in washable fabric are designed for mechanical water filtration, aiming to retain impurities such as sediments and suspended particles. The pleated (folded) structure is designed to offer a large filtering surface in a compact format, making it suitable for systems where practical and manageable filtration maintenance is desired.

Features and construction details

The cartridge is made with a combination of materials selected for filtration use:

• Filtering fabric: polyester
• Internal frame and end caps: polypropylene
• Pleated structure: designed to increase the filtering surface area
• Type: cartridge washable for periodic maintenance

The filtration grade 20 micron is aimed at removing solid impurities typical of mechanical filtration, such as sand and sediments, helping to keep the circuit cleaner and reduce particulate buildup in later stages of the system.

Typical applications

These cartridges are suitable for filtration applications where the removal of solid particles from water is required. In particular, they are commonly used for:

• Removal of sediments
• Removal of sand
• Retention of suspended particles
• Protection of softeners in domestic and industrial settings
• Protection of desalination units

In plant contexts (including nautical), use as pre-filtration can be useful to limit the entry of particulates into sensitive components, contributing to more orderly system maintenance management.

Operational advantages

• Targeted mechanical filtration: suitable for intercepting solid impurities such as sediments and sand.
• Pleated structure: designed to offer a large filtering surface in a compact footprint.
• Washable cartridge: allows periodic cleaning, useful in systems with scheduled maintenance.
• Construction materials: combination of polyester (fabric) and polypropylene (frame and end caps) for a structure functional for filtration use.
• Pack of 5 pieces: convenient for stock, replacements, and managing multiple filter points.

Good practices

• Periodically check the cartridge condition and the presence of dirt buildup.
• Perform washing according to the indicated frequency (every 3 months) or based on usage conditions.
• During maintenance, also inspect the filter container and seals, keeping the seating areas clean.

Product identification

• Supplier code: X5CARTPIEGH
• SKU: GDA000000010
• Package: 5 pcs
• Filtration grade: 20 micron

If you are selecting a cartridge for an existing system, it is good practice to compare the product code and declared characteristics with those required by your portafilter or the system manufacturer.
