Folded cartridges in washable 50 micron fabric - code: T-0797-50

Pleated cartridges in washable fabric 50 micron – T-0797-50

The pleated cartridges in washable fabric are a practical solution for mechanical filtration in water treatment plants, where it is useful to retain sediments and suspended particles. This model is identified by the code T-0797-50 and is made with a pleated structure designed to offer an extended filtering surface, maintaining a format suitable for use in routine maintenance and technical applications.

Materials

• Filtering fabric: polyester.
• Internal frame and end caps: polypropylene.
• Non-toxic material, indicated as suitable for drinking water.

The combination of polyester (as filtering medium) and polypropylene (as support structure) is common in water treatment plants, because it offers good compatibility with sediment filtration use and easy handling during cleaning.

Filtration grade

The filtration grade is 50 micron, suitable for removing coarse particles and sediments typical of feed and process waters. The choice of micron rating should be evaluated based on the plant's objective and the sensitivity of the equipment to be protected.

Typical applications

These cartridges are suitable for applications where it is necessary to retain solid impurities and protect plant components. In particular, they are suitable for the following applications:

• Removal of sediments present in the water.
• Removal of sand and coarse particles.
• Retention of suspended particles.
• Process water filtration.
• Protection of softeners domestic and industrial.

In technical contexts (plant engineering, maintenance, onboard applications), upstream mechanical filtration can help reduce the entry of solids into the most sensitive components, simplifying plant management and limiting the accumulation of impurities in downstream sections.

Operational advantages

• Increased filtering surface thanks to the pleated structure, useful for managing the presence of sediments.
• Washability: allows cleaning and restoring operation based on usage conditions.
• Polymeric materials (polyester and polypropylene) suitable for typical water treatment applications.
• Versatile use in sediment filtration and as protection for downstream equipment (e.g. softeners).

Choosing a washable cartridge is particularly useful when the incoming water quality may vary over time or when scheduled maintenance management is desired, without frequent replacements solely due to particulate accumulation.

Use and maintenance notes

To achieve performance consistent with the filtration goal, it is important to insert the cartridge into a suitable filter housing and monitor any sediment accumulation. In the presence of water with high turbidity or sand, the cleaning frequency may vary depending on actual operating conditions.

Scheduled cleaning

The indicated maintenance involves washing every 3 months. In practice, it is advisable to:

• perform a visual check during routine plant maintenance;
• proceed with washing when a significant sediment buildup is noticed or when the plant requires restoring normal circulation;
• make sure the cartridge is properly repositioned before putting it back into service.

Operational notes

• Use the cartridge for the intended applications: sediments, sand and suspended particles.
• If in doubt about sizing or compatibility with your filter holder, check the product code T-0797-50 when ordering and comparing spare parts.
• For systems with specific needs (process water, softener protection), evaluate the micron rating based on the required level of protection.
