Pleated membrane cartridges function on the principle of surface filtration. These cartridges due to their unique pleated design offer up to 8 times more filtration area compared to depth style filter cartridges. Extended filtration area results in longer service life.
The filtration mechanism in depth style filter cartridges depends on cross sectional thickness of cartridge. When the fluid flows across the filter media, the contaminants get trapped within the matrix of the media. The thickness imparts large dirt holding capacity for trapping the contaminants.
