3M’s high-flow filter systems add convenience and ease of use

John Brooks Company carries 3M high-flow filters.

John Brooks Company Limited carries filtration solutions by 3M, including a line of high-flow filter systems. These products offer high-flow performance in a compact design and are perfect for tasks in which convenience and ease of use are crucial. The distributor recommends these filter systems particularly for original-equipment manufacturers’ applications.

With the help of 3M Innovation and 3M Purification’s extensive filtration experience, users get flow rates as high as 500 gallons per minute (gpm) in one cartridge from these filter systems.

Longer life, lower cost

The housings of these products include an ergonomically designed handle and a unique “twist-to-lock” seating mechanism for easy operation and maintenance. The Compound Radial Pleat design packs substantially higher usable surface areas per unit volume than users can achieve with standard pleated cartridge filters. Each grade of the cartridge is made of melt-blown polypropylene microfibre media.

Technical specifications of these high-flow filter systems include maximum operating temperature of 71 degrees Celsius, maximum forward differential pressure of 50 psid at 20 degrees Celsius, and recommended changeout pressure of 35 psid at 20 degrees Celsius. Other features and advantages of these units from John Brooks Company:

• High flow capacity. Low filter use minimizes product loss, labour, disposal expenses, user exposure, and changeout downtime.
• Patent-pending Compound Radial Pleat design. High loading capacity for long life and lower-cost filtration.
• Compact design. Smaller housing minimizes capital expense needs and lowers footprint.
• Absolute rating. Reproducible effluent quality for a full lifespan.
• Ease of use. No special tools or hardware necessary for changeout.
• Suitability for food-processing tasks. Compliant with the standards of the United States Food and Drug Administration.

With housing sizes 33-to-50 per cent smaller than competitively sized and flow-rated housings are, these filter systems offer superior appearance and fit. The robust cartridge centre-post design eliminates bulky support plates, for easy access to housing internals. The convenient cover designs offer easy element changeout, and the carbon steel and stainless steel provides effective anti-corrosion protection.

3M’s high-flow series of filter housings are designed specifically to deliver all possible benefits of filtration in a compact footprint.
