High-flow filter systems by 3M: great performance in compact design

3M manufactures high-flow filter systems.

3M filtration products are available through John Brooks Company Limited, including a selection of high-flow filter systems. These solutions provide high-flow performance in a compact design and are ideal for applications that demand ease of use and convenience. 3M’s high-flow filter systems are recommended especially for original-equipment manufacturers. Users get flow rates of up to 500 gallons per minute (gpm) in one cartridge from these systems, with the help of 3M Innovation and 3M Purification’s extensive filtration experience and expertise.

Simple operation and maintenance

These filter systems have housings that include an ergonomically designed handle and a unique “twist-to-lock” seating mechanism for simple operation and maintenance. The Compound Radial Pleat design packs significantly higher usable surface areas per unit volume than can be achieved with typical pleated cartridge filters. Every grade of the cartridge is made from melt-blown polypropylene microfibre media.

Among the technical specifications of these high-flow filter systems are maximum operation 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 of these products from John Brooks Company:

• Absolute rating – reproducible effluent quality for a full lifespan
• Compact design – smaller housing minimizes capital expense requirements while reducing footprint
• Ease of use – no special tools or hardware required for changeout
• 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
• Suitability for food-processing applications – compliance with the standards of the United States Food and Drug Administration

These filter systems provide better appearance and fit, with housing sizes 33-to-50 per cent smaller than competitively sizes and flow-rated housings are. The robust cartridge centre-post design eliminates bulky support plates, for easier access to housing internals. The convenient cover designs provide easy element changeout, and the carbon steel and stainless steel offers strong anti-corrosion protection.

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